Prehistory• Much of what we know about the past and
about the earliest people who lived in Alabama comes from fossils and artifacts. Scientists have to look for clues from these fossils and artifacts because there was not a written language during that time. This period of history is called prehistory.
![Page 4: Alabama’s Early People Chapter 3. Lesson 1 Prehistory Much of what we know about the past and about the earliest people who lived in Alabama comes from.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649ce25503460f949ad8a6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Fossils• Paleontologists are scientists who study
fossils. A fossil is the preserved remains of a plant or animal from long ago. Examples of fossils are shells, leaf prints, and skeletons.

The first people to cross the Bering Strait migrated south. To migrate means to move from one place to another.

Lesson 1 Review• Paleontologists study fossils. Fossils are
preserved remains of plants or animals.• Archaeologists study artifacts. Artifacts are
objects that were made and used by people long ago.
• The first Native Americans migrated, or moved from one place to another, over the Bering Strait. The Bering Strait is a land bridge connecting Asia to North America.
• Hunter-gatherers gathered plants and hunted animals.
• Agriculture is planting and growing crops.• Can you name one thing each Native American time
period is known for?

Native Americans Died OutExplorers from Spain came to Alabama in the
1500’s. They carried germs that caused the
Native Americans in Alabama to get sick.
Native Americans were not able to fight the
germs and many died. The Native Americans
who survived formed four new groups of Native
Americans in Alabama.
