Question

________ is the study of the past people and cultures through examination of artifacts. (________ es el estudio de los pueblos y culturas del pasado a través del examen de artefactos.)
geography (geografía)
archaeology (arqueología)
geology (geología)
history (historia)

indigenous means: (indígena significa:)
nomads (nómadas)
people (gente)
native (nativa)
new mexicans (nuevas mexicanas)

Explanation:

• First question: Archaeology focuses on studying past people and cultures through artifacts. Geography is about the Earth's features, geology on rocks and Earth's structure, and history on past events (not specifically through artifacts like archaeology).
• Second question: "Indigenous" means native. Nomads are people who move from place to place, "people" is a general term, and "New Mexicans" refers to a specific group from a region, not the general meaning of indigenous.

Answer:

1. Archaeology (Arqueología)
2. Native (Nativa)
