What is the main discipline of archaeology? Why is there no cultural relic identification? What about the museum department? I remember this department in Peking University.

Archaeology is a science that studies ancient human material and cultural remains, restores human history and reveals the law of human historical development.

The biggest difference between it and history is that history pays attention to the study of documents and materials, while archaeology pays attention to the study of physical materials. The difference between archaeology and cultural relics is that cultural relics focus on the value of cultural relics, that is, the appreciation of cultural relics, while archaeology focuses on studying history through cultural relics, that is, extracting historical information from cultural relics to study history. Archaeology is not equal to appreciation.

The basic courses of archaeology include: Introduction to Archaeology, General Theory, Paleolithic Archaeology, Neolithic Archaeology, Qin and Han Archaeology, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties Archaeology, Sui and Tang Archaeology and Song, Yuan and Ming Archaeology. There are also field archaeology, introduction to cultural relics, ancient philology, ancient Chinese, ancient history of China, world history, foreign archaeology, cultural geography, introduction to scientific and technological archaeology, and introduction to cultural relics protection. Some schools offer some courses with regional characteristics according to the actual situation, such as the western national archaeology of Northwest University and the prehistoric archaeology of Northwest China. Oriental Archaeology of Shandong University; Frontier archaeology of Jilin University, etc. There are too many things to learn in archaeology. I have learned it, and I will never finish it in my life. There are always nerve-racking new discoveries.
