Inferencing and Archeaology

Digging into the past is a complicated job. We will be learning about the various tools archeaologists use to find out information about past events, people and societies. How do we know about the way people lived if they did not leave a detailed list of items and their uses? Archaeologists use inferencing.

Inferencing is process of coming to a conclusion. Archaeologists look at the artifacts and other facts and make an educated guess about historical events, people, and societies.

For the rest of this week we will be looking into inferencing and archaeology.
