The reading provides three theories for the purpose of the carved stone balls found at a multiplicity of locations in Scotland; however, the lecturer believes the passage's interpretation is open to dispute. She tries to refute the author's opinion by using some cogent reasons. First, the first theory argues that the carved stone balls used as weapons in hunting and fighting. On the other hand, the lecturer cast doubt on this theory by stating that the weapons used in the Neolithic period showed signs of wear; they are often found cracked and broken, but the carved stone balls are well preserved. Furthermore, the second theory holds the view that since the carved stone balls have the same radious, they may were a part of a primitive measure
Stone axes are made from steel. Knives are made from sharpened stone , particularly flint , chert, and obsidian. Bone and copper is last resorts , if used at all if is for crafts and and kitchen utensils for preparing food .

In the 7th Century AD, an important individual was buried inside a ship in East Anglia. The ship most likely hauled up from the nearby river, a burial chamber was built in the center of the massive vessel. Luckily grave robbers did not reach the ship burial as they did other nearby burial mounds, because the ship was rich in history and artifacts including gold, silver, bowls, spoons, weapons, drinking horns and much more. Originally discovered in 1939, the artifacts and ship burial have been closely examined another 2 times. The artifacts found within the magnificent burial site have created a lot of stir over the past 80 years. Theories have changed on the significance and origins of the artifacts due to changing hypothesis or the arrival of new and different evidence. Because there are dozens of artifacts within Sutton Hoo, this paper will be focusing on a select four of them including; the ‘baptismal’ spoons, the Merovingian coin hoard, the whetstone, and the scepter. According to scholars over the past 80 years, how have opinions, evidence, or assumptions changed relating to these exact artifacts? This paper will be taking a contemporary look at the perspectives of different scholars on different artifacts and, finally, analyze why these perspectives have shifted or changed over time. To my knowledge, scholars do give credit to previous perspectives, but no scholar has every brought all the perspectives together and analyzed their findings.
It says how the stone is “the token of preposterous time” meaning the rocks is what will take part of the future savagery of the boys, it is what will eventually contribute to the boys becoming savages.
Scotland has an abundance of archaeology all throughout the country and all within different parts of prehistory. Scottish archaeology has a big impact on both the rest of the UK and on the rest of Europe. Although during the beginning of the 20th century, archaeology was seen as nothing more than labour, with the help of the two great men which held ‘the Abercromby chair’ – both with their own contributions to Scottish archaeology as a whole – it soon rocketed into the discipline what we see today.
Have you ever wondered how rabbits lived? How they get food or sleep or live? This book tells you about that and it also tells of an adventure of a couple rabbits trying to find a new Warren.
The book explores various theories associated with the purpose of the: Stonehenge. The author has brought forward many theories, amongst which one is that the Stonehenge was
(Quotes: “Bobbie Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones and the other boys soon followed his example selecting the smoothest and roundest stones.” [pg147] “The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready. Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, she held her hands up desperately as the villagers moved in on her, ‘It isn’t fair,’ she said. A stone hit her on the side of the
No place has generated so much speculation and wild theories as the standing stones of Stonehenge. After traveling for miles through the rolling hills and plains of the English countryside the sight of this unusual structure made me gasp. A walk around it only provoked more strange feelings. There's a sense that this is something very important. For over 5000 years it has stood silent vigil over the
Furthermore, the excessive pride exhibited by Macbeth at the end of the play highlights the psychological annihilation caused by toxic masculinity; leading to his eventual death. He conforms to the traits viewed as traditionally male since he becomes violent and excessively prideful of his masculinity and strength, and, consequently, reaches his demise. The unwavering pride that he possesses is evident when he refuses to acknowledge Malcom’s right to the throne of Scotland and states, “I will not yield, / to kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet” (5.8, 81). The use of the words “I will not yield” exemplify Macbeth’s need for dominance because subordination correlates with being weak. Also, the act of kneeling and kissing the ground
The “who’s,” “how’s,” and “why’s” behind this majestic monument are based on many (usually conflicting) myths, guesstimates, and theories. As a result, we have no definite answers for the probing questions about Stonehenge’s existence. However, each theory grants the Neolithic monument its character and mystique, as well as society’s best guesses as to its true origin and purpose. Therefore, I shall proceed to discuss both the fantastical and probable theories behind the mystery of Stonehenge.
Looking at an artifact’s physical attributes is always the first step to uncovering the archaeological significance
Secondly, bows and arrows were most likely used for protection purposes. The two tools are occasionally made from wood and have been in use for a long period of
There are manifold stone tool industries, however there are two especially prevalent technocomplexes; the Oldowan and the Acheulean. Although perhaps not the most intricate instances of implement development, they are the oldest and describe their creators’ lifestyles; information that would otherwise be all but lost. The gradual evolution of these tools over millions of years portray a clear change in the users acclimatisation to new and varied environments, as well as their cultural adaptations. This essay will aim to analyse, through comparison, the varying behavioural adaptations of early Homonins, taking into account the factors of diet, ranging patterns, and the development of social behaviour.
Who is one to say when your life ends? If you are religious then God makes that call, but if you are not then your death is just a matter of time and waiting. When a human being, whether a criminal or not, is put into that electric chair and strapped away from their rights minutes before they are consciously aware that they are about to die, that is when you know that as humans we have failed. What’s even worse is that if you are dark skinned, or your income isn’t greater than or equal to that of an NFL player or something as stupid as recklessness’s on the governments part, that is when the light bulb should light on in everyone’s little heads and say “You know what?”, capital punishment is disgusting, inhumane, and straight up wrong.
“Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on," she said. "Hurry up."( (Jackson)
