What is an artifact? Is it just a thing left over from the past, or is it something more? One way to think about artifacts is as the facts in a story. Archaeologists interpret those facts to test ideas about the past. As you look at the things found at Marksville, think about the way archaeologists have used them to understand what life was like at the site.
