Archaeology is the study, analysis, and storage of human remains such as skeletons, tools, artifacts, plant remains, and sediments in order to reconstruct human history and culture.  Its subjects include much more than societies and cultures, ranging from the exploration of human origins and early hunter-gatherer communities, to the ancient environments, arts and cultural practices
