The architecture contributions of Greeks are:
The construction of state and public buildings, stadiums, Temples, theaters, statues, ships, etc...
The style of Minoan, Mycenae, Dorian, Ionian and the Corinthian columnes and buildings.
Five of the seven Wonders of the ancient world were Greek monuments
- The Temple of Artemis at Ephessus,
- The Statue of Zeus at Olympia,
- The Mausoleum of Maussollus at Alikarnasus,
- The Colossus of Rhodes and
- The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
The Acropolis of Athens and the Parthenon
Among other constructions, the Parthenon.
They also contributed two important concepts in architecture. One was anthropomorphism, which is the idea that architecture should be properly porportioned to people (aside from monumental or religious architecture). A second important concept was the idea of perspective. In large temples, for example, such as the Parthenon, the Greeks recognized that if the columns were perfectly cylindrical, it would cause the columns across the front to appear as though they pointed inward toward the top. To counteract this visual effect, columns were built so that the tops are slightly smaller than the bases, making them appear vertical to an outside observer.
The Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns are the most famous examples of Greek architecture adopted around the world.
Greece is also known for its stadiums and mosaics. Mosaics are incorporated into designs on walls, floors, and sometimes ceilings of modern buildings.
After copying styles from principally Egypt they developed within a century from wood to stone. They worked out how to establish stable foundations,and learnt such things as sloping the outside columns slightly inwars so that they looked vertical, used lead around the iron pins to stop rusting iron expanding and splitting the cross beams, established stable roofs, and introduced facades which enhanced the structures.
And they painted them in brilliant colours, which we seem to have forgotten in our replicas of today.

Obelisk
Structures like Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower are usually considered as architecture, although I would classify Stonehenge as more of an engineering feat.
They do the carbon 14 dating of objects, bones, and other items.
Chemical analysys of old artefacts contribute to the dating in archaeology.
A folly in architecture was common in England in the 18th century. It is a constructed formation used as a conversation piece at an event to show recognition to a person.
