On an archaeological excavation, you find a piece of animal bone lying within a hearth in the centre of the remains of a settlement. The bone, hearth, and settlement remains are respectively: Select one: 1. An ecofact, a feature, and a site 2.
The correct answer is:
1. An ecofact, a feature, and a site
- **Ecofact**: The piece of animal bone is considered an ecofact because it provides information about the biological environment and the diet of the people who lived at the settlement.
- **Feature**: The hearth is regarded as a feature, as it is a non-portable element of the archaeological record (it's often associated with activity).
- **Site**: The settlement remains themselves are considered a site, which is a location where evidence of past human activity is found.
