  Galactic archaeology is the study of the history of star formation and
chemical evolution in the Milky Way, based on present-day stellar populations.
Studies of young stars are a key anchor point for Galactic archaeology, since
quantities like the initial mass function and the star formation rate can be
studied directly in young clusters and star forming regions. Conversely,
massive spectroscopic Galactic archaeology surveys can be used as a data source
for young star studies.
