Mediterranean Archaeology

Mediterranean archaeology is the study of ancient cultures and societies that thrived around the Mediterranean Sea, including regions like Greece, Italy, Egypt, and the Levant. Researchers excavate artifacts, structures, and sites to understand the history, trade, art, and daily lives of these civilizations. This field reveals connections between diverse cultures, such as the influence of the Romans and Greeks on later societies. By analyzing these findings, scholars gain insights into human development, interaction, and the spread of ideas over thousands of years, contributing to our understanding of cultural heritage and history.
