Question 1 • FL-2109010-M/J World History A - Teacher Directed Resource

This artifact is a stamped seal that is made out of baked clay. Only one stamp was found at any home. What conclusion can archaeologists draw from this artifact?

Answer
A
Each family had a unique seal.
B
Families had many seals.
C
These seals were used for stamping notes.
D
Baking clay was important to this complex village.

Explanation

Because archaeologists found only one seal at each home, the seals were likely associated with individual households rather than being kept in large numbers. This supports the conclusion that each family had a unique seal. The evidence does not show that families had many seals or reveal what the seals were used to stamp.
