Settlement archaeology
Settlement archaeology is like going on a treasure hunt, but instead of finding gold and jewels, we look for things that people from a long time ago used and left behind.
Imagine you are playing in your backyard and you find a toy that you lost a long time ago. You might remember playing with it, but you forgot where you put it. Settlement archaeologists do something similar, but instead of toys, they look for things like tools, pottery, and bones that people from centuries or even thousands of years ago used in their daily lives.
Archaeologists start by looking at maps to find areas where people may have lived a long time ago. They then dig into the ground using special tools to find artifacts from the past. These artifacts give us clues about how people lived, what they ate, and how they worked. By studying these artifacts, we can learn about the history of a place and its people.
Settlement archaeology helps us understand who lived in a place a long time ago, what they did, and how they survived. It's like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, we're solving the mystery of the past.
