Archaeologic Past Answer Key

Students act as young archaeologists by examining descriptions of artifacts discovered at Jamestown and inferring what each reveals about early colonial life. The worksheet includes items like armor, beads, and animal bones, prompting students to draw conclusions about trade, danger, and daily survival. Inference questions encourage analytical reasoning and help students understand how physical evidence supports historical knowledge.
