Author(s): Lucky Bark
Abstract: This scholarly work entitled; The Validity, Relevance and Impact of Archaeological And Historical Studies on Human Existence has been carried out to examine the central focus of the two inter-related disciplines, namely; Archaeology and History, their significance and impact on Human existence and society. In the course of conducting the study a very good number of published and unpublished sources have been interacted with. The study highlights how relevant, parasitical in nature, interwoven, indispensable and equally crucial the disciplines being reviewed herein are to human existence and society. However, it is against this backdrop the study intends to point out that these disciplines are objective, humanistic and all about the totality of human existence overtime in accordance with action/activities conducted, being conducted and to be conducted, in other words, means the past, present and the future. Furtherto the above, the study also argues that both the two disciplines greatly contribute to the intellectual development of other academic disciplines whether directly or indirectly. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that Archaeology and History to some extent are part and parcel of Arts and Sciences. Furthermore, fundamental reasons and concrete evidences regarding why these two disciplines are worth studying have been drawn into light. In view of this, the study seeks to justify the rationality behind the study of these disciplines under consideration and how they greatly help in overcoming the problems of indigene settler dichotomy, inter-tribal conflict and religious intolerance by indicating the old existed inter-tribal diplomatic relations. The last but not the least, the study has further explored some major educational development crises confronting these studies in Nigeria, in the 21st Century and has to some extent directly or indirectly suggested the way forward for the betterment, progress and advancement of the subject matter of study and human existence in general.
