They investigate historic as well as prehistoric sites. Archaeologists do not sell artifacts nor do they keep them for themselves. 14007728 https://padlet.com/14007728/ojednfsugbsg/wish/154251932 2017-02-16 09:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/14007728/ojednfsugbsg/wish/154251932 What did Stone Age people eat? 14007728 https://padlet.com/14007728/ojednfsugbsg/wish/154252425 The meat they did eat was probably lean, but the rest of their protein intake came from plant life and vegetation.

Hunter gatherers often painted and engraved the inside of caves and huts.  The Palaeolithic people decorated their cave walls either by carving or engraving them with sharp stones, or by painting them with pigment made from minerals. Red (rust) colours were obtained from the stones and black came from charcoal.   The colours were mixed with water to make paint.  They were applied to the walls with either their fingers, fur or brushes made from twigs. The paintings often represented daily life such as men hunting, animals, women gathering crops. 

These paintings give us an insight into how the stone age people lived.]]> 2017-02-16 09:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/14007728/ojednfsugbsg/wish/154253491 The Stone Age is divided into three periods: 14007728 https://padlet.com/14007728/ojednfsugbsg/wish/154253945 The Palaeolithic (old Stone Age),
