Urban archeology

Urban archaeology is the study of past human activity within cities through the excavation and analysis of buried artifacts, structures, and features. It uncovers historical layers beneath modern urban environments, revealing how people lived, worked, and adapted over time. By examining foundations, artifacts, and other remains, urban archaeologists piece together the city’s development, often working alongside construction projects to preserve and interpret valuable historical information. This field helps us understand the cultural, social, and economic history of urban areas, enabling us to appreciate their heritage while shaping their future.
