SOCIAL SCIENTISTS Who?

WHEN• Prehistory is described as the time before writing•Pre = Before, History = Writing

• No cities, no government, early people• We needed to find ways to explain the past when we couldn’t rely on documents • Later, when writing is developed, these scientists still give us extra clues about the past!

ARCHAEOLOGISTS• Archaeologists study artifacts left behind • Artifacts are anything made by a human being

ANTHROPOLOGISTS• Anthropologists study bones and culture• They try to understand people in the context of their own societies

GEOGRAPHER• Geographers study Earth’s surface and where people live• Why do people live where they do? What impact does that make?

ECONOMIST• Economists study resources available to people and the problem of scarcity• What is scarcity? What resources do you think are scarce?

HISTORIAN• Historians study the past through writing• YOU are historians this year because you are understanding the past by analyzing writings!

WHERE ARE HISTORIANS GETTING ALL THESE THINGS TO READ?• Sources are written documents that historians use to understand the past• They are separated into PRIMARY and SECONDARY sources

PRIMARY SOURCES• Primary sources come directly from the time period and are a first hand account• Diary• Journal• Letter• Original Document (Declaration of Independence)

SECONDARY SOURCES• Secondary sources are written as a second hand account, usually much later after the event took place • Textbook• Biography • Encyclopedia

• Telephone!!!
