Archaeology helps us
Archaeology is the scientific study of the material remains of mankind’s past.
The word archaeology is derived from two Greek words — archaios, meaning ‘ancient’, and logia, meaning ‘science’ or ‘study of’.
Archaeology studies both the things made by people and the things used by them. All the things made by people (settlements, buildings, tools, weapons, ornamental objects, and clothes) are called artifacts.
Originally archaeologists were interested in studying ancient things. Later, archaeologists became interested in societies, religions, and economies of past cultures. Modern archaeology wants to understand not only how cultures change, but also why they change.
