Archaeology is a branch of anthropology that attempts to explain human behavior through the study of artifacts such as tools, weapons, pottery, ruins of buildings
and other structures, villages/cities, and jewelry. Anthropologists believe that analysis of an ancient culture's material products often reveals as much about the culture's society, economy, and religion as it does about the culture's art and technology. |
