Near East archaeology

Near East archaeology is the study of ancient cultures in the region that includes modern-day countries like Iraq, Syria, Iran, and parts of Turkey and Israel. This field examines artifacts, structures, and written records to understand the history, society, and daily life of civilizations such as the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. By uncovering and analyzing these remnants, archaeologists enhance our knowledge of human development, trade, religion, and agriculture, shedding light on the roots of modern societies and their cultural evolution over thousands of years.
