archaeologists look for patterns in the artifacts they study that they give them clues and how the people who made and used them lived.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archeology is the study of the human past using material remains.

Our understanding of the earliest cultures is based on archeology as it provides us with the opportunity to learn about past cultures through the study of artifacts, animal bonus and sometimes human bones. Studying these helps us provide us with some insight about what life was like
