ARCHAEOLOGY AND ARCHOLOGY

ARCHAEOLOGY
Etymology and Definition
From Ancient Greek ἀρχαιολογία (arkhaiologíaantiquarian lore, ancient legends, history), from ἀρχαῖος (arkhaîosprimal, old, ancient) + λόγος (lógosspeech, oration, study). Wikipedia.
Archaeology is a wide subject and definitions can vary, but broadly, it is the study of the culture and history of past peoples and their societies by uncovering and studying their material remains, i.e. tools, ruins, and pottery. Archaeology and history are different subjects but have things in common and constantly work with each other. While historians study books, tablets, and other written information to learn about the past, archaeologists uncover, date, and trace the source of such items, and in their turn focus on learning through material culture. (Ancient History and Encyclopedia, ).
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.


Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. Archaeology as a field is distinct from the discipline of palaeontology, the study of fossil remains. To reiterate, archaeologists do not dig dinosaurs, and tend to find this misconception rather disheartening. Archaeology is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for whom there may be no written records to study. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies across the world. Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time. (Wikipedia).

ARCHOLOGY
Etymology and Definition
(n) Archology ärk-ol′oj-i (rare) doctrine of the origin of things: the science of government.
Greek. archē, beginning, logos, discourse. Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary.
Archology or The Science of Government.
Archon (Gr. ἄρχων, pl. ἄρχοντες) is a Greek word that means "ruler", frequently used as the title of a specific public office. It is the masculine present participle of the verb stem αρχ-, meaning "to rule", derived from the same root as monarch and hierarchy.
In the early literary period of ancient Greece the chief magistrates of various Greek city states were called Archon. The term was also used throughout Greek history in a more general sense, ranging from "club leader" to "master of the tables" at syssitia to "Roman governor". In Roman terms, archontesruled by imperium, whereas Basileis ("Kings") had auctoritas. (Wikipedia). 



ARCHOLOGY 
Government is the whole system of control in any particular case. "Whole" is used in the definition, because there may be predicated of parts that which is not true of the whole. Government is the whole. System signifies all the things under consideration regarded as arranged in some methodical manner. A system of control includes both the controller and the controlled; also the laws and the means of control, together with all else involved in considering the subject. Control signifies either originating, or directing, or restraining, the action of that which is controlled. The clause "in any particular case" limits the word whole to that which is under consideration at the time. (Definition, by S.V. Blakeslee, Oakland, California, A. Roman and Company, Publisher 1876, New York and San Francisco, USA).
