Archaeology is indeed a science. Archaeologists are those who study ancient history, including the Egyptian pyramids, the early cultures of man, and even before.
When you go to a science museum and view the interesting Native American exhibit, or the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex you have met the bones that were dug up from the science of archaeology.
The broken remnants of clay pots, and even the King Tut exhibit came to us from those members of the science community who dig up old bones, and other fascinating items from our history.
We learn a great deal from archaeologists who dig up unusual remnants of history. I heard recently that some of these scientists found a wooley mamouth who actually froze with food in its stomach. This it a great find as it helps science to find out what kinds of foods were around during those times in Earth's history.
