Here's why:
* Archaeology is the study of past human societies and their cultures through the analysis of material remains, such as artifacts, buildings, and landscapes. This includes studying prehistoric cultures, which existed before the invention of writing.
* Prehistoric archaeology specifically focuses on the period before the advent of writing, which varies depending on the region of the world.
* Archaeologists use a variety of methods to study prehistoric cultures, including excavation, analysis of artifacts, and the use of scientific techniques such as radiocarbon dating.
While other disciplines like anthropology and history also contribute to understanding prehistoric cultures, archaeology is the primary scientific field dedicated to its study.
