Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. It seeks to understand past human cultures, behaviors, and societies by examining material evidence left behind, such as tools, pottery, ruins, and bones. Archaeologists utilize various methods, including field surveys, excavations, and laboratory analysis, to gather data and interpret findings. The discipline often overlaps with other fields such as anthropology, history, and geology, providing insights into how humans lived, interacted, and evolved over time. Through archaeology, researchers aim to reconstruct past lifeways, understand cultural developments, and preserve heritage for future generations.
