                        How Do Archaeologists Learn About Prehistoric 

                                                 People And Events?

Archaeologists learn about prehistoric people and events . They examine artifacts very closely to see any small cuts or details  that might have been caused by something physically. Some fossils may have certain markings that indicate that the person or creature was was stabbed, like large breaks or cuts that seem like a marking a spear tip would make. The detail in pots and other pottery can tell if the people were craftsmen or spiritual. (Like if the markings are fancy and/or in-depth, then they were talented in art. If there are carvings of gods, they were most likely spiritual.) If there are many fossils  and old weapons in one place, archaeologists can assume there was a battle in that area. Archaeologists can also look at ancient tablets or tapestries and tell a story by looking at the markings or drawings.

Those are some examples of how archaeologists learn about ancient people and events!
