Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. This discipline aims to understand past cultures and societies by examining material evidence left behind, such as tools, pottery, bones, and architectural ruins. Archaeologists utilize various methods, including surveying, excavation, and dating techniques, to uncover and interpret these remnants. The field not only seeks to reconstruct historical narratives but also emphasizes understanding the relationships between humans and their environments over time. Archaeology often involves interdisciplinary approaches, incorporating insights from history, anthropology, geology, and art history to build a comprehensive picture of past human life.
