It is interesting to note therein that 'Archaeology' and 'Epigraphy' have been distinguished, stating :

"Strictly speaking, archaeology is not concerned with the analysis and interpretation of the bones of ancient man himself  whether fossilized or not. The study of the skulls and skeletons of ancient man is the concern of the physical anthropologist or human paleontologist. Neither is the archaeologist normally prepared to decipher or interpret the writings of ancient man  this is the specialty of the epigraphist and philologist."
