Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of material remains, such as artifacts, structures, and landscapes. This discipline seeks to understand past cultures, societies, and human behavior by examining what people left behind, including tools, pottery, bones, and ruins. Archaeologists employ various methods, including field surveys, excavations, and laboratory analysis, to gather information about how people lived, interacted, and adapted to their environments. The findings in archaeology provide insights into historical timelines, cultural practices, technological advancements, and social organization, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of human development throughout time.
