Paul C. Williams - Personal Web Site and BlogArchaeologyFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaArchaeology, archeology, or archæology (from Greek: αρχα?ος, archaios, combining form in Latin archae-, "ancient"; and  λ?γος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes. The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study human behavior and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies. It is considered, in North America, to be one of the four sub-fields of anthropology.
