Sample questions

Q1Easy

Which animal is believed to have been one of the first to be domesticated by humans?

A.Lion
B.Tiger
C.Elephant
D.Dog✓ correct
Why

The dog is generally regarded as one of the earliest animals domesticated, used for hunting and guarding.

Q2Medium

A Palaeolithic group needs to cut meat from a hunted animal and scrape its hide. Which kind of implements would they most likely use?

A.Polished stone axes with smooth edges
B.Iron knives
C.Rough flaked stone tools such as hand-axes and scrapers✓ correct
D.Bronze sickles
Why

Palaeolithic people used roughly flaked stone tools like hand-axes, choppers and scrapers; polished tools and metals came much later.

Q3Hard

Archaeologists find a layer with microliths, bones of small fast animals and grinding stones, but no metal and no large polished axes. To which period does this layer most likely belong, and why?

A.Palaeolithic, because microliths are the oldest tools
B.Bronze Age, because grinding stones prove metal use
C.Mesolithic/transition to Neolithic, because microliths and small-animal remains appear before metals and polished tools✓ correct
D.Iron Age, because microliths are made of iron
Why

Microliths and remains of small, fast animals are typical of the Mesolithic, and the absence of metal places it before the Bronze Age while grinding stones hint at the move towards Neolithic food processing.
