Inscriptional archaeology

Inscriptional archaeology is the study of ancient writings and inscriptions found on artifacts, monuments, and buildings. These inscriptions can include texts such as stone carvings, pottery markings, or even coins. By analyzing these writings, archaeologists can gain insights into the culture, language, history, and beliefs of past civilizations. This field helps us understand how people communicated, what values they held, and how societies evolved over time, providing a clearer picture of human history.
