Intro to Archaeology/Prehistory

These items are able to be traced using the element analysis system.

The connection I have made with my essential question and this course included: how people that have hunting as a hobby/sport tend to have rather healthier, disease-free evidence on their skeletal remains. Family and factory farmers, however, tend to be manifested with such conditions since they are in a more compact area with a larger group of people.

Trace element analysis is when skeletal remains absorb some plant and animal fibers that can lead to knowing the time of death as well as location and elevation. This has become a widely practice method, due to the high accuracy rate of being factual evidence!
