    have been used since the 17th century.

Next Question
7
Kids your age used this artifact for what?
  • Brushing their teeth
  • Writing and drawing on the blackboard
  • Cleaning dishes

8
AWESOME!!
  • Slate pencils, like this worn example seen here,
    were very common throughout the 19th century.
    These pencils, when used on a slate writing
    tablet, would produce white lines similar to
    chalk.

Next Question
9
Buttons are a very common find on archaeological
sites.
  • True
  • False

10
WAY TO GO!
  • Buttons are very common on archaeological sites.
    Moving from left to right is a common, 4-holed,
    porcelain button, a four-holed iron button, and a
    hard rubber button.

Next Question
11
This artifact is a broken piece of what?
  • Tea pot
  • Hook to hang clothes
  • Watering can

12
RIGHT AGAIN!
  • Big cast iron tea kettles were used to boil water
    and were often found hanging from iron arms or
    cranes in the fireplace.

Next Question
13
Is this a penny?
  • True
  • False

14
YEAH!
  • This example of an Indian Head penny, dated 1864.
    Indian Head pennies were minted from 1859 to
    1909.

Next Question
15
What do you think this is?
  • Tool used in farming
  • Lid to a pot
  • Coffee grinder

16
GOOD JOB!
  • These cast iron objects were used for grinding
    coffee beans.
  • Today, we have electric coffee grinders.

Next Question
17
This artifact is still around today.
  • True
  • False

18
CORRECT!
  • This is a iron drill.
  • Your parents probably have something that looks
    very similar to this.

Next Question
19
These are
  • Pieces of chalk
  • Clay beads
  • Straws
  • Tobacco pipe stems

20
EXCELLENT!
  • These are fragments of clay tobacco pipe stems.
    Because the thin clay stems on these pipes broke
    easily, 17th and 18th century archaeological
    sites are often littered with pipe stem
    fragments.

Next Question
21
This is
  • A plate
  • A turtle shell
  • A pot
  • The sole of a shoe

22
RIGHT AGAIN!
  • This the lower shell of a turtle found on a site.
    Turtle shells are technically bones to an
    archaeologist, and discovering one on an
    archaeological site tells us something about what
    the people who lived here were eating.
