one reason for ancient archaelogy, from a christian perspective,

is the belief that God has been acting throughout history in the various nations of the world.  As it says in the book of the prophet Amos,

Are ye not to me as the sons of the Kushites?  O Sons of Israel, says Jehovah, Did I not bring Israel up out of the Land of Egypt?  And the Philistines from Caftor?  And Aram from Kir?  (9:7)

If, as a Christian viewpoint claims, God has been involved in the migrations not only of Israel, but also of other peoples, then the study of ancient history is a study, at least in part, of the works of God.
