Archaeology is the eleventh Bluey short. For the longest time, this short was only available in Australia. It was released on 1st April 2022 to the official Bluey Facebook page.[1] However, on 9th March 2025, it was released worldwide on YouTube.[2]

At a lecture, Marcus introduces Doctor Bandit Heeler, who presents a fossilized bone from his archaeological research. As Bandit explains, the bone provides evidence of the evolution of modern bipedal dogs from distant, quadrupedal ancestors. However, after concluding his remarks, Bandit begins gnawing on the fossil, demonstrating that two-legged dogs aren't so different from the four-legged variety.
