Archaeology

Archaeology is a scientific discipline that studies human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of material remains. These remains can include artifacts, structures, biofacts, and cultural landscapes left behind by past civilizations. The primary goal of archaeology is to understand human behavior, cultural practices, social organization, and the development of societies over time. By employing systematic fieldwork, such as excavation, surveying, and laboratory analysis, archaeologists gather data that contributes to a broader understanding of how humans have interacted with their environment and each other throughout history. Archaeology often intersects with other fields, including anthropology, history, and geology, to provide insights into the evolution of human life and cultures.
