c) You are an archaeologist and your mission is to classify the objects discovered in an archaeological site. You only have these clues for your help: Step 1: look for information about these concepts. MADE BY AUSTRALOPITHECUS / MADE BY HOMO HABILIS / BURNED OBJECT BY HOMO ERECTUS / WEAPON FROM BRONZE AGE / NEANDERTHAL BEGAN TO THINK IN LIFE AFTER DEATH / A NEW WAY OF TRANSPORT OF THE COPPER AGE / BURIAL OF A RICH MAN OF THE BRONZE AGE Step 2: Link these pictures to the previous concepts. Step 3: Put them in order from older to most recent
