What can we learn from an archaeologist?

Question

finding pre-historic remains neatly organized?

Answer 1

Archaeology, archeology, or archæology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study human behavior and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies. It is considered in North America to be one of the four sub-fields of anthropology.
Please see the web page for more details on Archeology.

Answer 2

Archeologists do a lot of the base work for many other groups. A lot of the times they are the ones who go on the digs for the physical remains of a culture. With the physical evidence they find, other groups, and themselves as well, can hypothesize the findings. From their research, we learn about history: How things worked, lifestyles, how buildings and cities were constructed, why some cultures disappeared and so on.

Often they work with Anthropologists, who study cultures, psychologists, physicists, mathematicians, and who ever else may be needed to help clarify the results. They do a lot of research, and rarely are things found nicely organized.

And Paleontologists are the ones who generally work with pre-historic remains, at least that is their specialty. Archeologists tend to focus on work while man has been in existence, which is a relatively short time.

Answer 3

We don't have a time machine yet so archaeology is the best way to learn about ourselves and our connection to the past. I wish we did have a time machine, but we don't. Ten million years from now maybe an alien archaeologist will come here and investigate. This alien would be able to learn a great deal about us if it were a skilled archaeologist and drank lots of coffee.

Answer 4

The world is moving forward and so rapidly. Finding pre-historic things? What can we learned from it? Use what we find and the knowledge we gain from it. Well, we go back to stone age. Sound great. We can be naked again.

We can learn all of the past that may hold some of the future.
