Is archaeology a science or a humanity?

Question

And why do you say so?

Answer 1

Archaeology is more of a science than a humanity, but the fact is that it really tries for a more holistic approach. More of a science, but has elements of both.

Answer 2

No, it is a branch of anthropology, which is a social science.

There is almost a dichotomy between science and social science.

Answer 3

Archaeology incorporates many different areas within Science and Humanity. It is also environmental, marine-based, anthropological, part of cultural resource management and geological.

But most of all it is our lifeline to times past.

Answer 4

science

Answer 5

Archeology is a science studing ancient cultures through the excavation  and analysis of physical remains while humanity means the whole human race, all human beings taken together collectively, as one whole. These words have different notions and can't be mixed. They are not synonyms. I thnk, you'd like to express something with another meaning or just have been in a hurry while your typing. It really happens sometimes. Smile. It's OK. Just try it again next time with more thinking.
