• River terraceRelated: Terrace surfaces can preserve archaeological sites above active floodplains.

• Rock artNarrower topic: Archaeologists use rock art alongside artifacts, landscapes, and dating evidence.

• ArchaeoastronomyNarrower topic: Archaeoastronomy relies on archaeological context to interpret the human significance of celestial evidence.

• Evolutionary anthropologyCompared with: Material evidence complements biological data but often answers different questions about human history.

• Funerary artNarrower topic: Tombs and grave goods provide archaeological evidence about belief, craft, and social life.
