Answer 1

1. Spear point is older. 2. people above it. 3. more recent than layer D  

Explanation:

stratigraphy is the oldest method that archaeologist use to date artifacts. And it is based on the Law of superposition which states that as long as soil is undisturbed the oldest layer will be on the bottom and the most recent will be located on the top.

now by using the law of superposition, the answers we get are:

• The spear point is older than the arrowhead for the 1st question, as the spear point is below the arrow point.
• people above it will be the answer for the 2nd question.
• layer B is more recent than layer D as per the stratigraphy picture.
