"Archaeology (Greek: archaios, "old" and lógos, "study"; literally, "study of antiquities") is a science that uses scientific and humanistic methods to explore the cultural development of humanity. It has developed worldwide into a network of diverse theoretical and practical disciplines. Archaeology is exclusively interested in humans and their material remains, such as buildings, tools, and works of art. It covers a period from the first stone tools around 2.5 million years ago to the present day. Even the material remains of recent history (such as concentration camps and bunker lines from World War II) are now being evaluated using archaeological methods (although this approach to "contemporary history" archaeology is controversial)."
"Part of the comprehensive discipline of anthropology – the study of humanity.
Physical/biological anthropology: The development of human physical/biological characteristics
Cultural anthropology/ethnology: Human culture and society
Linguistic anthropology: Linguistic varieties in relation to social factors and their temporal development
Archaeology: The culture of earlier societies, based on the material remains of their culture and their surviving written documents (if any)"

"By the term archaeology, I mean a science that, in a certain sense, represents the sum total of the individual archaeologies—a science, that is, that is primarily devoted to the study of the non-literate material traces of past cultures and thus makes its own contribution to the knowledge of the historical universe."

"If History is bunk, then Archaeology is junk. This bizarre subject entails seeking, retrieving and studying the abandoned, lost, broken and discarded traces left by human beings in the past. Archaeologists are therefore the precise opposite of dustmen, though they often dress like them. Archaeology is rather like a vast, fiendish jigsaw puzzle invented by the devil as an instrument of tantalising torment, since:
Prehistoric persons did not always have the foresight to use materials like stone or pottery that survive the ages, and untold quantities of objects have decayed and disappeared. This is bad news for the archaeologist, but wonderful news for you..."

Archaeology of Archaeologists

1. What is archaeology?
"Archaeology is described not just as the study of ancient remains, but as “an approach, a set of methods, ideas and perspectives which are used to investigate the past through its material remains.” It seeks understanding through material things, whether those are prehistoric settlements, protest camps, Cold War test facilities, or even a Ford Transit van"
2. What do archaeologists do?
" Archaeologists survey, excavate, record, and analyze sites and objects from both ancient and modern contexts. Their work ranges from traditional digs to projects like dismantling and studying a van used by archaeologists themselves. "
3. What do archaeologists study?
"They study the material remains of human activity — from prehistoric tools and medieval ceramics to modern industrial materials, vehicles, and even protest sites."
4. What methods do they use?
Survey & recording: photographing, drawing, documenting contexts.
Excavation: dismantling layer by layer (even vehicles have “stratigraphy”).
Analysis: studying small finds, environmental samples, and forensic evidence.
Specialist techniques: chemical analysis of dust, fingerprint analysis, and recording wear on components.
