The term for the study of ancient artifacts and civilizations is "archaeology." This discipline encompasses the systematic investigation of physical remains, including tools, structures, and other artifacts left behind by past societies. Archaeologists employ various methods, including excavation and analysis of historical documents, to reconstruct the lives and cultures of ancient peoples. The findings from archaeological studies provide insights into human history, development, and the evolution of civilizations. This field not only contributes to our understanding of the past but also informs our awareness of cultural heritage and the importance of preserving historical sites.
