About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Archaeologists have uncovered several prehistoric burials at a site where American technology multinational Intel is planning to build two semiconductor factories.
The site, located in the Eulenberg industrial area near the central German city of Magdeburg, is home to a "complex" burial landscape from the Neolithic period, or New Stone Age, the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology of Saxony-Anhalt (LDA) said in a press release.
Among the finds, researchers with the LDA have identified two monumental burial mounds that are thought to date to about 6,000 years ago.
They were piled up with earth to form hills that were visible from a distance," Xandra Dalidowski, the excavation manager on site, told German media outlet MDR.
The way that the human and animal remains are arranged creates the image of a driver in a cart or with a plow being pulled by the cattle, according to the archaeologists.
"Our ancestors recreated a scene from their lives here, a team of cattle with the coachman behind them," archaeologist Susanne Friederich told MDR.
