What is interpretative archaeology?
Interpretative archaeology is one of the latest trends regarding Archaeological Theory (i.e. the way we view archaeological data, the methodology and theoretical background that affects our explanations and understanding... anyway it's complicated). Interpretativearchaeology is also known as Post-processual archaeology (i.e. Postmodern) but some might tend to separate them although boundaries between the two are vague. It is a trend that is "against" (actually) but also complementary to (as many leading archaeologists argue) to the previous trend, known as processual archaeology. It appeared in the late 80s - early 90s.
How can archaeological and palaeontology findings of human evolution prove the out of Africa theory of human migration?
Archaeology is the study of 'human activity' and palaeontology is the study of 'fossils'. Meaning that whenever someone found bones/fossils, palaeontology has helped use DNA to find how long the bones/fossils have been there for. Archaeology has helped prove what palaeontology found out.
What are Archaeological Sources?
Archaeological sources are the primary fact or evidence supporting a theory or belief.A source could be written testimony of an event, occasion or ceremony, recorded at the same time (for example carvings on the wall of a tomb, the Bayeux Tapestry etc).A source can be physical collected evidence that can be scientifically validated, such a bones which can be carbon dated.A secondary source would be a second hand account of an event, while these are still considered valuable (especially if there are a number of independent ones that can corroborate an event) they are always open to interpretation. A classic example of this is The Iliad, by Homer, which recorded second hand accounts of the Trojan War and wove them into a story.In modern history it could be a photo, film, recording or even an interview.
Which people where one of the first to invade Rome and rule for 100 years?
According to the fashionable theory, in this period Rome was conquered by the Etruscans. However, this is just that, a theory. It has been challenged. Its evidence base is flimsy, to say the least.

Facts lending support to the Aryan Invasion Theory?
There is no actual proof to support the Aryan Invasion Theory. It was a weakly-invented story created by the British when they went to conquer India. The reason for the creation of this theory was to make the native peoples believe that they were inferior and had to succumb to the British. According to the theory, the Aryans came from an area north of India. Recent archaeological activity and many scientific studies have proven that this theory is false, so don't just take it from me.
Did the Etruscans conquer Rome?

What if the etruscans destroyed rome before they became an empire?

If your question has been prompted by the theory that the Etruscans conquered Rome, note that is just a theory. Unfortunately it has often been put as a historical fact, rather than a hypothesis.

Did slaves build Stonehenge?
No-one knows for certain, but the most recent theory is that Stonehenge is a monument to the dead and that the people who built it actually wanted to build it and be part of the process in making a treasured monument. The most recent archaeological dig didn't find anything to indicate slaves built Stonehenge. However the 'most recent theory; is simply wrong, the Structure that everyone understands as Stonehenge wasn't even built at the time cremations were being casually inserted into the ditch and Aubrey holes of the earlier phase.
