What do archaeologists find out about early people?

Answer 1

they do observations

Answer 2

A:Archaeologists dig down a settlement site carefully, layer by layer, so that they uncover successively older habitation sites as the move downwards. They record the exact locations and layers in which artefacts are found, so that provenance and age are better established.

Often only the bases of residences remain, as timber walls and roofs have usually disappeared, however, sufficient evidence usually remains to establish whether a building was of more than one storey. With luck, some stone pillars or other evidence of monumental construction can be found. Much information can be determined by examining sherds - pieces of broken pottery that have been discarded from time to time when it is accidentally broken. Careful examination of graves can provide much information about the health of the inhabitants and their religious beliefs.

Occasionally written material can be found, including steles, graffiti and seals. The steles, often celebrating victories or other successes of the rulers, are not usually taken at face value since there is an almost universal tendency to boast and exaggerate successes. Seals can provide information about the names of the owners and from those names can be gleaned information about ethnicity and even religious beliefs.

Occasionally, carbon dating can be used to establish the age of a find, but more often archaeologists have to do some careful detective work. Pottery and construction styles can be compared with similar items from another site of known age. In 'biblical Archaeology', finds were often placed in the context of the biblical period they seemed to most closely fit, based on the Bible itself. However this method is rarely used now, as historians increasingly doubt the historical and chronological accuracy of many passages in the Old Testament. Of course, much can often be found about a people from what neighbouring rulers said about them.

In the Middle East, interesting artefacts can be purchased on the black market. These items are never considered primary evidence about a people, because of risk of forgery, inaccurate information about their original locations and so on.

Answer 3

Archaeologists study early people through the analysis of artifacts, bones, and structures they left behind. By examining these materials, archaeologists can learn about early societies' technology, diet, social structures, belief systems, and interactions with the environment. They can also determine how early people adapted to their surroundings and evolved over time.

Answer 4

Archaeologists study early humans by digging up and studying the traces of early settlements
