  Category:Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 World Rivers Review, June 1998
Professor Childs-Johnson, who specializes in Yangzi River archaeology, believes that the piece, sold during the March 1998 International Asian Art Fair, is one of only three fully intact, bronze spirit trees (also known by the more popular variation, "money tree") documented by archaeologists.
Yu Weichao, the director of conservation of cultural relics in the Three Gorges area and the director of Beijing's prestigious National Museum of Chinese History, has since then verified the provenance of the sold piece.
Professor Wang Yucheng at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), Institute of Archaeology, and a colleague of Yu Weichao, confirmed that the spirit tree candelabrum is from a Han Dynasty burial site called Jiangdongzui in Wushan County, an area to be flooded by the Three Gorges dam.

Archeological evidence from the region suggests that Native Americans occupied various areas in what is now Washington, D.C. The lands along the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, Rock Creek and Tiber Creek, and the many tributaries that ran through the Washington, D.C., area offered game animals and fish, a variety of plant foods, and lithic resources.
The early archaeology of Washington, D.C., done by William Henry Holmes, S. Proudfit, and others, reveals a number of village, camp, and quarry sites within the present boundaries of the city (Figure 4).
Quarry sites are mainly located along Rock Creek, Piney Branch, and Broad Branch (Figure 5).
