Since we are learning about how people interpret sources to understand more about the history of a place or city, we are learning about artifacts. When we interpret a thing, it is not guessing what it is. It is looking carefully, observing it, and using the information you know to make an educated guess. We have recently been playing an artifact game in class. The teacher would show us a picture of an artifact on our projector screen and we had to interpret four things about the artifact: where (where it was from), what (what is it), when (when was it made), and who (who made it). I want you to try this artifact game. Below is a picture of an artifact. Can you guess…
Where it came from?
When it was made?
Who made it?
What is it?

Remember, your guess can never be wrong!
