Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artefacts, structures, and other physical remains. It seeks to understand past human behaviours, cultures, and societies by examining material evidence left behind. This can include tools, pottery, bones, and architecture, among other items. Archaeologists employ various methods to locate and recover these remains, often using techniques from the physical sciences. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of human development and historical context, illuminating how past populations lived, interacted, and transformed their environments.
