章節(jié)摘錄

　　The best-known method for dating wood is called dendro-chronology. This technique involves counting the yearlygrowth rings visible on cross sections of cut trees. Archae-ologists match the pattern of tree rings with those of ancientwooden objects to determine the age of the objects. Den-drochronology is the most accurate of all dating methods,but it can be used only with wooden objects up to about8 000 years old.　　Evaluation. Archaeologists evaluate artifacts and featuresto learn such information as how and where the objectswere made and used. In some cases, the scientists learn bydirect experimentation. In Central America, one archaeolo-gist stored nuts for a year in underground chambers to sup-port his theory that the Maya used the chambers to keepnuts. Artifacts and features can also help explain the sociallives of ancient people. For example, the size of housescan show how many people lived in one household. Thenumber and value of objects found in graves can indicatedifferences in social class.
