Archaeological Anthropology
Archaeological Anthropology is a subfield of anthropology that focuses on studying past human societies through their material remains. This includes artifacts, structures, and other physical evidence left behind by people. By analyzing these materials, archaeologists can reconstruct aspects of daily life, social organization, and cultural practices of ancient communities.
This discipline often involves excavation and careful documentation of sites, such as ancient cities or burial grounds. Researchers may study items like pottery, tools, and art to understand how people lived, interacted, and adapted to their environments. Ultimately, archaeological anthropology helps us learn about human history and cultural evolution.
