Archaeology is a field of study that explores the history of past cultures by analyzing historical relics. Students learn excavation techniques, methods for documenting finds, and computer-aided analysis. A degree program in archaeology covers different eras and allows students to choose specializations such as medieval archaeology. Graduates often work in research institutions, at museums, or other cultural institutions.
