Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. It is the primary field for gathering information about past societies that did not have written records. Cultural geography studies the distribution and interaction of human culture on the Earth's surface, but would not necessarily provide historical data about past societies. History relies on written records, which are not available for some past societies. Ornithology is the study of birds and would have no relevance to the task of furnishing historical data about past societies.
