What scientific methods are used in archaeology?
Archeology uses methods from many scientific branches and many fields of study, such as sociology, anthropology, forensics, history, geology, and natural science. For example, sociology helps to map the social constructs within an ancient society. Forensics and anthropology can help to date bones, identify the sex of a skeleton, and identify the cause of death especially if death was due to trauma. Geology is important to identify age of a site using deposits of soil.
How much time does an archaeology cover?
Archaeology is a sub-discipline of Anthropology which is a science/art concerned with the study of humanity.

What is the difference between Anthropology and history?
Anthropology is a social science and by definition, studies the origins and social relationships between human beings. They ask questions such as, What defines us humans? How do we behave? Anthropology has four subfields which include, cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology and lastly biological anthropology. History is a branch of a liberal arts degree which studies every aspect of history as a whole and is a career which is much broader than anthropology in general. History discusses dates in time as well as human civilizations. History also deals with theories and speculation similar to many other science based degrees. Both anthropology and history do cross lines with each-other from time to time. This is the case with many degrees including paleontology and archaeology which all delve into the histories of our culture and world.
