Archaeology is the study of human history and culture through the investigation of physical remains, such as artefacts, architecture, and landscapes. It is a subfield of anthropology focusing on past societies' material remains. Archaeologists use a variety of methods to study and interpret the past, including fieldwork (excavation and survey), laboratory analysis, and theoretical interpretation.

Archaeologists seek to understand how past societies lived, including their economies, social structures, and cultural practices. They also study the relationships between human societies and their environments and the changes that have occurred over time.
