these are usually tools made of stone or occasionally bone.
taphonomy - correct answer ✔✔the study of how bones and other materials came to be buried in the
earth and preserved as fossils. Scientists who study this study the processes of sedimentation, the action
of streams, preservation properties of bone, and carnivore disturbance factors.
thermoluminiscence (TL) - correct answer ✔✔a technique for dating certain archaeological materials
(such as stone tools) that were heated in the past and that, upon reheating, release the stored energy of
radioactive decay as light.

microwear - correct answer ✔✔polishes, striations, and other diagnostic microscopic changes on the
edges of stone tools
principle of superposition - correct answer ✔✔in a stratigraphic sequence, the lower layers were
deposited before the upper layers, so the stuff on top was put there last and is the newest
stratigraphy - correct answer ✔✔the study of the sequential layering of deposits
australopiths - correct answer ✔✔a colloquial name referring to a diverse group of Plio-Pleistocene
African hominins. They are the most abundant and widely distributed of all early hominins
