and 12,3000 BP. These people were very mobile, covering large areas of land in migration towards America. These people later on also moved even more southbound towards South America. The Clovis people were most well known for their incredible new age stone technology, primarily being the Clovis point. This is the most notorious weapons during this time era in early American history. The first Clovis point was drawn up 14,000 years ago in the Americas where these people lived. These people really…

such as harpoons, cleavers, chisels, spears, and hand axes are used even today for fishing and the cutting of trees or animals. Over the years these tools have advanced from being made of stones and sticks to being made of strong metals smelted together. On page 3 it states "following the end of the Ice Age, however, communities in some parts of the world began to domesticate plants and animals; hunters and gathers gradually became farmers and producers." During the Mesolithic and…

Paleolithic era, during which people used stone, bone, and other natural products to make tools and gained food largely by foraging (6). In other words, the society was hunters and gatherers. Men hunted animals to provide food for the family, occasionally it takes days to hunt animals and may not even come home with one. However women were gatherers generally had easy access through food such as plants and limited animals, but it was a steady source for the group to survive. The way of life was…

women who could stay at home and help with children since the average age of life was between their late twenties and early thirties. An article written by Jane Peterson, states that, “The mean age at death for men increased by two years over time (35.5 vs. 37.6 years), while the mean age at death for women decreased between the Natufian and Neolithic periods (32.2 vs. 30.1 years) (Eshed et al. 2004b) … the decrease in mean age at death for Neolithic females may be the result of higher levels of…

Over 8,000 years ago in what is now present day Jordan, there lived Stone Age hunters. Around 8,000 BC the hunters began farming and living in organized villages. During the Bronze Age, they lived in fortified towns and soon trade routes began to pass through Jordan because of its proximity to two booming trade routes that ran through Egypt and Iraq. Jordan also shares borders with Israel, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. After 1500 BC Jordan divided into organized kingdoms of which included the three…

Patriarchy, “the social structure in which men are considered to have a monopoly on power and women are to submit”(The Origins of Patriarchy), is a belief of many during ancient times where there is a difference of power between males and females. The start of patriarchy is seem to have begun between the Mesolithic Era and Neolithic Era and has developed further on causing great inequality and suffering to women. Many factors has led to this great division in sex, but the two main causes was the…

Sophia Nguyen Period 5 Chapter 1 Document 1. I feel that Nisa’s account of her life helps with understanding the much earlier Paleolithic people is very helpful because it gives a first person perspective on the life of a person living in a hunting-gathering society, like the Paleolithic people. Because Nisa doesn’t get much exposure to people outside her society, communicating with others was especially more important to her. 2. To Nisa, sex was very important to her because she didn’t want to…

seemed to be very well organized and a have VERY advanced society. They even buried the dead beneath their houses... sounds extremely terrifying to me. Men and women were equal in the labor department and they both had low life expectancies. In the Stone Age we have evidence of tool making hominids from about 2 million years ago. Most of these human societies consisted of hunters and gathers which were constantly on the move. They had no significant material possessions because there…

The Archaic Era was a very important era in the world. It started about 2,500- 10,000 years ago (Schultz 2014). Agriculture became the primary source of living during this time. It made many populations grow larger. It made food supplies become more obtainable and the groups no longer depended on hunting. It made the modern world learn the importance of farming and growing your own crops. The reason many people believe that this is the most significant in Prehistory, because it showed the world…
