Archaeology is the name given to one of the sciences through which people can find out about their past. It derives from two Greek words which mean “the study of old things”. Through archaeology it is possible to learn about human beings who lived before any history was written to tell us about them. An archaeologist looks at the things people made and left behind them, and tries to understand from them what the people were like and how they lived.

Many archaeological discoveries are made by digging up the ground in places where people are believed to have lived. The remains of their cities are nearly always below ground, because when one city was destroyed a new one was often built on top of it, burying the old one underneath. Gradually layers of soil and rubbish were piled up over the old remains.

Prehistoric archaeology in the study of human being before history began to be written. It is carried out by very careful excavation (digging). There may also be traces of the activities of prehistoric people visible on the ground, such as earthworks and marks of filled-in holes. Something may also be learned from objects such as flint tools picked up from the surface.
