What are the goals of archaeology?

What is of value to archaeology?

Answer 1

• Archaeologists mainly study about the past human activity by the processes of dating, excavating as well as interpreting the objects and certain sites which are of historical interest. They also investigate about the historic as well as prehistoric sites and all physical remains to clearly understand all of the human links that are available, to the past and also to preserve the past cultures. Archaeologists basically find out all about the past. They normally use several varieties of digging or extraction techniques and implement many excavation projects, which are informally known as digs thereby preserving the archaeological remains and collecting all data that well informs their understanding of the past.
• The primary goal of archaeology is to actually understand how and why the human behavior, activity, has kept changing over time. Other goals includes: To properly document as well as explain about the origins and the development of human culture, clearly understand the culture history, study of human ecology and behavior(for both the historic and prehistoric societies) and chronicle cultural evolution.
• Archaeology is important because without it, we would never be able to know anything or gather information about human evolution and thereby lose nearly over three million years of human development, activity and growth
