What is Archaeology?

● Study of the past as evidenced by human material culture (artifacts, architecture,
art, tools, vessels, etc)
● Focused on what humans can make and manipulate
● NOT: Paleontology (fossil animals & plants) History (text), Treasure Hunting
(Indiana Jones)

● Archeology is a compound of two Greek words: archaios (ancient) and logos
(knowledge)
● In ancient Greece, archeology referred to any general study of the past.
● Today it has a more specialized meaning: a study of the human past through material
remains.


–Archeology is destructive
-we record everything
-Dig in square grids
-measure and record exact location of every artifact or feature
-Records things in three dimensional space (horizontal and vertical location)


Dating Methods
● Radio carbon
● Coins
● inscriptions/written material
● Ancient historical/literary sources
● Ceramics (pottery)


Interpretation in Archeology
● The material culture is mute. Archeologists must make inferences from the remains.
● Not guesswork, but reasoned conclusions based on the convergence of several lines of
evidence. But mistakes can and do get made.
● Ultimately, all archeological interpretation is subject to change based on new evidence.
