How do we find out about the lives of people who lived long ago? Archaeology helps us! Archaeologists study things people in the past left behind.
Archaeologists can find a lot of things when they dig! They bring those things to a lab. They weigh, measure, and draw them. They figure out what the artifacts are. How did people make them? How did they use them? You can see some artifacts in museums.
What Do You Think? What do you wonder about how people lived long ago? How could an archaeologist help you answer the question?
