Medieval Archaeology

Medieval archaeology is the study of the physical remains from the Middle Ages (roughly 500-1500 AD). It involves examining artifacts, structures, and landscapes to understand the daily life, culture, and history of that period. Archaeologists uncover things like buildings, tools, pottery, and graves through excavations and analyze them to learn about medieval society, economy, and beliefs. This field helps us gain a tangible connection to the past, revealing how people lived, worked, and interacted during the medieval era.
