What can archaeologists learn from artifacts?
A. Artifacts can tell us is how old a site is. People used different stone tools at different times. Large stone points may look like arrowheads, but were made for long lances used to hunt mammoths. Over time, as the animals people hunted changed, and so did the projectile points they used to hunt them. Pottery also tells us about how old a site is, and it can give us clues about what group of people lived there. Where an artifact is found and what it is found with can also give us clues to how people in the past lived.
