Archaeology, or archeology, is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. In North America, archaeology is considered a sub-field of anthropology, while in Europe archaeology is often viewed as either a discipline in its own right or a sub-field of other disciplines.
Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi, eastern Africa, 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. Archaeology as a field is distinct from the discipline of paleontology, the study of fossil remains. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for whom there may be no written records to study. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies across the world. Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

Archaeologist Richard Miles presents a series charting the history of the breakthroughs and watersheds in our long quest to understand our ancient past. He begins by going back 2,000 years to explore how archaeology began by trying to prove a biblical truth - a quest that soon got archaeologists into dangerous water.

Learning about our ancestors and history fascinates us to no end, especially when you consider some of the most important archaeological discoveries in history.

Though many see it as a dry, boring field (besides Indiana Jones, maybe), archaeology is still a very dynamic and robust area of study. As will be reinforced by this list, magnificent discoveries are still frequently made.

Michael A. Cremo Historian of Archeology Abstract: Over the past two centuries, archaeologists have found bones, footprints, and artifacts showing that people like ourselves have existed on earth for many millions of years. But many scientists have forgotten or ignored these remarkable facts. Why? Primarily because they contradict the now dominant evolutionary views about human origins and antiquity. According to these views, humans like ourselves have existed for only about 100,000 or 200,000 years, and before that there were only more primitive human ancestors. This evolutionary paradigm, to which influential groups of scientists are deeply committed, has acted as a "knowledge filter." And the filtering, intentional or not, has left us with a radically incomplete set of facts for buildi...
Now, she's left you
Left you for another guy
Now, she's left you
And you feel you wanna die
She's no longer by your side
And your tears you cannot hide
Now, she's left you, my friend
Now, she's left you
Now, she's left you
And you're feeling so alone
Now, she's left you
Sat beside a telephone
That pulls at your heartstrings
Every time it rings
Now, she's left you, my friend
Now, she's left you
Your love is up to date my friend today
Yesterday has gone and tomorrow's on its way
Now, she's left you
And you don't know what to do
Now she's left you
Go and find somebody new
You have my sympathy
For she did the same to me
Now, she's left you, my friend
Now, she's left you
Now, she's left you, my friend
Now, she's left you
