What you need to know about Archaeology
Archaeology is the scientific exploration of historical periods and human cultures, involving excavation of sites and analysis of artifacts and ruins. It encompasses the study of diverse fossils and material remnants, ranging from dinosaur bones to human-made tools, and from ancient pottery and agricultural techniques to 20th or 19th-century building remnants.
Branches of Archaeology, shaped by the subject and period of study, include Bioarchaeology, Zooarchaeology, Paleoethnobotany, Classical Archaeology, Egyptology, Prehistoric Archaeology, Historical Archaeology, among others.
Archaeology courses cover a spectrum of subjects, including Archaeological Methods, Cultural Anthropology, Human Evolution, Field Archaeology, Forensic Archaeology, The Prehistoric World, and Environmental Archaeology.
Students opting for Archaeology are inherently curious, actively engaging in the exploration process—excavating remains, managing work at ancient sites, and ensuring the safety and preservation of artifacts and physical remnants.
