Question 3
·
What could account for differences you observe between the different types and subtypes within
this Class? In other words, what might these differences say about the people who made and
used these objects and/or about the objects themselves?

Possible reasons for the differences could be time period and method of subsistence. Stone tools made
from flintknapping could be older, before the technological development of metal tools such as nails or
keys. Stone tools also may be more likely to appear in communities of foragers or pastoralists, whereas
metal materials could be found in agricultural communities, because agriculturalists are typically
sedentary and would have more resources and time to forge metal items as opposed to nomadic
foragers. Agricultural communities are known to be more technologically advanced as well
