Archaeology or '''archæology''' or sometimes in American English '''archeology''' (from the Greek language|Greek words ''αρχαίος'' = ancient and ''λόγος'' = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of cultural and environmental data, including architecture, Artifact (archaeology)|artifacts, Biofact (archaeology)|biofacts, human remains, and landscapes. The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, culture history, cultural evolution, and human behaviour and ecology. It is the only discipline that possesses the method and theory for the collection and interpretation of information about the pre-written human past, and can also make a critical contribution to our understanding of documented societies.
