An archaeologist's finds include fossils, FRAGMENTS, and RELICS. Fossils are the remains of plants or animals that have been preserved in the earth for thousands of years. FRAGMENTS are pieces of artifacts that have been broken off or worn away over time. RELICS are objects that have been preserved from an earlier time and are often associated with a particular person or event. All of these finds provide valuable insight into the past and help archaeologists to better understand the history of a region.
