How to discover a historical artefact

1.) First of all, you have to find your site first. There are three ways to do so: Accidental, rescue, planned.

Accidental archaeology happens when someone discovers an artefact without in-tending to. You could be exploring a different country, or just going out camping when this could happen.

Rescue occurs when archaeologists know that artefacts are scattered in parts of a site that is being demolished. Before a building is torn down archaeologists are called the excavate the place.

Planned archaeology is when archaeologists dig in a site, knowing that there are some artefacts laying about due to their experience and and instinct.

Step 2: Archaeologists need to survery the excavation site before digging.This is an important step before and after excavating.They do this with the help of 9 other historians.

They use the following type of people when surveying sites: •anthropologists •engineers •aerial photographers •helicopter pilots •biologists •lithic analysts •botanists •ecologists •a local translator

Step 3: Once the site has been excavated, archaeologists start digging. They have the help with ecologists, as they help explain the land when digging and the areas around the found artefacts.

Step Four: After the digging is complete, it is now time to do some lab work. Th activities included during lab work are: •The classification and description •Material analysis •Environmental analysis

After all of these steps are done archaeologists put all of their collected information in a context of history. Most historians share their discoveries with other historians and the public after this
