Archaeology was the scientific discipline of excavating, studying and learning from the past.
When the Second Doctor was on Telos he was referred to as an archaeologist. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) The Fifth Doctor's companion Peri Brown had at least a passing interest in archaeology. (TV: Planet of Fire) Another companion, Bernice Summerfield, was by trade an archaeologist before she met the Seventh Doctor, and had a supposed degree qualifying her as a professor in it, though not an official one. (PROSE: Love and War) Bernice specialised in archaeological studies after they parted. [source needed] River Song held a doctorate on the subject from the Luna University. (TV: Closing Time) She eventually became a professor after knowledge of the Doctor, the person she supposedly murdered, was removed from most of the databases throughout time and space. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) The Tenth Doctor said, "I'm a time traveller. I point and laugh at archaeologists!" (TV: Silence in the Library) The Eleventh Doctor implied that people intent on finding him pursued the discipline of archaeology. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
