  1. What is Archaeology? Photo from my work at Mammoth Cave National Park.

  2. Archaeologists DO NOT: • Study dinosaurs. • Just look for pretty or valuable objects. • Just pick up artifacts. • Spend all their time just digging. • Buy, sell, or put a price on artifacts.

  3. So what is archaeology? The systematic, scientific recovery and analysis of artifacts in order to answer questions about past human culture and behavior. Photos from my work at Mammoth Cave National Park.

  4. Systematic:A consistent way of studying anything.

  5. Science:Methods and knowledge of studying anything.

  6. Recovery / Analysis:To collect and study artifacts.

  7. Artifact: Any item resulting from human activity.

  8. Question-based: Archaeologists study artifacts in order to answer questions about how humans lived. Did they have religion? Did they have disease or sickness? What tools did they use? What did they eat? When did they live? Did they hunt or farm? Did they have laws? Where did they live? Who took care of the children? Did they have writing? Did they have art? How large was the group?

  9. Past: Archaeologists study human cultures that are no longer living.

  10. Archaeologists study humans that have been gone for 50 years to 4.5 million years.

  11. Culture: Any learned behavior that is shared with others.

  12. So what is Archaeology? • More simply it is the study of artifacts left behind to learn about people from the past. OR People and their Garbage
