Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation, analysis, and interpretation of material remains. These remains can include artifacts, structures, and other physical evidence left by past cultures. Archaeologists aim to understand the lifestyles, cultures, and societies of ancient peoples by examining the physical evidence they left behind. This field combines aspects of history, anthropology, and the sciences, utilizing methods such as stratigraphy, carbon dating, and various analytical techniques to reconstruct past human activities and societal developments. Through both fieldwork and laboratory analysis, archaeology seeks to piece together the human experience across different time periods and regions, providing insight into how societies have evolved over time.
