The structured approach of the field archaeologically provides archaeologists with raw data for their research: artifacts, structures, and environmental evidence. All of those structures are the backbone for the interpretation of their findings.

This specific field of archaeology ties into the general subject because it allows researchers to put the pieces together of ancient societies – understanding their daily lives, tracing developments, and understanding significant sites. One of the countries where field archaeology has made great achievements is Israel.

Over the years, archaeologists have uncovered more than 14,000 ancient sites, including the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran in 1948 and the discovery of the Tel Dan Stele in 1993. These discoveries allow archaeologists to understand the ancient history of Israel and other regions.
