Archaeology is the study of ancient societies by examining what remains of their buildings, graves, tools, and other things they left in the ground or in old buildings. It is a subject name, like biology or history: you study archaeology, or you go on a dig; you do not “do an archaeology” for one small task. Though actually, the edge can feel soft — very early humans sit near both archaeology and the study of human origins — but in school English the core is still people and what they made, not dinosaurs. People also stretch it: “the archaeology of the internet” means digging into that past, not using a trowel. British spelling keeps ae; American English often . In Taiwan both spellings show up; school books often keep the British form.

The study of the past by excavation and analysis of its material remains.
- ^({1}) He first presented a complementary thesis on the Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), in which he used the term “archaeology” for the first time, and which indicated the period of history to which he was constantly to return. ^({2}) The latent grid of knowledge which organizes every scientific discourse and defines what can or cannot be thought scientifically — the process of uncovering these levels Foucault calls 'archaeology'. ^({3}) “Archaeology”, as the investigation of that which renders necessary a certain form of thought, implies an excavation of unconsciously organized sediments of thought. Unlike a history of ideas, it doesn’t assume that knowledge accumulates towards any historical conclusion. Archaeology ignores individuals and their histories. It prefers to excavate impersonal structures of knowledge. Archaeology is a task that doesn’t consist of treating discourse as signs referring to a real content like madness. It treats discourses, such as medicine, as practices that form the objects of which they speak.
