  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.

In 1975 excavations included test surveys and rescue excavations prior to new museum construction, revealing evidence of French occupation as well as of the glacis of the British fort.
When the State acquired Crown Point in 1910, the donor of the property required the ruins to be protected "from spoliation" and preserved in their present condition "for all time." Recent excavations in the barracks have since enabled a comparison of the architectural dimensions of military status.
