Nomen archaeologiae a vocabulisGraecisἀρχαῖος 'antiquus' et λόγος 'studium' deducitur.
Saepe labor archaeologicus est per agros ambulare, fictilia colligendi causa. Archaeologi hunc modum prospectionem vocant. Prospectio archaeologica ita est modus agrorum et montium recensendorum et indiciorum archaeologicorum colendorum. In prospectione ambulanti per agrum, archaeologi in singulam lineam ambulant, in spatiis aequis dispersi. Tandem in charta agri inventa collocant. Postea, res collectae in laboratoriis explicantur. Saepe ante ambulationem, archaeologi studium de regione faciunt in libris antiquis aut incolis inquaerens.
Adsunt aliae rationes prospectionis praeter ambulationem. Photographia aerea est studium imaginum locorum, ut monumenta aut relicta monumentorum ab aere videri possint. Quoque adsunt rationes prospectionis per geophysicam.
Saepe prospectio est studium praevium fossionis.
Adsunt rationes permultae, per quas possibile est aetatem accurate rerum aut obiectorum investigare. Praeclarae rationes declinationis atomorumradiactivorum in usu sunt.
Carbonium 14 est ratio ad calculandam aetatem rerum archaeologicarum, solum si rebus insunt materiae substantiae organicae. Inventa est haec ratio anno 1949, a W. F. Libby.
