Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of past human societies and cultures through the recovery, analysis, and interpretation of material remains. This includes artifacts, structures, biofacts, and other cultural or environmental data. By examining these physical remnants, archaeologists aim to reconstruct historic life, understand cultural development, and explore human behavior across different time periods. Archaeology often involves fieldwork, such as excavations, followed by laboratory analysis to interpret findings. It bridges the humanities and sciences, helping uncover the complexities of human history and prehistory, and informing our understanding of social, economic, and technological changes over time.
