Among the artifacts available on the second floor of the museum there are bows and arrows. Moreover, a visitor can see sharp stones in the collection of artifacts; these are familiar to those that were used in the Stone Age. Most of the stones resemble the Oldowan tools that were found in Lokalalei in Kenya; some other also resemble the Hand axe found in Bose in China.

Evidence of almost 100 of the stones has revealed without the need to excavate the site, due to remote sensing, ground-penetrating radar and geographical imaging technologies. These advancements in science and technology allow researchers to discover the historical monuments full extent. Fragments of bones, stones and the foundation pits in which they were situated have all been uncovered during excavations and technological mapping indicating the true size and importance the site was to the Neolithic

Anthropology is the study of humans in the past and present. Four subfields encompass anthropology; Archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and physical anthropology. Archaeology is the study of human cultures in the past through material remains. These material remains include artifacts as well as architecture. Archaeologist can focus in prehistoric, historic, or classical archaeology. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, is an example of archaeology in film. It is not the best example since Dr. Jones does not carry the correct equipment with him in the field (notebooks, trowel, shovel) nor does he take any notes when removing an artifact from a site. However, the film does portray how an archaeologist would dig in order to recover artifacts, like when Indy and the team find the

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a practice utilized throughout the world to memorialize soldiers who have died in modern wars without being identified. The first monument of this kind was the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers in Frederica, Denmark (1858), which memorialized unknown soldiers who died in the First War of Schleswig.

The settlers at Jamestown made contact with Native Americans through many artifacts such as the bill, shot, archaic point, celts, and Roanoke Simple Stamped Pot. The bill was used as an agricultural tool to prune trees and slash brush in the 16th century for England. For the Native Americans, the bill was useful for guerilla warfare and soon engaged with the Virginians. The shot was used for a falconet, or a six foot long gun weighing more than 500 pounds. The Native Americans and Chief Powhatan were offered these tiny circular iron balls and took them as a gift. The archaic point was made from quartzite. Before the english landed on the hill of james Fort, the Native Americans provided fish and starchy resources. This point was made from the

Fort Riley is a military installation that is in the Geary, Riley, and Clay counties in Kansas.

It is located in the northeastern part of the state and is only an hour away from Topeka, the state’s capital. Many portions of the fort are along the Kansas River and the Republican River. Around the fort is mostly agricultural or rural.

Fort Monroe, Virginia, has been a major post of the U.S. Army for over 166 years.

It was the crown jewel of America’s defense and was built at a great expense following the British invasion during the War of 1812 and named after President James Monroe. Fort Monroe was a vital piece in America’s defense and history.

Fossils grant us opportunity of understanding about species which no longer exist on Earth- that are extinct. The prehistoric remains inform us about plants and

Fort Donelson, Tennessee, guarding the Cumberland River, became the site of the first major Confederate defeat in the Civil War. Victory at Donelson started Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant on his road to Appomattox and the White House. His cool judgment under pressure saved the day after the Confederates threatened to break his troop lines, yet errors by his opponents handed him a victory that he did not fully earn on his own.

1A: We can examine painting that ancient artists drew, the homes they built, the tools they had, listen to oral history, and much more. There is indeed a benefit to studying history in this way, since it gives a hands-on account of what was there 12,000 years ago, allowing us to see and deduce for ourselves how ancient civilizations operated.

How do we recapture the lives of people who left no written record? If a pot is found in the middle of the woods, how do we determine how it got there? From what clues can we unlock the history behind that pot? Are artifacts a reliable source of factual information? It’s through artifacts uncovered, put together with written documentation, that we can tell the story of the way people lived. With the Jamestown Rediscovery, artifacts are analyzed and put together with written documentation to piece together the story of what happened to the people of Jamestown. Through such artifacts such as clothing materials, the bones of animals, and the remains of the teenage girl names “Jane”, we can scientifically couple the evidence to learn about the early settlement on the James River.

It turned into expanded again and again with the aid of adding more guns, traverses and bomb proofs. Obstructions and sooner or later torpedoes (mines)finished the riverine defenses.

Although, even before the Indian Massacre of 1622, archeologist were looking for any signs that something was done here. It could be a piece of pottery or even soothing that belong on clothing, something to show that there was occupancy on that particular plot of land. The same could be said for the massacre, where the accounts about the Indians really what archeologist said they were or

The answer is complex. Historians such as Kevin Levin, proposes this question to the public through his website and attempts, through public comment and interaction, to address the topic. The website, Civil War Memory, allows the public to converse with Levin and hatch out some of the major issues surrounding the topic. Levin discusses in his post, “Why do we preserve so much Civil War Battlefield land?” about how this topic has a social action factor (Levin, 2015). The identity, integrity, and human relationship with these sites go beyond the memory and interpretation, but complied leaves a quality, the “preservation of a preservation”, that it unique to Civil War sites (Linenthal, 1993: 89). There were various circumstances surrounding the foundation of the American Civil, however, one of the major issues concerning President Abraham Lincoln was that of preservation; preserving liberty and preserving the Union. With the ‘south’ succeeding from the Union and the Confederate States of American becoming an aggressive government opposition, the preservation of the nation was of utter concern. In a special session to Congress in 1861, President Lincoln spoke in reference to the war, saying, “so viewing the issue, no choice was left but to call out the war power of the Government; and so to resist force, employed for its destruction,
