Archaeology: Overview

"Scientific study of former human life and activities through material remains such as artefacts and buildings. An archaeologist excavates and retrieves remains from the ground or seabed; recording and interpreting the circumstances in which objects were found, such as their level in the soil and association with other objects. This information can then be used to build a picture of the culture that produced the objects" (Archaeology, 2008, papa. 1). archaeology. (2008). In Philip's encyclopedia. Philip's. Credo Reference.
