Historical Archaeology

Historical archaeology is the study of past human activities through the examination of material remains, such as artifacts and structures, from periods that overlap with written history. It focuses on understanding everyday life, cultural practices, and historical events by analyzing objects left behind, like pottery, tools, and buildings. By combining archaeological evidence with historical documents, researchers can gain a more comprehensive view of societies, their interactions, and how they evolved over time. This field helps uncover stories of various communities, including those often overlooked in traditional historical narratives.
