Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains left behind by past cultures. It seeks to understand the development of human societies, their behaviors, and their interactions with the environment over time. Archaeologists examine material evidence, such as tools, pottery, bones, and architecture, to piece together past lifestyles, social structures, and cultural practices. This discipline often involves fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and various dating methods to establish timelines and contexts for findings. As a vital branch of anthropology, archaeology contributes to our understanding of humanity’s past, providing insights into the evolution of civilizations and the factors that have shaped human experience through time.
