"Archaeology is the study of the ancient and recent human past through material remains. Archaeologists might study the million-year-old fossils of our earliest human ancestors in Africa. Or they might study 20th-century buildings in present-day New York City. Archaeology analyzes the physical remains of the past in pursuit of a broad and comprehensive understanding of human culture."
- Society for American Archaeology
Archaeology is a diverse field of study, and many archaeologists may focus on a particular period in time, a geographic location, a specific civilization (such as Eurasian nomads or the Mongol Empire), or other specializations.
