ARCHAEOLOGY 101
archaeological INSTITUTE of AMERICA 1 ARCHAEOLOGY 101 INTRODUCTION ARCHAEOLOGY is the study of past cultures through the material (physical) remains that people left behind. These can range from small artifacts, such as arrowheads, to large buildings, such as pyramids or temple complexes. Anything that people created, used, or modified, and the places where they did so, is part of the archaeological record. Archaeologists use these remains to understand and recreate all aspects of past culture, from the daily lives of ordinary people to the grand conquests of emperors.
survey (usually by density patterns of small artifacts, such as broken pieces of pottery) are plotted on a map. If a team decides to excavate a site they have identified by survey, a detailed map is also made before digging begins. The map is the first of a series of records made during an archaeological investigation.
