Islamic archaeology

Islamic archaeology is the study of material remains from Muslim societies across history, aimed at understanding their cultural, religious, and social aspects. It involves excavating and analyzing artifacts like architecture, pottery, inscriptions, and objects that reveal how Islamic communities lived, worshipped, and interacted. By examining these physical traces, archaeologists explore the development of Islamic art, architecture, and urban planning, providing insights into the diversity and history of Muslim civilizations over centuries. This field helps contextualize Islamic history within broader human cultural developments through scientific methods and careful interpretation of material evidence.
