Nicholas Cornes 11/21/2023 ATH 205 The Apache tipi is an excellent artifact to further discuss because of how they built them and why they built them.The Apache tipi was used for shelter and could easily be put up or taken down to accommodate their nomadic lifestyle. It was made of dried buffalo skin that had a light brown tint to it and the dimensions were around 12 to 20 feet (3.5 to 6 meters) high and 15 to 30 feet (4.5 to 9 meters) in diameter. Archaeologists used these methods to find the Apache tipis: developed mapping method combining remote sensing, excavation, hand-drawing, computer-assisted drawing, and Magellan Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment. I would use the Magellan GPS because it would allow for us to know exactly where the artifact is so that we can extract it without causing more damage to the artifact. The Apache tipi showcased was found in Eastern Arizona in a public desert climate. Some of the tipis can still be found on land that is occupied by the descendants of the Apache, if excavation were to occur in these areas, being ethical and obtaining permission from the descendants on the land will be necessary. The Apache tipi was found in a valley using our GPS technology, it was found here because the Apache people lived nomadic lifestyles and constantly moved around and often put up shelters in these valleys to avoid the desert climate. In order to see the bigger picture of the Apache tribe and what they did, artifacts like their basketry and clothing should be found as well to determine the type of lifestyles they lived and what resources they used to make these artifacts. These additional artifacts can also tell us about

their religion and even their diet. In order to form valid and reliable opinions about cultures you must gather more and more data because the data will vary from site to site and in order to deliver the most accurate opinion, data will be needed. Implications regarding the ethical extraction of these artifacts include: Preserving and managing archaeological resources, treating human remains with dignity and respect, and engaging in outreach activities.
