Archaeology
is the study of the human past through material remains; to order
and describe the events of the past and explain their meaning. The
purpose is to learn how people lived during a particular period in
time. The human past can be
studied in many ways. Archaeologists use cultural remains such as
stone tools, pottery fragments and food debris, as well as environmental
evidence to reconstruct history. Much modern archaeology is concerned
with the nature of past societies and how they change - with questions
related to past economies, social organisation, and relationships
with the environment. While the discipline of archaeology includes
a wide range of interests and specialisations, archaeologists often
concentrate on a limited field, such as the study of bones (animal
or human) stone tools or pottery, or confine themselves to a particular
area of the world. In India, there are quite
a few sites that speak volumes of the ancient Indian culture. Kalibangan,
the ancient site of Indus Valley Civilization, is a treasure trove
of archaeological findings. Udaygiri in south central Orissa, has
several Jain and Buddhist rock cut caves and Khajuraho, the historical
town and a famous tourist attraction is famous for its sculpted temples
of Shiva. Institutes of Archaeology
