Remember: Find Evidence Types of evidence: Written Sources Artifacts Media Multiple sources Authenticate sources Analyze author’s intent

Primary Sources Firsthand accounts of events/people Documents, photos, letters, diaries, etc Created by people who didn’t (or couldn’t) witness event Biographies, textbooks, Internet, etc Secondary Sources Media: information sources

Objects Anything created/used by humans Art, tools, weapons, etc Preserved organic (natural) matter Human, animal, or plant remains Fossils

Anthropology—the study of humanity, how past and present cultures live Culture—a people’s way of life (Beliefs, values, social classes, art, language, tradition, etc…) Archeology—study of past cultures using artifacts left behind History—study of past societies/events, primarily using written records

What kind of evidence is this? What does this object reveal about its owner? What does it say about the society it came from? What can we speculate (educated guess based on evidence) about the values, traditions, society, people, climate, etc of where this object can from?

If an object is unfamiliar: What is the possible function of this item? Why might it have been used? Who might have used it? Beware of: Assumptions: guesses made without evidence Multiple Perspectives: 2 people can see one object in different ways Bias: Making a judgment based on YOUR preferences or beliefs

What kind of person/people might have used this object? Does it suggest anything about social class, wealth, or the economy? Did this culture have a written language? Does this object suggest an education or training? Did they appreciate art? Were the peaceful or warring? What could the purpose of this object be? Did this culture have a religion? Did this culture have a government? What kind? What kind of technology is needed to create this artifact? What is this object made out of? Is that material natural or manmade? Is this organic (bone, plant, tooth, etc)? If so, was it altered by man? Does this tell you anything about where they lived? Does it say anything about cities, farming, hunting, etc?
