Stone circles can be found all around the United Kingdom. These structures range in size and most commonly hold connections to folkloric tales or practices, and are usually regarded as being sacred. Many theories have been crafted over time concerning stone circles. However, their true known origins are vague and open for interpretation, which makes them a complex topic to discuss and research. By linking stone circles in various places in the United Kingdom and their connections to folktales,…

Preface: The topic selected and discussed within the paper is the deliberation over the evolution of Greek pottery. This topic was chosen in order to display a timeline of Greek pottery throughout history dating back to the Neolithic age with polychrome pottery and ranging up to the Classical period with red-figure style pottery. The importance of this topic is to help individuals identify commonly known Greek pottery styles, where they are from, and what time do they date back to in Greek…

paintings unlike Neolithic people. When living in these villages Paleolithic people depended tremendously on their environment. Paleolithic people made many kinds of tools during their time. They made wooden weapons and light stone tools that were not sharpened. The tools and weapons consisted of harpoons, axes, lances, choppers and awls. During the time of surviving for the Paleolithic people they were surprisingly healthy. Paleolithic people were healthier than Neolithic people. The life…

constructed by the Neolithic people from 3,000 BCE to 1,520 BCE, approximately 5,000 years ago. It is in the Salisbury plain in Wiltshire, England, and is one of the most famous prehistoric artifacts in Europe. It was rebuilt in various stages due to changing styles and beliefs but actual reasons why it was built are still a mystery today ("Stonehenge.” Britannica School). Stonehenge is significant because of how it was made, what it was used for, and what it shows us about the Neolithic…

used a lot in the Neolithic Era. They found a way to get food without having to look everywhere. This also resulted in a food surplus. Deforestation-where trees and plants in forests are cut and/or burnt down for human needs. Prominent in the Neolithic Era and this also resulted in a food surplus. Pastoralism-The agricultural branch of farming that includes the domestication and herding of animals. Pastoralism caused people from the Paleolithic era to change to the Neolithic era, because it…

Question 1 Summarize the “vicious circle of agriculture” and “human-plant entanglements,” and their role in how archaeologists approach the origins of food production, sedentary lifeways, and social complexity. When there are conflicts in the world, the food insecurity significantly gets increased and if the world population is food insecure, the conflicts hardly could be prevented. This entire process unfortunately becomes a vicious circle of agriculture. Human-plant entanglements are often…

The revolution I chose to discuss out of the two was the Neolithic Revolution. Two archaeological theories I best chose on why these Revolutions occurred through change over time was, V. Gordon Chlide's "Oasis theory" and the "Edge zone theory" by Lewis Binford and Kent Flannery. These two theories show the possible reasons for adopting farming and domesticating animals where and why they did. For example, in Chlide's "Oasis theroy" he tells us that he believed the period of dry weather in…

History has seen its fair share of great architectural works, from the Roman Colosseum and the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt, to the more modernized Casa Batlló of Barcelona and the Empire State Building of New York. These pinnacles of architecture helped define their societies with their exterior beauty and their underlying meaning. But, there is one monument in particular that to this day, that has still not been fully understood in regards to its origin and meaning. This monument is one…
