what are different branches of archeology
Answers
Answer:
I guess we may divide archaeology into different fields by time periods, methods of research, and so on.
Prehistory, Protohistory (mainly for Europe), and Classical archaeology are the fields designated by time periods each focuses on. There are also Medieval and Hostorical fields of archaeology.
Based on the research methods, some fields of archaeology are as follows. Geoarchaeology studies the geomorphological and geological aspects at and near archaeological sites. Archaeometry focuses on measuring the chemical and physical structures of archaeological finds. Paleoanthropology combines methods of physical anthropology and archaeology to study human evolution. Zooarchaeology studies the animal remains at archaeological sites. Paleobotany is the study of plant remains at sites. Anthrocology studies the remains of wood, which are typicaly charred. This is only a very short list.
Then, there are fields of archaeology based on theoretical frameworks applied. Social archaeology (Social theory), Agency (Agency theory), Household archaeology (the role of households, ordinary people in cultural change), Processual vs. Post-Processual archaeology (more akin to methodological differences and research questions emphasized in research).
