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 societies. It involves investigating ancient cultures through a systematic method of recovering and interpreting material evidence, such as tools, pottery, ruins, and burial sites. Archaeologists aim to reconstruct past ways of life, understand cultural developments, and provide insights into human behavior over time. The discipline combines elements from the humanities and social sciences, including history, anthropology, and geography, and employs various techniques such as stratigraphy, carbon dating, and geographic information systems (GIS) to gather data. Ultimately, archaeology helps to illuminate the complexities of human civilization and its evolution.
