Archaeology or archaeology is the study of the material remains of past human life and activities. Archaeological record consists of artefacts, architecture, bio facts or Eco facts and cultural landscapes. Archaeological investigations are a primary source of knowledge of prehistoric, ancient, and extinct culture. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. One of the major acquirements of 19^th century archaeology was the development of stratigraphy. One of the first sites to undergo archaeological excavation was Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments (structures made of such large stones) in England.
