Definitions and quotes

Archaeology
Archaeology, or archeology, is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. In North America, archaeology is considered a sub-field of anthropology, while in Europe archaeology is often viewed as either a discipline in its own right or a sub-field of other disciplines.
Politics
Politics (from Greek: πολιτικά, translit. Politiká, meaning "affairs of the cities") is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group.
Politics
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle, Politics, chapter 2 (Bekker I.1253a2).
Politics
Who, born for the universe, narrow'd his mind,
And to party gave up what was meant for mankind.
Oliver Goldsmith, Retaliation (1774), line 31.
Archaeology
Archaeology is the nearest history comes to shopping.
