Linear B is a syllabic script that was used for writing Mycenaean Greek, the earliest confirmed form of Greek. The script predates the Greek alphabet by several centuries. The oldest Mycenaean writing dates to about 1450 BC. It is descended from the older Linear A, an undeciphered earlier script used for writing the Minoan language. It is also the only one of the three "Linears" to be deciphered, by English architect and self-taught linguist Michael Ventris. The script was discovered by…

one child huddled around a fire. They circled around the stone-ringed fire pit, warming their hands and faces with the heat coming from their tiny bonfire as their footprints melted into the soft clay under their feet. 13,000 years later, archaeologists have uncovered those very footprints in the soft clay. The footprints were brushed over with black sand, but still so well preserved, it is almost shocking to believe the family had gathered thousands of years ago. Though the family has long…

Prehistorical people started to build houses during Neolithic period using clay, mud, dung, and straw interwoven among wooden posts. Some better huts might have foundations made of stone, set into trenches, and supporting walls of large timbers (Stokstad, p.13). The Styles of houses were vary in different regions.

The method of doing a cross-sectional survey allowed the researchers to look at three very different groups of children which makes it easy to generalize the findings. Second, Clay, Dittmar, and Vignoles asked if specially the models as a medium would influence body image. This is a significant question because these models that are considered to be societies beauty ideal, and more importantly it is hard to ignore, these…

“Four score and seven years ago our forefathers…” (1863) this is one of the most quoted lines from a presidential speech ever. This speech was written by Abraham Lincoln on his way to address the union troops at Gettysburg. Lincoln was an amazing writer and speaker and was the first Republican president of the United States of America. Though this may not seem like an amazing feat in light of the Republican party of today, in 1860 there had never been a Republican in office. The Republican…

(Perrapirce et al. 2010). Glacier retreat in Saskatchewan left behind sediments that formed rolling glaciofuvial silts and sands, flat glaciolucutrine clays, and hummocky till (Pennock et al. 2011). In small pockets of southern Saskatchewan, the parent material was influenced from melting glaciers whose melt water formed streams and large glacial lakes (Perrapirce et al. 2010). Larger sediments such as…
