Guess the Artifact

Welcome to TRHFM’s Guess the Artifact! In this series, we will be sharing close-up pictures of some of our artifacts and inviting you to guess what you think it is. Be sure to pay attention to all of those details and take time to study the photographs below. What do you think these objects are?

To create a learning experience for your kids/students, consider asking them questions that expand beyond just “What do you think this is?” You can ask them things like: What color is it? What do you think the object is made of? How do you think it would feel or smell? What do you think the object is/was used for?
