As other posters have noted, you should apply to several in case your first choice doesn't make you an offer. Also applying to more than one costs the same as applying to five so, you may as well try to find five to apply to.
If you're not interested in the archaeology aspect you may want to look into Ancient History courses; this will focus less on that. However it should be noted the emphasis on archaeology is due to the fact that what we know about these ancient cultures is due to archaeological investigation, and it's important to understand the biases and limitations this imposes on our knowledge.
Some examples are British Archaeologists smashing off all the noses from the Pharaonic statues because they were clearly of African heritage and that didn't fit in with Victorian notions of classical civilization's superiority compared with their view of African peoples at the time. Alternately how archaeologists continue to conveniently ignore what are clearly female Norse warriors buried in traditional warrior style, or of course the notion Alexander and Hephaestion were just "guys being pals" when the latter's tomb built under the purview of Alexander was so lavish it was mistaken for his own.
So, archaeology is emphasized because it is important in the study of ancient cultures. However Ancient History courses may emphasize this aspect less; similarly Classical Language oriented courses are likely to not emphasize this as much simply due to the fact studying ancient languages takes a significant amount of time anyway (although typically there are options to study archaeology as well and it may be reference in passing in some parts of the course).
