Also known as culture, archeological culture
group of artifacts associated with a past society
An archaeological culture is a collection of similar artifacts—like pottery, tools, and weapons—that archaeologists find grouped together in a particular time and place, indicating they came from the same past society. By studying these artifact patterns, archaeologists can understand how ancient peoples lived, what they valued, and how different societies were connected or distinct from one another.

An archaeological culture is a recurring assemblage of types of artifacts, buildings, and monuments from a specific period and region that may constitute the material culture remains of a particular past human society. The connection between these types is an empirical observation. Their interpretation in terms of ethnic or political groups is based on archaeologists' understanding. However, this is often subject to long-unresolved debates. The concept of the archaeological culture is fundamental to culture-historical archaeology.
