Archaeology is a magical gateway to the past. It is the discipline that complements History best with its
hard evidences and methodological advantages
The discipline of archaeology studies human cultures and past. The students with their robust
foundation learn to interpret various priciples of Archaeology.Through recovery and interpretation of
architectures, artefacts, bio facts, and landscapes, archaeology seeks to a) determine the chronology of
human development, b) unearth the cultural history of various human settlements, c) and substantiate or
fill the lacunae of history with material evidence, and d) understand the processes that underlie the
changes taken place in human societies across cultures. The role of archaeology here becomes crucial.
Archaeology can develop basic aptitude immensely by revealing cultural ways and artefacts that can help
in identification of historical incorrect views and understandings. Archaeology therefore becomes
necessary to forge points of unity and points of diversity in varied cultures and civilizations. Finally the
student of Archaeology will be able to amalgamate in discovering not only the ‘other’ but also
rediscovering our own selves.
