Archaeologists try to reconstruct the human past through tangible evidence, written documentation, and even oral histories when investigating the recent past. Tangible evidence includes artifacts (various kinds of stone tools, ceramics, bone, figurines, pipes, etc.), features (fire pits, post molds, trash pits and other soil stains as well as structures such as earthworks, mounds, temples, pyramids, and building foundations), and ecofacts (nuts, seeds, pollen, charcoal, and other natural objects that help archaeologists recreate past environments). Written documentation includes maps, geological reports, archival documents, and information recorded by previous archaeologists.
