Archaeology

(Logic Skill; Science Skill)

The study of cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, remains, and landscapes.

The goals of archaeology are usually perceived as to document and explain the origins and development of culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study sentient behavior and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies.

It includes the ability to identify the purposes of sites, excavation and preservation of material remains, and methods of cataloging and preserving data about the placement and environment said remains are encountered.

Because Zamani is a "gross" rather than deeply defined system of sciences, for ease of play, it includes

basic knowledge of ancient religions, their development and demise, ancient cultures in general, and rudimentary historical information of architecture, tools, sacred geometry and other concepts rather than dividing such into their seperate disciplines as occurs in modern Earth Archaeology.

An Archaeologist should have the skill of Geography and would do well to have the skill of History to supplement their information with more details.
