Archaeology Archaeology is the scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts, fossils, settlements, and other such remains.

How do scientists determine the age of artifacts? Strata If two items are located within the same strata of the ground, they are approximately the same age

And… Carbon dating! Archaeologists measure the amount of carbon 14 (14C) remaining in artifacts or fossils. The amount remaining tells the age of the item.

Important archaeological sites Are used to: Help archaeologists understand early humans and their lifestyles. Number One Find for an archaeologist?

Homo habilis Time Period and Location 2.5-1.5 million BCE Africa

Capabilities and Skills Appearance Face like Australopithecus, but larger brain Apelike arms Capabilities and Skills Scavenger: gathered plants and ate meat First to use stone tools

Homo erectus Time Period and Location 1.6 million-30,000 BCE Asia, Africa, perhaps Europe

Your Archaeological Dig—10 pts Working individually, draw AND color an archaeological site for one of the hominids If you were an archaeologist, what kinds of artifacts/bones would you find at a site for your hominid? How could you tell it was a specific hominid? Include one item/artifact for each bullet below: Hominids’ appearance (What would give you an idea of what it looked like? How old was the hominid/what time period was it from?(What would tell you the time period? How would you know?) Location (where is your dig?) Hominids’ skills and abilities (What artifacts would help you understand what the abilities of the hominid are?) ON THE BACK—Explain in complete sentences WHY you chose these items or artifacts and how it can help you in your archaeological investigation.

Objectives The Student will know: The Student will understand: The characteristics of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Age The major advancement that led to the advancement of civilization The Student will understand: Human history has been furthered by the need to expand and protect the young. The Student will be able to: Work with a partner to determine the characteristics of the Old and New Stone Ages Compare and contrast the five hominids

Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) --begins with the start of Early Man People were nomadic Invention of the first tools Learned how to make fire Lived in clans Developed oral language Created “cave art”

And then something happened… What major advancement by man led to the advancement of civilization? Settled agriculture How did it happen? Warmer climates led to more crop growth Why did it help man? Agriculture led to permanent settlements

Neolithic Age (New Stone Age) Began about 10,000 years ago (8,000 BCE) Developed agriculture Domesticated animals Used advanced tools Made pottery Developed weaving skills Çatalhöyük: Neolithic settlement currently under excavation in Anatolia (modern Turkey)

Typical house in Çatalhöyük
