Archaeological Anthropology

Archaeological anthropology is the study of past human societies through their material remains, such as tools, pottery, buildings, and fossils. By examining these artifacts, archaeologists can understand how people lived, what they valued, and how they interacted with their environment. This field connects anthropology, which focuses on human cultures and behaviors, with archaeology, the study of ancient places and objects. Together, they help us piece together the history of humankind, revealing insights into social structures, economies, and cultural practices across different time periods and regions.
