alchaeology 

(noun) The study of ancient cocktail recipes and search for lost libations. A combination of alcohol & archaeology.

Anyone can read the label on a bottle of American bourbon or Scotch whisky to know the difference, but in alchaeology we seek to divine secrets such as the original Maryland rye.

Facebook Archaeology 

To dig up old facebook posts by liking or commenting, flooding people's facebook spaces with posts and statuses from five years ago or older. This practice is most successful when done to posts made before facebook likes were implemented, staking the archaeologists' claim.

"Oh man, my wall is filled with embarrassing prom photos. Looks like someone did some facebook archaeology last night."

urban archeology 

The act of digging through one's garage, storage, closets, etc in search of lost artifacts and or in the process of reducing the amount of 'stuff' collected over the years.

1. We're getting ready to move, so we're going to storage to do a little urban archeology.

2. I ran into Cynthia and had to do a little urban archeology to find her phone number.

1. (What archaeology should be) You've started your archaeology course. It's the first day, you have your hat, whip and designer stuble and are ready to go and kick ass. Everything is exciting, there are always nazi scum to shoot, imprisoned children to free and artefact s to "rescue". If you are an archaeologist you can also get laid easily.

2. What archaeology is :( . You're there, on your uni course, let's say in Exeter for example. Pen in hand. Peering around the lecture theatre at various other odd looking characters that look like they should never have been allowed to leave wales , sommerset or whatever random back country they escaped from. There's hours of looking at dendrochronology, pollen diagrams, and geophysical bull shit. (That's not the good kind of pollen either :( ) Archaeology causes insanity, a strong accent and excitement over broken ceramics .

Avoid at all costs. Unless you are already displaying archaeology symptoms, then you may well enjoy.

*queue theme music* Look at him killing all those nazi's! He must have done archaeology!

This week you will be looking at carbonised grain and what it can tell us about past cultures and how they farmed.

archaeologist 

Someone who gets paid to dig through dead people's garbage.

Archaeologists love excavating trash middens and looking at layers of dirt.
