1. the
study of the
past as interpreted by
bits and pieces of pottery, beads, skulls, graves, ancient structures. From these the
type of civilization and custom is figured out. Anybody with a
past life can figure out a
lot from "a bit of pottery."
(OODs 21 Mar 69) 2. my
definition of it: archeology is the
art of reconstructing the
past by finding material
bits of it and
figuring out the rest from that small
evidence.
