The Experiment and the Emergence of the Prehistoric Knowledge in Archaeology

The emergence of knowledge is believed firstly started with the transition to agricultural civilization. People's moving from hunter-gathering into sedentary occupation has changed their way of life and, accordingly, the origins of scientific knowledge have gradually emerged. Human values and pleasures have changed from culture to culture, from time to time and from person to person and mankind has developed technology to meet the needs that it perceives as its own, not the basic necessities that nature has enacted. Therefore, there is widespread agreement that the Prehistoric knowledge is based entirely on experiment. With the development of society, natural phenomena have begun to be examined in more detailed and thus a solid knowledge accumulation has emerged. The undeniable fact is that today, all levels of cultural development in the world have been made possible by the achievements of experimental knowledge. In this research paper, the importance of today's archaeological knowledge was studied as the source of scientific knowledge that had been possessed by ancient societies through the practical skills.
