 Archaeology
or archeology (American English) is the study of human cultures through
the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including
architecture, artefacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes. The
goal of archaeology is to shed light on long-term human prehistory,
history, behaviour and cultural evolution. |
| Since we started these hunts
two years ago we have made an increasing number of unexpected finds of
serious historical importance. Examples like Mass Bruce's Bronze Age axe
head hoard and Ohio Bud's Saxon gold dagger cheaf are being purchased
by museums subject to valuation after Treasure inquest. Extensive research
on the land we have permission to use by Canadian Rod shows that this
is perhaps the tip of the iceberg. To ensure the correct handling of these
important discoveries I am currently studying archeology as a formal course
now .
