Introduction

Archaeology is an academic discipline that studies the companies prehistoric and its changes through material that remains distributed in space and contained in the time. Thus, the traditional view defines archaeology as “an auxiliary science of history, archeology deals with the prehistory and material documents that complemented those periods not sufficiently illuminated by the written sources.” The archeology is the science that studies the civilizations and cultures of the human past, and their relationships with their surroundings, by collecting, documents and analyzing the material traces that they have left such as, architecture, artifacts, etc (Greene, 2010). The archeology is the branch of anthropology (Anthropology); a study of the human race and the intellectual and tangible heritage. According to archaeologists in Europe that their work got closely related to the field of history, archeology is that different from the science of history, on the one hand, that historians studying the march of peoples on the basis of written records.

Today, archeology got considered as an autonomous social science. Its primary objective is the study of changes in social organization and the diversity of human behavior in the past. This achieved through the study of material, which remains in defined spatial and temporal contexts. It is for this reason that archeology has, first, an interest in providing a clear temporal sequence that got divided into periods. Second, archeology focuses on specific spatial frames such as regions or political units, sub-regions and communities, and local areas-sites or households and their associated debris (Kelly, 2012). Unlike history, deep temporal sequences and the diversity of spaces provide a variety of complementary scales of analysis, unique features that allow you to rebuild, and give explanations of social change and diversity of human, social organization.
