Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of material remains, such as artifacts, structures, and biofacts. It involves examining physical evidence left behind by past societies to understand their cultures, behaviors, and interactions over time. Archaeologists seek to reconstruct past ways of life and understand the development of human civilizations by analyzing tools, pottery, bones, and other remnants. This field often integrates various scientific techniques, including carbon dating, geospatial analysis, and environmental archaeology, to gain insights into the chronological and contextual relationships of findings. Through systematic fieldwork and laboratory analysis, archaeology contributes to our knowledge of historical events, social structures, and technological advancements across different cultures and epochs.
