'''Xenoarchaeology''' is a form of archaeology concerned with the physical remains of past (but not necessarily extinct) alien cultures. The [[UNSC]] is known to have practiced Xenoarchaeology on various worlds occupied by the [[Forerunner]]s in the past, such as [[Onyx]] and [[Reach]]. Many of these sites were classified top-secret by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. Known practitioners of xenoarchaeology include Dr. [[William Arthur Iqbal]], [[Esko Korpijaakko]] and [[Laszlo Sorvad]]. After the [[Human-Covenant War]], many researchers in the universities of [[University of Edinburgh|Edinburgh]] and [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta]] were hired by the ONI to investigate Forerunner relics.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal", ''page 519''</ref>
