Archaeology is the study of past human life through physical remains. It focuses on objects and structures left behind by people. This field is used to learn about times without written records.

Archaeologists work at excavation sites, carefully digging into the ground to uncover items such as tools, pottery, and buildings. Sites like Pompeii in Italy or ancient cities in Peru provide important discoveries. Special tools like brushes and trowels are used to protect fragile finds.

Archaeology is studied worldwide through fieldwork and laboratory analysis. Findings are recorded, preserved, and displayed in museums for further study.
