For this journal entry we were asked to compare and contrast each one of the sites using your own impressions and opinions. The three websites are Knossos, Acropolis, and Pompeii Google Project. So I took the time to look at each website and I decided Pompeii Google Project would be the most fun to explore. The reason being the display seems really normal and there seem to be a lot of open space. Pompeii was an…

in the next time period, and others times is snuffed out completely. By studying specific pieces from successive time periods, one can develop a sense for these changes of style as well as the reasoning behind them.

processing up to 1,000 years before “the beginning of systematic cultivation of domestication”(Gross, 2013, 668). Finally, Gross employs the research of Amy Bogaard who was able to use “isotopic distributions of nitrogen and carbon to demonstrate that Neolithic farmers in Europe applied manure to their fields,” instead of the earlier concepts that we ate more red meat (Gross, 2013, 669). Exportation of this trade was also a great factor of proof as Patrick McGovern argued has been relevant…
