Hi Shailendra, Greetings
* The scope depends on your interest in the field of Interior design like There are several choices for pursuing your career in the Interior design field as B. Des Interior Design. B.Sc. Interior, B.A. , or Diploma courses as well but amongst all B. Des Interior Design 4-year programs is considerably more professional and industrial specific in comparison. It carries more weightage in several areas. You can make your specialisation with Master's to choose an industry in an Interior design career, like Project making, Designer, or Project handling and designing, etc. You can also have a look at IILM University, Gurugram. You can appear for IILM University Gurugram's Design Aptitude Test with the Interview Process for applying. They offer B. Des degree programs with various specializations like Fashion, Interior, Interaction, and Product Design of 4 years with an added advantage of Liberal Education in their curriculum with good and advanced pedagogy in teaching. The School of Design & Fashion at IILM University, Gurugram offers a choice of career by combining a major and minor degree within design fields or other mainstream courses like a combination of major in Fashion and minor in Graphic Design or major in Interaction and minor in Business. You can visit their website to apply for the programme or to enquire more. Good Luck.

In short, archaeology is dependent on geology. The longer answer is that geological principles and methods are at the very core of archaeological site interpretation methodologies. They are the foundation really. The understanding we get from archaeology can only happen if we know when something happened, and if the things we find are associated with that thing. From that point, we can start to say things confidently. If we don't have those two basic pieces of information, we cannot say anything and it is just stuff in the ground. To date, the only way to get those two points of information is through geology. Geology provides archaeology with the concept of stratification to determine this. Stratification is the form of strata in a given area, and how they relate to one another. Strata refers to horizontal layers of sediment soil, that were derived from the erosion of surrounding rocks. Stratification is the principle that younger layers of soil sediment will typically be on top of, or superior to older sediment layers. Which means the deeper the soil layer below surface, the older the soil layer. An important digression is that since there are different conditions over time when the rocks erode, the soil strata are different colors and compositions, so the different strata can be differentiated. Back to the core points. A principle of archaeology is that sites form while they are part of daily life, so you assume that the strata that holds the archaeology was the ground surface at the time it was in use. This is unless you have obvious signs of something having been buried, which can also be understood through stratification but again, that's a whole other discussion. This is where geology gets applied, when we find archaeology, we measure how deep it is in the ground and where it is horizontally also, this information is called provenance and is basically, your proof as an archaeologist that this thing was used by these people at this time. Otherwise, it is speculation.
