Question

The Greek root ology means “the study of.” The suffix -ist means “one who studies or practices something.” Using those definitions and context clues, define archaeologist. Archaeologists have dug up a stone that was used for iron-working, hundreds of miles away from the only other known Viking site in North America.

Answer 1

Greek and Latin root words Archa and Archae mean ancient or from the beginning. Therefore, an archeologist is someone who studies artifacts or other physical findings from ancient civilizations.
