Archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of
material culture. The word, archeology, is a compound term from two Greek words,
archaios meaning ancient or old and logia which means learning or studying. Archeolgy inholds so many different branches of sciences. The primary ones are
these: Prehistoric archeology, clasical archeology, prehistoric and asia minor
archeology. Archeology provides us with the opportunity to learn about past
cultures through the study of artifacts, animal bones, and sometimes human
bones.Studying these artifacts helps to provide us with some insight about what life
was like for people who left behind no written records. A new city is built on top of
the old one, therefore, old cities are earthed up and accumulated debris turns into
hills. These kinds of hills are called mound. However, not all archeological find is a
mound. Caves, building areas, ancient cities are in research interest of archeology.
There are so many written documents in regards to ancient times. These records
provides us with information about taxes, law, ceremonial, kings and rulers. Reading these documents do not allow us learn about the life of ordinary people in
ancient times. Yet, archeology enables us to dig up and find the relics of houses,
courts, tombs, and temples to see what life was like for people from ordinary people
to royal people.
