Archeology (or archaeology) is the study of the past by discovering, analyzing, and reconstructing physical findings. Archaeology explores biological remnants (fossils), human artifacts, and environmental findings (C. Zins, 2011).

Rationale
Subdivision.  Archaeology has five main perspectives: global, time, place, ethnicity, and interest.

Civilizations. From the global perspective archaeology is focused on cultural facts significant to all humans across civilizations.

Time-based archaeologies are defined by the time frame (e.g., contemporary archaeology).

Place-based archaeologies are defined by geographical locations (e.g., archaeology of ancient Egypt (part of Egyptology – the study of ancient Egypt)).

Ethnicity-based archaeologies are based on historical and contemporary ethnic divisions, for example, Inca archaeology (the history of the Inca civilization).

Interest-based archaeologies are defined by fields and subjects, for example, biblical archaeology (study of the biblical world), maritime archaeology (study of cultures and findings from the sea), industrial archaeology (study of past industries)
(C. Zins, 2011).
