Hi,
Archaeology is the science of studying human cultures through the recovery, analysis and documentation of material remains and environmental data, like architecture, arte facts, features, landscapes.
It is preferable for candidates to have a background of ancient history and culture. The basic eligibility criteria for a Bachelor course in History/ Archaeology (i.e B.A level) of three-year duration, is 10+2 or equivalent.
Like other subjects, archaeology also has a large number of sub-disciplines. One can have a specialization in a particular field after completing the basics of an archaeology course. Some of these specialization areas are characterized by a specific type of material (like archaeobotany, lithic analysis, music), chronological or geographical focus (like Medieval archaeology, Near Eastern archaeology), other thematic areas (like maritime archaeology, battlefield archaeology, landscape archaeology) or a specific archaeological culture or civilization (like Indology, Egyptology).
Some specializations of archaeology are as follows:-
Historical archaeology: - It is the study of cultures with some form of writing.
Ethnoarchaeology: - It is archaeological study of living people.
Experimental archaeology: - It is the application of experimental methods to develop highly controlled observations of processes to create and impact archaeological records.
Archaeometry aims to systematize archaeological measurement by emphasizing application of analytical techniques from physics, chemistry and engineering.
