'''Archaeology''', or archeology (from [[Greek]] ἀρχαιολογία, archaiologia – ἀρχαῖος, arkhaios, "[[ancient]]"; and -λογία, -logia, "-logy"), is the study of human activity, primarily through the recovery and [[analysis]] of the material [[culture]] and environmental data that they have left behind, which includes [[artifacts]], [[architecture]], biofacts and cultural landscapes (the archaeological record). Because archaeology employs a wide range of different procedures, it can be considered to be both a science and a humanity, and in the United States it is thought of as a branch of [[anthropology]], although in Europe it is viewed as a separate [[discipline]].
