Transcribed Image Text:Stratigraphy is the oldest method that archaeologists use to date artifacts. It
is based on the Law of Superposition which states that as long as layers of
soil are undisturbed the oldest layer will be on the bottom and the most recent
will be located on the top. Below is a Stratigraphy Map showing the different
layers of soil deposit, layers A-G. Within these layers different artifacts were
found, numbered 1-9. Answer the following questions keeping in mind the
Law of Superposition.
Artifacts:
1. Piece of a glass bottle
2. Face from a ceramic doll
3. Arrowhead
4. Clay pottery sherd
5. Charred fish bones
6. Stone scrapper
7. Sharpened deer bone
8. Mastadon bone fragment
9. Spear point
Questions:
1. Which is older: the arrowhead or the spear point?
2. If G is a well, who do you think dug it?
3. Is layer B older or more recent than layer D?
4. Were there humans living here when layer E was being formed? Support
your answer. What about layer B?
5. Name an animal that lived here when layer D was being formed.
6. Layer F is a garbage pit. What layer were the people who dug it living
in? What artifacts might have belonged to the person who dug it?
7. How might the mastodon have been killed? Who do you think might
have killed it? Support your answers.
8. Which is older: the clay pottery sherd or the sharpened deer bone?
9. Which was deposited more recently: the fish bones or level D?
