All history is written by people, and all history contains some biases, sometimes unconsciously recorded. The archaeology of the middle east from the time of the bible is called biblical archaeology, and the study of the time of the pharaohs in egypt is called egyptology. In europe, post-roman archaeology, that dating between the fifth and fifteenth centuries, is called medieval archaeology, all materials dating between the fifteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries in europe are considered post-medieval. Today, most of the archaeology conducted around the world is related to the preservation and management of archaeological resources, a field known as cultural resource management (crm) and sometimes called heritage resource management.
