Hello student,
Archeologists excavate the ancient sites related with culture or civilisation. They find out remains from the site such as seal, material remains of houses, buildings, pots, ornaments, tools, coins, weights, measurements and toys etc.

Zooarchaeologists see if the animals were domesticated by studying the animal bones and remains . For example animal bones found at HARAPPA include goat , pig , cow , sheep and buffalo. This indicates that the HARRPAN people knew about these animals .
The representations of seals and teracotta indicate that the bull was known and archaeologists extrapolate that the oxen was used for ploughing.
If you want to go for Archaeology I would always recommend you to go for the BA(Hons.) course in History. This course will give you in depth knowledge of the field of History which will laterwards help you coup up with the Archeology courses.
BA History is a generalized course which will be not that depth as compared to that of BA History Hons.
