Archaeologists can tell us about
people's everyday lives in the past - about their food, and the types
of homes they lived in. We can also learn about the jobs that people did
and the tools and skills they used. Human bones can tell us how long they
lived, and sometimes the diseases they had.
Archaeologists cannot tell us everything about the past because objects
made of cloth, wood and leather often rot away. Usually we cannot find
out about stories, ideas or religious beliefs from the evidence. |
