Five items that defined the 1960s era was found inside the capsule. The items found in the capsule are birth control pills, music records, peace…

. Instead, demonstrating how “they were no more violent than anybody else, they were no less civilised than anybody else” (Winroth, 2013) of their time. Professor of archaeology at Stockholm university, Ingmar Jansson, states that “The Norsemen were not just warriors, they were farmers, artists, shipbuilders and innovators”, as well as a host of other vocations. Despite a quarter of the modern Orkney genome appearing to come from Norwegian Vikings, the lack of Danish DNA in modern descendants…

couldn’t find him. I almost just sat down and cried until my knight in shinning armor appeared to me and hugged me from behind. He managed to calm me down and we walked hand in hand to through the museum. I enjoyed looking at the different art and archaeology from Egypt and even some modern art. Our next stop is the Oxford Castle. The trip to Oxford Castle was amazing because there was rarely any person. There was Lukas, and I and 2 other couples walking around the area we were in. The building…

the body displayed in more than one fossil. So far, all of the fossils that have been excavated have been found in a tiny portion, one square meter, of the floor of this cave. This discovery is incredibly rare for the world of anthropology and archaeology. As anthropologists and others continue to excavate and research Homo naledi, they have come to a confident theory that the cave was never directly open to the surface. There is no surface sediment present on the floor of this cave. It is…

Flintknapping Definition: Flintknapping is the process of making stone tools by striking a stone with a soft or hard hammerstone. (Price & Feinman, 2013, p 60). Importance: This concept is crucial in the study of archaeology and the human advancement because it illustrates how early humans began to manipulate and interact with their surroundings. The “invention” of flintknapping made tool making possible, thereby granting early humans the ability to butcher animals…

skin and the lack of certain adult parasites, it is discovered that the method of burial did not stop mature parasites from leaving the corpse once buried (Huchet 2013). Using small details to explore the life of the artifact is a crucial part of archaeology. In the description of the scarab, it is mentioned that there are remnants of linen wrappings. This could be an indicator that the artifact was buried with a mummy, even wrapped onto one. Details such as the placing and position of the…
