Archaeology is the study of material remains related to the human past. Such remains include monumental structures such as the pyramids of Egypt, to microscopic plant fragments retrieved from ancient soils. Archaeological research is undertaken on recent historical remains to supplement the written record, or on the prehistoric evidence of human culture where no other record exists. Archaeological methods are applied everywhere in the world where people have left remains behind, which for all practical purposes is anywhere on earth. From the buildings and other cultural artifacts left behind by the first Antarctic expeditions, to fossilized remains revealing the earliest human origins in Africa, Archaeology provides a window into man's cultural past.
Archaeology is also the study of past human populations, their lifestyle and their culture through material remains. The official definition for the word "archaeology" is "the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains."

Why was King Tutankhamun importatant?
Tut was only important because we found his tomb and mummy in tact. He was an important pharoah, but he wasn't incredibly so. Archaeologically, he was a lucky fluke. We use him as a template for all the pharaohs we know, even those whose tombs we have found. I think that's it. I might be wrong, but that's my guess. You might want to see another person for the answers. I hope I helped.
