Archaeology and Anthropology

From my history class, I learned about archaeology and anthropology. Archaeology is the recovery and the study of physical evidence from the past, and anthropology is the study of humans and human cultures. They both are really important to history because archaeology and anthropology are ways of gathering informations from the past. Also, by gathering new informations, historians can make new deductions about the past civilizations.
