Church archeology is a sub-area of archeology , in particular settlement archeology and partly also urban archeology , which mainly deals with the building history of churches , the burial system in the churches and in the immediate vicinity of the churches, but also with small finds that are not directly related to church building.

In particular, the loss of the collections often resulted in accumulations of small divisional coins that lasted for centuries and often fell between the cracks in the floor slabs. Markus Agthe calculates an annual loss rate of 0.98 to 0.08 percent for the village church in Beesdau for the period from 1800 to 1880. This corresponded to about three lost coins with an average value of 3.6 pfennigs per year.
