Indus valley civilization tyba
The Indus Valley Civilization was discovered in 1921 in modern-day Pakistan and northwest India. It consisted of over 1,500 sites spread across 1.3 million square kilometers, including major cities like Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro, and Lothal. The civilization demonstrates sophisticated urban planning and infrastructure, including standardized bricks, streets, drainage systems, and water supply. Residents practiced agriculture and domesticated animals, and engaged in regional trade of materials, shells, and other goods. Though the script remains undeciphered, the civilization likely had its own religious beliefs and language. It declined around 1500 BCE possibly due to environmental changes like floods. Recent excavations continue adding to understanding of the advanced Bronze Age

Exploration Method’s in Archaeological Studies & Research
The principal concern of any archaeological fieldwork is to acquire new information within the context of a well-designed program of research. This program of research today ranges from goal-specific one day fieldwork to long term ventures covering many field seasons. In the field, one of the main concern of the archaeologist is the study of artifacts and features. Artifacts are the objects made or used or modified by the man such as stone tools, pottery and metal objects. A site is selected on the basis of combination of several factors, such as the period of the site, the length of the occupation, the importance of the structures and the site uniqueness in the area.
Further, the archaeological site is selected to address specific goal or goals.
The goal covers in terms of time, space, subject matter and approach.
The research is tailored made to solve specific problem(s).

Archaeology sources and materials
Archaeology is the scientific study of past human societies through excavating physical evidence. An archaeologist's site is chosen based on artifacts or history found on the surface or from sources. A unit is a square area an archaeologist chooses to dig within. Setting up a 2x2 unit involves measuring sides that are 200 cm and calculating the hypotenuse. Tools used include shovels, trowels, measuring tapes, and brushes. First the plow zone to 25 cm below the surface is removed, keeping an eye out for artifacts. Below this, changes in soil color indicate features that may contain more artifacts. Careful excavation of 5 cm levels allows examination of each soil layer.
New Archaeology/Processual Archaeology
New Archaeology emerged in the 1950s-60s as a reaction against traditional descriptive archaeology. It aimed to use archaeological data to understand cultural processes and human behavior, particularly the causes of cultural change. The goals of archaeology became understanding past human societies and answering anthropological questions. New Archaeology introduced new theoretical paradigms, methods, and observations but remained a work in progress. It sought to explain the underlying historical processes behind cultural change and shed light on past human ecology, technology, economics, and social organization.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
