a scientist who studies human history by digging up human remains and artifacts

usually a simple object such as a tool or ornament showing human work, as representing a culture, or a stage, in the development of the culture ( the tools reflect the skills of that particular time period for humanity)

Before the common era (before the birth of Christ) *wording used on timelines.

Neolithic site in present day turkey

Common Era; the global standard used to count years based on the traditionally reckoned year of the birth of christ

the taming and training of plants and animals to be useful to humans

to carefully dig up (archaeologists will excavate historical sites to find bones, artifacts, ruins etc.)

remains,impression, or trace of a living thing of a former geologic age, such as a skeleton or footprint

people who study and write about the past

Humans that hunt wild animals, or gather edible plants as a way to feed themselves

movement from one country, place, or locality to another

Later part of the stone age when people used to ground or polished stone weapons and implements (agriculture began during this time)

a fundamental change in the way people lived, they went from hunting and gathering to agriculture-which led to permanent settlements

having no fixed home and moving according to the seasons from place to place in search of food, water and grazing land

early phase of the stone age, lasting about 2.5 million years, when primitive stone implements were used

The time period before any written records

An artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic.

Documents written after an event has occurred, providing secondhand accounts of that event, person, or topic. Secondary sources analyze and interpret Primary Sources
