Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation, analysis, and interpretation of material remains left by past civilizations. This includes artifacts, structures, bones, tools, and other physical evidence that provide insights into the lives, cultures, and activities of ancient peoples. Archaeologists aim to reconstruct past human behavior and understand the development of societies over time, exploring aspects such as technology, economy, art, and social organization. The discipline combines techniques from the humanities and sciences, including geology, biology, and environmental science, to investigate how humans interacted with their environment and each other throughout history.
