Archaeological science is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles and methods from archaeology, anthropology, chemistry, physics, biology, and other natural sciences to study and analyze artifacts, sites, and other remnants of past human populations. This field aims to understand and interpret past human behavior, cultural practices, and environmental interactions through the analysis of material culture such as pottery, tools, bones, and ancient structures. Archaeological science employs a wide range of scientific techniques, including radiocarbon dating, DNA analysis, isotopic analysis, and remote sensing, to uncover new insights into the past and the lives of ancient societies.
