Why Archeological Resources important to us?

Answer 1

In addition to what has been said, archaeology is unique in that it gives time depth to the study of what it is to be human.  Written texts and oral traditions can give a glimpse into our history, but only archaeology is able to get a fuller story and go back further in time.

Answer 2

Very useful to understand great civilisations of the past...

to learn about the old knowledge of our predecessors...

to make acquaintance with languages and culture never understood before...

to discover a different kind of art, and economics....

Answer 3

Archaeology is important for the same reasons and more that history is important.  We can learn lessons from the unwritten chapters of human history.  Also, we get a more complete story from archaeology at times because archaeology isn't just one person's belief or bias (not usually anyway).  It is based on physical evidence.  Battle of the Little Bighorn is a good example of this.

Sometimes, we can learn about survival or why certain diseases or birth defects were prevelant in past cultures.  Therefore we learn what to avoid or how to better handle or recognize signs of trouble when they come up.

These are just a couple of reasons archeaology is important.

Answer 4

Knowing where we have been helps us to understand where we are going.

By studying past civilisations we can learn from them. We can understand what they did that lead to success, and we can learn why sometimes other civilisations failed. The hope is that by understanding these things we can stop ourselves from making the same mistakes again.
