Christian Archaeology

Japanese: キリスト教考古学 - きりすときょうこうこがく
Christian Archaeology

Archaeology is a field of study that seeks to shed light on Christian culture through relics and ruins. It can be from either the Middle Ages or modern times, but since its founder, Italian GB Rossi (1822-94), the field has focused on ancient times. Research and investigation is most active in Italy, which has many catacombs and other sites, and the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology, Commissione Pontificia di Archeologia Sacra (established in 1851), is based in Rome and plays a central role in research in this field.
