Introduction
www.entranzz.com
Archaeology is an interdisciplinary activity that
revolves around the investigation of material
development made by earlier human societies. The
objective of this discipline is to study past
human cultures by identification, survey, and
excavation of historical sites. These sites yield
remains of earlier cultures in the form of relics
(such as pottery, weapons, jewellery, articles of
daily use, plant, animal, and human remains and
so on) and architecture.
