description

Archeology, by being a science, has its own research problems. It tries to analyze them using an appropriate methodology. Archeology deals with discovering the human past, likewise the environment, where people live, work and die. We cannot say also, that this is a science, which discovers only objects, that are used by people, while it discovers also an archaeological context, i.e. the place where those objects had been deposited. At each archeological site researcher has to consider an area under the prism of three landscapes: the first one is a natural landscape, the second is settlement one, and the third is ceremonial one. The last landscape is associated mostly with the least studied scientific area – rituals. The sphere of rituals is the most difficult for making interpretations, but it is the most attractive scientifically sphere at the same time. Thus, it is extremely important to conduct a field studies in a proper and thoughtful manner. Many years of field studies’ experience allowed to produce such scientific processes, that could facilitate the research.
