Archeologists perform archeological digs to learn more about a civilization and move research forward. When they find an artifact, they examine it and make a hypothesis to answer their research question. This process entails several steps:
o Uncover and handle the artifact safely
o Examine the artifact and extract information from their observation
o Make a hypothesis to answer their research question
