Archaeology is the science of unearthing sites containing remains of ancient habitation, with the goal of learning about culture, society, ecology, intellectual life and beliefs; modern archaeology employs the tools of history, anthropology, geology, and biology to recover the hidden past.
Archaeology studies ancient peoples and cultures by analyzing their artifacts, inscriptions, monuments, and other remains.
Begun in Europe during the Renaissance, archaeology was used to explain chance discoveries of artifacts in biblical or classical terms.
