What is archaeology?

Archaeology is the formal study of human activity which occurred in the past. It is usually recovered in the realms of the discovery and recovery and also the scientific analysis of material that relates to the culture and environmental things that have been left from the past.

Some examples include architecture, biofacts, artifacts, relics and even human and animal remains. The discipline has become very scientific. It is a career for some. No longer is it considered to be just digging up bones but is very important today. It tells us more about who we are by finding out more about the past.
