ANSWER • An artifact is something made by humans that is significant in regards to the culture of a group. It is often from an earlier time period and may give insight, hints or clues, about the people and culture who made it. Some examples of an artifact could be a tool, clothing, toy, pottery, or art. Such items are considered PRIMARY SOURCES. This is because they were made during a previous time period, and they tell us about the lives of people living during that time.
PRIMARY SOURCES • These primary sources, or artifact, help to give insight into how people lived long ago. • Think about this pottery. What What facts can be learned from from this pot? Hmmmmm…
Timelines are graphic organizers that put dates in sequence so that we understand the order of events. A timeline may be divided up into two sections. All timelines move from left to right. This gets a little confusing when we look back into ancient times. If I wanted to the time between birth of Ramassess II and Columbus, I would need to see the years between those two dates.
So the birth of Ramasses II was 132 BC, Before Common Era. Columbus reaches America in 1492 Common Era. Take 1302 years for Ramasses from BC until Common Era, or AD on timeline below. Then you add 1492 years during the Common Era/AD. 1302 + 1492=2794 years between the two events.
This is an interesting timeline. See where there is a 0 on the bottom? While there is no year 0, this is a symbol. It is like a wall that shows the end of the ancient times and the beginning of the new Common Era. Notice that to the left of the 0 or Before Common Era/ancient times years have a - . These years INCREASE even though it INCREASES to the left. On the other hand, to the left of 0 it is called Common Era and the years increase to the right.
For example, how many years between the year -2,000 and the year 500? Well you would think the year -2000 means 2000 Before Common Era, ok that is a total of 2,000 years before the symbol 0. Now the year 500 is 500 years after the symbol 0. Oh! 2000 added to the 500?! The elapsed time is 2,500 years!! Get It? Hmmm… No? We will review this in class, I promise!
