Unit 1 Overview Adapted from Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES

 Modern technology indicates that human beings originated in Africa and then migrated throughout the world.  Human beings developed from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age as they interacted with their environment and created societies.  Archaeologists are scientists that use tools to draw conclusions about early man from the sites in which they lived.  A turning point is when there is a significant change in ALL aspects of society.

 Investigate how archeologists draw conclusions and create poster  Virtual field work at Catalhoyuk  Keep an archeologists observation journal  Write an argument essay Adapted from Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES
