Prehistory: everything that happened BEFORE people knew how to write in any way

History: not what happened, but what people wrote ABOUT what happened AFTER learning how to write in some way

Archeology: the study of the past by finding artifacts (stuff people make like tools, pottery, or clothes). Think Indiana Jones, but more time digging in the ground.

Anthropology: Studies cultures, beliefs and how societies develop.

For example, figuring out how an ancient religion worked.

* An anthropologist would explain what cave men believed. An anthropologist would find a cave man's artifact, like a hunting spear.

Technology: skills and tools people use to get stuff done. Not necessarily electronics! Example: a bowl to gather water.
