Software archaeology is the practice of analyzing, understanding, and documenting legacy software systems—those that were developed many years ago, often using outdated technologies or programming languages. The term is borrowed from the field of archaeology, where researchers study and interpret artifacts from past civilizations to gain insights into their cultures and practices. Similarly, software archaeology seeks to uncover the "artifacts" of old software to understand its design, functionality, and the context in which it was created.
