Correspondencia entre el español y el inglés de la terminología de investigación arqueológica, análisis de artefactos, metodología, y términos comunes usados en el campo de la arqueología.
La investigación arqueológica ha estado relacionada fundamentalmente a la Prehistoria y a la Antigüedad; sin embargo, durante las últimas décadas la metodología arqueológica se ha aplicado a etapas más recientes, como la Edad Media (arqueología medieval), la Edad Moderna (arqueología postmedieval) o el periodo industrial. En la actualidad, los arqueólogos dedican ocasionalmente su atención a materiales actuales, investigan residuos urbanos, con lo que está naciendo la denominada arqueología industrial.
