What is Archaeology? Photo from my work at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Archaeologists DO NOT: Study dinosaurs. Just look for pretty or valuable objects. Just pick up artifacts. Spend all their time just digging. Buy, sell, or put a price on artifacts.

The systematic, scientific recovery and analysis of artifacts in order to answer questions about past human culture and behavior. So what is archaeology? Photos from my work at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Systematic: A consistent way of studying anything.

Science: Methods and knowledge of studying anything.

Recovery / Analysis: To collect and study artifacts.

Artifact: Any item resulting from human activity.

When did they live? Where did they live? What did they eat? How large was the group? Did they have disease or sickness? Did they have art? Did they hunt or farm? What tools did they use? Did they have writing? Who took care of the children? Did they have laws? Did they have religion? Question-based: Archaeologists study artifacts in order to answer questions about how humans lived.

Past: Archaeologists study human cultures that are no longer living.

Archaeologists study humans that have been gone for 50 years to 4.5 million years.

Culture: Any learned behavior that is shared with others.

So what is Archaeology? More simply it is the study of artifacts left behind to learn about people from the past. OR People and their Garbage
