Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. It aims to understand past human behavior, culture, and societies by examining material evidence left behind. Archaeologists dig at historical sites to uncover items such as tools, pottery, bones, and ruins, which are then studied to infer how ancient people lived, worked, and interacted with their environment. The discipline often employs techniques from various fields, including history, anthropology, geology, and chemistry, to interpret the findings within their cultural and chronological contexts. Through archaeology, insights into human development, social organization, and technological advancements are gained, contributing to a broader understanding of humanity’s diverse cultural heritage.
