Assignment 1 Product Archaeology Summary

The LG NET 10 TracFone has several key components. The phone is composed of a keypad, screen, battery, circuit board, and a casing. These components come together to allow the phone to connect globally. The phone was engineered to optimize economic and social factors. The phone was constructed to be sold affordably.

The Neolithic Revolution was a time just after the Paleolithic Era. The people during the Neolithic Revolution were beginning to advance with many things including the ability to be able to farm and make their own foods. The Paleolithic Era, on the other hand, was much different. The people during this time were less advance and depended on animals and edible foods to get their nutrition. Just because of that, the people of the Paleolithic Era would live their lives far shorter than the people of the Neolithic Revolution. Although the Paleolithic Era was very important, the Neolithic Revolution by far introduced more advanced technology and ways of living.

The unpainted potteries called utility ware that is used as cooking pots, holding stew or mush made of corn, bean, dried squash and pieces of meat.

Although weapons have had major effect in society in the past and the present, I think that tools were more important in creating communities that led to civilization. Since the Paleolithic Age, humans used tools for hunting and obtaining their food source. They also used a variety of other tools, such as: stone tools for cleaning animal hides, spears for catching fish, and needles for sewing clothes. Tools could also have been used to make art. Tools also had an important impact in the Neolithic Revolution. Humans used stone axes to clear trees for farming, which had an important effect in the transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to an agricultural way of life. Additionally, tools helped communities advance into civilization because

skeleton remains. It consisted of adults, a teenager, and children with lethal hits to the skulls, broken legs (at the shin), these people were either tortured or mutilated shortly after death.

The media has a big impact on today’s generation due to its accessibility. Anyone could pick up a book from the library, stroll along to the movies, or simply go on the web to search for relevant information happening in today’s world. Archaeology is widely used in several forms of media such as books, comics, television series, movies, and the news. While the media exposes and educates its audience, can their information be trusted? Although the goal of some news outlets such as Fox News and CNN is to provide relevant information to their audience, how accurate are those information? In this paper, we will examine how archaeology is represented in several news outlets such as Fox News, New York Times, CNN and NBC News, and if the information

On May 9th, 2016, the Boston University Archaeology Department held a public outreach event called, “Eating Archaeology”, where guests were served foods from four different time periods and places: Bronze-age Mycenae, Bronze-age China, Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, specifically the Aztecs, and mid-19th century Boston. The creation of these dishes was made possible through analyzing archaeological sites through the lens of the newly popularized sub-field, archaeology of the senses, which studies how the materiality of the world contributes to and is influenced by how humans use their senses (Hamilakis 4). Through analyzing the bodily senses, archaeologists can create a more detailed interpretation of the experiences of ancient humans (Hamilakis i). This new interest in the sensory aspect of human culture brings a fascination with the types of foods that people consumed in the past. With this in mind, a group of graduate students in the fields of archaeology, food history, and gastronomy, at Boston University, collaborated to test if material remains can be used to recreate ancient recipes. Through eating these foods, one can glimpse a part of the culture that ate the dish, illustrating the power of taste, and demonstrating that archaeology can be used to create something tangible for the public. This paper will focus on the research process for the mid-19th century brothel site, located in Boston, and how the materials gathered during excavation were used to reconstruct the

Archaeology offers us a very unique perspective on human history and their culture which has contributed immensely to our understanding of both the ancient and the recent past. Archaeology helps us to understand not only when and where people lived on this earth but also why and how they lived. It examines the changes and causes of changed which have occurred in human cultures over time, it seeks patterns and explanations of patterns which explain everything from how and when people first came to inhabit this world.

Ancient Roman pottery revolutionized household pots and pans developing an arrange of table ware. The Roman art began with Etruscan-style pottery, all black, molded decorations on ceramic pieces, unlike Greek pieces which was painted on. Pottery was manufactured near where the demand for the product was for easy access. For example, areas in Southern Italy typical used black slip with a red fabric over. For identification of trade, certain inscriptions and symbols were stamped into the pieces. The Romans commonly used what is known as Black Glaze pottery. Other techniques of ceramic ware were known as Thin Walled and Lead-Glazed ware. Mass production of the ceramic pieces using plaster molds became an extremely efficient and cheap way to

Archaeological ceramics is the most prolific relics that have been studied to expand our understanding of past cultures. Archaeological study based on the investigation of pottery shape, color, decoration style and materials that can give a plenty of information regarding typological and invaluable information, dating and provenance. The study of the mineralogical properties of ceramics plays a vital role to understand the previous technologies. However, the manufacturing techniques, cleaning of the clays, adding of the temper, and shaping of objects, firing atmosphere can significantly change the mineralogical composition of the ceramic objects. In addition to this, the life cycle of ceramics and its usage and post-depositional modifications are also important and can help to change the mineralogical constitution. Although, nowadays

Ancient Merchandise are usually studied in terms of their relationship to the Western world. Based on the Persian books of stones, or jahavirnama, turquoise stone or known as “sky-blue stone” was used during Safavid Empire to make studded flasks, helmets, scabbards, and other artifacts; it also used at palaces and mosques. Turquoise came mostly from mines outside the eastern Persian city of Nishapur. Miners extracted hunks of aluminum-copper phosphate, which were then polished by hand and traded or given up as honor. Turquoise was not a currency, because it’s value was different considerably from region to region. This Carved stone was also a chosen stone among Buddhists some Christians. During Safavid,

With the evolution of available technologies and methodologies, some archaeologists became frustrated with the traditional ways of archaeology; they felt that the new technologies should be used to improve archaeology and the outcomes of professionals in the field. The New Archaeology was a movement that sought to contribute to the existing anthropological knowledge of human behavior by emerging as a science and separating itself from the historical approach. New archaeology did not merely incorporate scientific technology, but it also employed various scientific methods and approaches.

Throughout class so far we have discussed many archaeological schools of thought, some much more intelligible than others. The archaeological schools of thought I will discuss are Culture History Archaeology, Processual Archaeology and Post-Processual Archaeology.

LG has produced an exclusive mobile phone, The LG “K10”. A revolutionary new device incorporating high-end design and features for a relatively low cost to consumers.
