Some facts about artifacts
The saying “You are what you eat” often rings true in archaeology. The daily diet of a people shows how healthy and wealthy the society was. It may be revealed by food-related remains such as seeds, pollen (plant spores), animal bones, campfire sites, and cooking tools.

The royal tombs of ancient Egypt were filled with the richest foods available. Egyptians believed that the dead needed food in the afterlife. As their tombs reveal, most people there ate well, and royalty ate very, very well.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Food-related items aren’t the only clues we can use to discover the truths of past cultures. Three other rules also apply: You are what you wear, you are what you own, and you are what you live in. Look at what you eat, own, wear, and live in. What if you were frozen in time, and archaeologists of the 23rd century wanted to figure out how you lived? What wrong ideas – and right ideas – might they get from studying artifacts of your existence?

Stone Age people made axes, spears, scrapers, and other stone tools. Some knives made of flint (a stone that flakes easily) are as sharp as a modern surgeon’s knife. This skull underwent brain surgery 4,000 years ago. The holes in the head had begun to heal, which means the patient survived, at least for a while.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Which is better for cutting down trees: a stone ax or a bronze ax? Archaeologists hacked down trees with both kinds of axes and found that it makes no difference. Only iron (right) makes the job go faster. ▶

what tools do you use everyday that could seem like
interesting artifacts to someone from the future?

Slide 16 - Open vraag

Remember what you have read about the methods and tools archaeologists
use to find evidence of people who lived long ago. Both archaeologists and historians use what they learn from artifacts to draw conclusions about what life was like and how people lived in
the past. Many of the artifacts found are tools or useful objects.
Today, clothes can be giveaways to a person’s origins. The same was true more than 3,800 years ago. Archaeologists found mummies with hair and clothes intact, all preserved naturally by the dry air and freezing winters.

Typically, archaeologists are able to use ancient writings and art to understand dead civilizations. But that works only if they can read the messages in these artifacts. The Voynich manuscript (right), found in Italy, is about 600 years old, and it still has not been read. It’s written in Latin, but the words are in code, and they make no sense
