This page is a [[Wikipedia:Wikiportal|Wikiportal]] to serve as a gateway in accessing archaeology related pages.

'''Archaeology''' is the study of humanity's past through systematically examining and interpreting the material remains left behind. Its aims are primarily to recover, analyse, record  and classify archaeological material. Using this information, archaeologists then try to describe and understand past human behaviour. In the [[Old World]], the subject has traditionally focused on [[archaeological site]]s and the material remains they contain. In the [[New World]], archaeology is more closely related to [[anthropology]] in that it centres more on societies and their beliefs. In either case however, archaeology has moved on from being an effort to record and categorise the past to a field that tries to understand motivations, causes and effects both in past cultures and in the very practice of the discipline itself.
