Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. It aims to understand past human behavior, cultural practices, and social structures by examining material evidence left behind. Archaeologists investigate sites, which can range from ancient dwellings and burial grounds to entire cities, to uncover information about the lives of people from different time periods. This discipline utilizes various methods, including excavation, surveying, and dating techniques, to interpret findings and construct a narrative of human development and interaction with the environment over time.
