1. The major details–the who, what, when, where of your artifact.
– The who, what, when, and where is the title of the article, archaeologists are caught

up in an intense fight over just how important the mysterious nebra sky disk really is.

2. An overview/summary of what went down (this does not need to be super in
depth!)

– The artifact The Nebra Sky Disk is an unprecedented Bronze Age treasure forger
some 3,600 years ago, or that could be a l less-remarkable Iron Age object made
1,000 years later, some archaeologists are considering that the Nebra Sky Disk is an
emotional object, and others argues that the artifact is european. Also, is a great
mystery of how the artifact was discovered and what to do with this.

3. The rhetor’s main arguments (which should be bad!), as far as you can tell. They
may be confusing to articulate (people who are poor arguers often craft confusing
arguments!), but try your best.

– The rhetor’s main arguments is that id this artifact is considered so historic and
important because it have lasted for many years,why don’t just put the Nebra Sky
Disk on a museum or to put this in an auction to make this artifact so valious, to take
care and that if each pass will get more expensive?

4. Reflect on the artifact–so far, why do you think this argument is bad? Once we
learn about logically fallacies, you can start putting names to these initial
observations.

– I believe the argument is not bad in all the ways. I believe that the fight over the age
of the disk is not helpful at all because so many arguments happening between the

archaeologists. If the archaeologists work together to discover the age it will be better
than fighting over the age of the artifact.
