Introduction to Archaeology and Ethics By Ms. Hesson

What is Archaeology? The study of historic and prehistoric peoples and their cultures by looking at artifacts

What is an Artifact? Any object made by humans such as a tool or the remains of one such as a pottery sherd

Artifact Ethics Our nations archaeological sites are being destroyed and plundered Scientific information is being destroyed Native Americans lose an important part of their heritage Large quantities of human remains, pottery rock art, and sites of habitation are being lost and important links to the past – gone forever It is important to protect archaeological sites and artifacts

Examples showing destruction of artifacts Larsen Cave near Prairie du Chien

Red arm with nearby damage

Larsen Cave, red bird with recent damage

Larsen Cave, looter’s pit

Looter’s pit

More destruction in Iowa County, WI The Damage is irreversible!

Gottschall vandalism

Once the past is destroyed, early cultures can no longer be accurately dated and studied.

Act now to save the links to our past.

As a follow up to the PowerPoint presentation, I will have my students make a brochure to be put into visitor stops on the bike trail in our communities. The brochure will feature how and why to protect sites.
