Question 2

William Webb (1882-1964) excavated hundreds of burials at the Indian Knoll site in western Kentucky. How did Webb explain the presence of hunting weapons in the graves of women and children at the site?

a. Women and children hunted in life; they were therefore interred with the objects they would need in the afterlife.
b. Burial ritual; the artifacts were symbols of grief rather than objects that the interred used during life because women and children would not have hunted.
c. Misinterpretation of the archaeological evidence; the hunting weapons were not hunting weapons at all, but rather tools used to process plants.
d. His interpretations of the site changed through time.
e. Formerly a physicist, he used the analogy of the atomic bomb.
