三. 具体内容：
Archaeology is the science of people and societies from the past. It examines what is left over from ancient times, in the form of artifacts such as bones, tools, buildings or even simply traces of human occupation and presence. Its relation to history is that history covers the time when ancient people had already invented the written language, and left written records. Archaeology is now usually seen to investigate all remains that are dug up. Both archaeology and history are branches of the wider studies of anthropology.
