  Archaeology
Archaeology is a historical science aimed at the discovery and understanding of past human behaviour through the study of material remains.
As a result, archaeology is able to investigate not only the recent past and subjects to some degree already documented, but also epochs beyond the reach of memory and before the spread of writing.
In the West, undergraduate and MA archaeology programs were established at the universities of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and to the PhD level at the universities of Alberta and British Columbia.

The books identify it as ancient and say that the five rings "later adopted as the symbol of the modern Olympics" create "a link between the ancient and modern Olympics" and are "considered by experts to be 3,000 years old." More nonsense.
The five rings were invented in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, president of the International Olympic Committee.
There had been five modern Olympiads by that time, and Coubertin's writings suggest each ring was intended to represent a completed Olympiad, the first five host countries united in "Olympism" and peace.

Whatever the reasons, metal mining history was left to develop randomly from the essentially peripheral interests of antiquarians, local historians, geologists and other non-specialists.
among these groups around the mid-century, it gradually emerged into what could best be described as a specialist branch of industrial archaeology in the 1960s and 70s.
Little now appears in the local transactions, general industrial archaeology literature or even other subject journals.
