Question

What are the advantages and the disadvantages of archeology?

Answer 1

hello mate



The advantages of archaeology are many. It can teach us so much about the past. Especially the way the average person lived. We know the history of the great figures, but not nearly as much about how the average person lived. Archaeology can fill in those blanks of history. As the late archeologist, James Deetz said “The past can be seen most fully by studying the small things so often forgotten”.

The disadvantage is that archaeology is a destructive process. When excavating a site the archeologist is essentially destroying it. Sure, large structural remains such as foundations are often left intact, but generally when a site has been excavated, it’s gone forever.
