Resource: Types of Archaeological Finds

Description

There are 3 main categories of finds in Archaeology – Artefacts, Ecofacts and Features. Each of these provide different information about the past, and may interact with each other as well. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of the site. This chapter of the Archaeology textbook explores these categories of finds, which archaeologists need to recognise for both excavation and analysis.
