Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Archeologists make observations about how people lived based on the artifacts and their context – the ground in which they are buried, the environment, and other factors. An observation is information gathered by using one of the five senses. However, artifacts, tell only part of the story.

Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast to Western anthropology, the knowledge base of Native American studies is endogenous, emerging from indigenous communities. Developers of Native American studies widely dismissed scientific objectivity, since Western cultural biases have historically informed anthropology and other disciplines.

Detailed explanation-3: -Archaeology is the study of the human past using material remains. These remains can be any objects that people created, modified, or used. Portable remains are usually called artifacts. Artifacts include tools, clothing, and decorations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Archaeologists are scientists who look for and study the evidence left behind by people who lived in the past. This evidence tells us about past events and provides information on how the people before us lived their lives: what they ate, how they built their houses and how they organized their communities.
