Relating to archaeology or the study of ancient human cultures and civilizations through their physical remains.
From Greek 'archaeo-' (ancient) + 'logia' (study) + '-ic' (adjective suffix). This adjective form has been in use since the 18th century, though 'archaeological' is now far more common.
While 'archaeologic' sounds more formal and old-fashioned, both forms mean the same thing—but scientists still occasionally use 'archaeologic' in specialized journal articles because it sounds more technical and precise.
