Explanation and Etymology - (考古学) koukogaku
考古学 is a Japanese word that means "archaeology". It is composed of the kanji 考 (kou), which means "to think" or "to consider", 古 (ko), which means "ancient" or "old", and 学 (gaku), which means "study" or "science". The etymology of the word dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan began to modernize and adopt Western terms to designate areas of study. The word 考古学 was created by combining Chinese kanji that represent the idea of "study of the ancients" or "study of antiquity". Since then, archaeology has been an important discipline in Japan, with many discoveries and research being conducted throughout the country.How to Write in Japanese - (考古学) koukogaku
