Archaeology

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation, analysis, and interpretation of material remains. These remains may include artifacts, structures, and other physical evidence left behind by past societies. Archaeologists aim to reconstruct past lifestyles, cultures, and histories by examining these materials in their historical contexts. The discipline often involves fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and theoretical interpretation to understand how ancient peoples lived, interacted, and evolved over time. Archaeology intersects with various fields, including anthropology, history, and art history, and it plays a critical role in preserving cultural heritage.
