Archaeology or archæology or sometimes in American English archeology (from the Greek words αρχαίος = ancient and λόγος = word/speech/discourse) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of cultural and environmental data, including architecture, artefacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, culture history, cultural evolution, and human behaviour and ecology.
It is the only discipline that possesses the method and theory for the collection and interpretation of information about the pre-written human past, and can also make a critical contribution to our understanding of documented societies.

 Hothouse Archaeology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The probate was carried out by Uniacke’s sons on November 17 and 18, 1830, and is invaluable because it lists all of the buildings on the estate in 1830, the only evidence of the original estate lay-out.
The 1992 archaeology confirmed the site to be that of the "Upper Hot House" and indicated that it was an original feature of the estate operating up to, but not long after, Uniacke's death in 1830.
Prior to the 1992 archaeology, the exposed foundation was thought to represent the complete hothouse structure; however, as the excavation progressed and historical sources were consulted, it was increasingly clear that the building was much larger than anticipated.

His probated will of 1830 was invaluable as it listed the contents of the hothouse upon his death which could then be compared to the artifacts found during the 1992 excavations.
The 1830 inventory and the present contents of the house provide a sample with which to compare artifacts recovered during archaeological excavation.
These complemetary sources give a much better idea of what the house contained in 1830 than if they were considered on their own.

The course covers the development of concepts and methods in prehistoric archaeology, from their roots in the Renaissance to the present, primarily concentrating on the English-speaking world with some attention to France.
Lectures emphasize links between ideas and methods in archaeology and their social and historical contexts, asking how archaeology and the past that archaeology studies was and is constructed.
Their book, Method and Theory in American Archaeology, was largely an attempt to systematize and give common meanings to terms describing the recurrent patterning of artifacts in space and time, which up to then had been inconsistently used by Americanists throughout the U.S. and elsewhere.
