7. Archaeology
Archaeology is the scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts, fossils, settlements, and other such remains.

8. How do scientists determine the age of artifacts?
Strata
If two items are located within the same strata of the ground, they are approximately the same age

9. And…
Carbon dating!
Archaeologists measure the amount of carbon 14 (14C) remaining in artifacts or fossils. The amount remaining tells the age of the item.

10. Important archaeological sites
Are used to:
Help archaeologists understand early humans and their lifestyles.
