1.6 ArchaeoTrekOnline - Reconstructing Past Lives. How Archaeologists Read the Human Record

How do archaeologists move from broken objects and scattered traces to real stories about people in the past? In this video, we explore how archaeologists reconstruct past lives by interpreting material evidence from archaeological sites. From houses and settlements to food remains, tools, burials, and ritual objects, the lesson shows how different types of evidence help answer big questions: Who lived here? How did they survive? What did they believe? And how did life change from childhood to old age? Using case studies ranging from prehistoric Europe to the Roman world — including Pompeii, Ötzi the Iceman, and elite Iron Age burials — this video explains how archaeologists read the human record and transform fragments in the ground into meaningful narratives about daily life, work, identity, and belief. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone curious about how archaeology brings the past back to life.
