This introduction to anthropology helps students compare cultures and understand cultural diversity. Why Archaeologists Dig Square Holes Learn about grids, and how archaeologists use them to excavate and analyze a site. This lesson concentrates on the analysis and reconstruction of one common type of artifact, and how archaeologists use it to learn more about the people who created the site. This lesson focuses on ethics and conservation. For every day that an archaeologist spends excavating, he or she must spend at least two days in the laboratory.
Artifacts are important clues that can be used to reconstruct history and prehistory.
After they are carefully removed from an archaeological site, artifacts must be properly cleaned, labeled, sorted, and analyzed. The Center for Archaeological Studies' Old Mobile Archaeology website was first developed by Jo Ann Okuzono . Our Webmaster, Sarah Mattics , works under the direction of Dr. Gregory A.Waselkov .
