                            1. Pick-axe to loosen the soil, trowels to remove small amounts of soil, brushes to allow soil to be carefully removed from an artefact, sieves so that no matter how small the artefact it won't be thrown away & drawing frames to record the position you found the object
                            2. How to tell how old things are?
                              1. Stratigraphy

                                  1. Every living thing contains a chemical called Carbon-14 while it is alive. When it dies, it begins to slowly release Carbon-14. The older the object the less Carbon-14 it will have.
