'''Xenoarchaeology''' is a form of archaeology concerned with the study of the physical remains of past—though 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]], [[Heian]], and [[Reach]].
