Classical (Historical Archaeology) Classical archaeology is the
archaeological investigation of the great
Mediterranean civilizations of
Ancient Greece and
Ancient Rome. Nineteenth century archaeologists such as
Heinrich Schliemann were drawn to study the societies they had
read about in Latin and Greek texts. Many universities and foreign
nations maintain excavation programs and schools in the area-such is
the enduring appeal of the region's archaeology.

Archaeological History
The exact origins of archaeology as a discipline are
uncertain. Excavations of ancient monuments and the collection of
antiquities have been taking place for thousands of years. The first
tentative step forward towards archaeology as a
science took place during the
Age of Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, in
Europe
in the 17th and 18th centuriesSource:
