Field archaeology

Field archaeology is the practice of exploring and excavating historical sites to uncover artifacts, structures, and other evidence of past human activity. Archaeologists carefully survey and dig in locations where ancient civilizations may have existed, using methods like excavation and analysis to understand how people lived, worked, and interacted. The goal is to piece together historical narratives and cultural contexts from the findings, which can range from tools and pottery to building remains. This research helps us appreciate the complexities of human history and informs our understanding of different cultures and societies.
