Read the text.Archaeology is the study of human culture through the examination of physical objects. These items may be anything humans created or used in the past.The materials archaeologists study fall into two categories: features and artifacts. Some well-known features include the Egyptian pyramids, the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the sunken ship Titanic. Movable objects like tools, human bones, handcrafts, and clothing are examples of artifacts.Archaeologists might study a New York building constructed in the 1920s, or they might examine camp bedding left in a South African cave more than two hundred thousand years ago. Archaeologists hope objects like these will provide clues about past human cultures.Which author's purpose is suggested by the text?

Read the following passage and answer the questions:Archaeology is partly the discovery of treasures of the past, partly the work of the scientific analyst, partly the exercise of the creative imagination. It is toiling in the sun on an excavation in the Middle East, it is working with living Inuit in the snows of Alaska, and it is investigating the sewers of Roman Britain. But it is also the painstaking task of interpretation so that we come to understand what these things mean for the human story. And it is the conservation of the world’s cultural heritage against looting and careless harm. Archaeology, then, is both a physical activity out in the field, and an intellectual pursuit in the study or laboratory. That is part of its great attraction. Which statement is correct?Archaeology involves creativity as well as investigative work.Archaeology is more common in the Middle East, Alaska, and  Britain.Archaeology excludes the conservation of the world’s cultural heritage.Archaeology is attractive because it’s a physical activity.قبلی
