What is the difference between geologist and archologist?

Answer 1

History is a recoliction of past events and goes into details about what or never happened. Archeology is a form of History which goes into searching for fragments of the past like ancient civilizations.

Answer 2

Anthropology is the study of living people, Archaeology the study of ones who are long dead :) Anthropologist tend to study populations from cultures different from their own, looking at social structures and behaviors. For the Archaeologist this information is out of reach, as they have to rely on what has been preserved in the ground. They will though often draw upon anthropological work to help inform their own research, and suggest how earlier societies may have behaved.

Answer 3

A geologist studies the Earth's physical structure, composition, and processes, including rocks and minerals. An archaeologist studies human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains.

Answer 4

History is recorded to describe events from the recorders point of view.

Archeology is based on unearthed artifacts left behind. Much of answers are supposition and conjecture. Unless some kind of "Rosetta Stone" to translate between ancient languages and modern, it is all someone's best guess. Some things can be proven as fact such as x artifact was mined, created, etc. from materials found in y location for instance, however many times there are curve balls that can be thrown at a archeology theory such as when the iron age began etc.

Answer 5

An archeologist's area of study is the material remains of past humans whereas a geologist's area of study is the earth. For instance an archeologist would study sediments so they could understand how it affected man's life in a given time and place. A geologist would study the sediments so they could understand what type of materials it is made of.

Answer 6

One might describe Archeology as the scientific study of human remains and artifacts while Ethnology could be defined as a science that analyzes and compares human cultures, with respect to social structure, language, religion, and technology; cultural anthropology.

So we may express the difference as Archeology being a study of physical items and Ethnology is an understanding of how humans interacted with one another arrived at by studying archeological findings.

Answer 7

Archeology is the study of the past. Geology is the study of rocks and minerals.

Answer 8

the difference bettween archelogy and Paleontology is that paleontologist study fossiles and archelogist study the human past

Answer 9

A lot!

Geology studies the rocks that make up the Earth and its landscapes, and their development.

Anthropology studies the development of humans.

Answer 10

Geologist is spelt correctly.
