  8. AWESOME!! • Slate pencils, like this worn example seen here, were very common throughout the 19th century. These pencils, when used on a slate writing tablet, would produce white lines similar to chalk. Next Question

  9. Buttons are a very common find on archaeological sites. • True • False

  10. WAY TO GO! • Buttons are very common on archaeological sites. Moving from left to right is a common, 4-holed, porcelain button, a four-holed iron button, and a hard rubber button. Next Question

  11. This artifact is a broken piece of what? • Tea pot • Hook to hang clothes • Watering can

  12. RIGHT AGAIN! • Big cast iron tea kettles were used to boil water and were often found hanging from iron arms or cranes in the fireplace. Next Question

  19. These are: • Pieces of chalk • Clay beads • Straws • Tobacco pipe stems

  20. EXCELLENT! • These are fragments of clay tobacco pipe stems. Because the thin clay stems on these pipes broke easily, 17th and 18th century archaeological sites are often littered with pipe stem fragments. Next Question

  21. This is: • A plate • A turtle shell • A pot • The sole of a shoe

  22. RIGHT AGAIN! • This the lower shell of a turtle found on a site. Turtle shells are technically bones to an archaeologist, and discovering one on an archaeological site tells us something about what the people who lived here were eating. Credits Page
