Ice Age Sheds

The main point of this article is to talk about the findings of the 59th Unnamed Cave in Florida. This cave is interesting because there are very few sites in Florida. This was only one out of the two sites that had rock art in them that is in the state of Florida. I really like this article because instead of just talking about what they see in the petroglyph, the authors actually highlighted the engravings so that it is easier for the readers to see what they are talking about. The other articles I have read only talked about the engraving but they did not really highlighted the engraving which makes it very hard for the reader to see what they were talking about. Another good point of this article is that they showed a comparison between the older cave engraving versus the new engraving. By adding this information it help the reader understand the difference between the two time frame that the engraving was marked. One of the things that I wished this article would have is the radio carbon dating section. The other articles I read about all have some type of radio carbon dating to try to date when the site were occupied. This article only talked about the ceramic sherds that they

The three articles that are featured in this essay are Traditional Turns into trendy in Guatemala’s finest clothing shops, and Skeleton dating back to the ice age sheds light on native American origins, and finally Digging out a lost cities secrets. The Traditional Turns into trendy in Guatemala’s finest clothing shops article is about todays come back in old cultural Mayan and ancient clothing and shoes and how many people are getting a part of this back coming trend. The second article, Skeleton dating back to the ice age sheds light on native American origins is about scientists finding a cranium in an underwater cave in 2007. They discovered that the ancient bones were around 12,000 to 13,000 years old. It also tells you about how there

Archaeologists are now able to come together with natives and learn about the past as a team, getting more insight into ceremonials, traditions, sacred ritueals, everyday workings, and lifestyles of native peoples. Respecting the grounds and artifacts of these indigenous people is respecting their heritage- our universal heritage. The unfolding of information allows archaeologists to gain perspective on the people and land before the white

The first article is called Digging Out a Lost City’s Secret. It’s basically about Teotihuacan remains found by archaeologists. Many possessions resembling boxes filled with shells, jaguar remains, and rubber balls. The second article is called Skeleton Dating Back to the Ice Age Sheds Light on Native American Origins. Briefly, the previously mentioned article is about a young girl who died 12,000 to 13,000 years ago in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula by divers diving in the area. The last article is called Guatemala’s Finest Clothing Shops. It is pretty much about Guatemalan trends working ways into design studios to make shoes, night gowns, and purses. The one that states more informational facts, in my opinion, would be the second article, Skeleton Dating Back to the Ice Age Sheds Light on Native American Origins.

Although, no credible information regarding burials has been discovered, Headrick claims the highest-ranking ancestors underwent mortuary bundles, a treatment in which their remains are wrapped in assemblages (chapter 3). Mortuary bundles have not been found at Teotihuacan, thus, Headricks supports her claims by presenting information regarding mortuary bundles found in the Classical Maya and the Mixtec. Assimilating information about the treatment in those cultures and the discovery of the three stone masks, Headrick proposes that stone masks were likely tied to mortuary bundles as they are largely depicted in the city’s artistic record (chapter 3). Moreover, Headrick further supports her claim by comparing an archeological find of a ceramic bust with a mask to a similar one elsewhere in Mesoamerica (chapter 3). Headrick’s argument regarding mortuary bundles is convincing and the evidence to support her claim is

For instance, if you want to know something about their military, which a lot of people want to. I hope their daily life, for example, the how they made the steam was in the text it says, “ Water was poured over hot stones to generate steam.”. Government an example is It was the law that kids had to go to school. professions another example is Tenochtitlan was the Aztec's capitol city. city the second to last example in the article is The Aztecs were ruled by an emperor, who lived in the palace in the capital city. The last example is and the floating gardens are.The gardens were used to grow chili peppers, corn, tomatoes, beans, and squash.I hope this was enough information to help you

Central American Identities are very diverse thanks to the cultural production and historical context of the tradition and customs of Central American people. Central American people express diversity through their very unique culinary practices, such as: dress codes, social relationships and in the arts and humanities. Nonetheless we still can’t fully define culture in a permanent way since it’s always ever-changing for every group. As of today, Central America is made up of many different groups of people, such as: the Maya, Nahuat, Lenca, and other indigenous groups. These groups show significant variability in terms of social organization, religion and culture that form the modern

The seal seemed to shed his skin of silky black fur. The shape before me was not his true shape. Suddenly, there on the rocks stood a large, naked and powerful man. Had she now completely lost her mind, or could the local legends of the seals being Selkies be true?

For instance, the articles illustrate the colorful and extravagant paintings and potteries of the Native American culture. The pictures in the articles depict the lifestyles of Native Americans back in the days in comparison to today’s form of dressing. The Native Peoples Magazine can attract just about any individual who desires to learn more about a culture before visiting. It showcases the different dishes and places that an individual will encounter if he or she ever plans to visit. Thus, a result may be that an individual may familiarize himself/herself with the way of life and adapt to what could possibly be meaningful to the Native Americans. The Native Peoples Magazine also depicts traditional cars of the culture and books of known authors. Without even realizing, one might feel integrated into the Native American culture without physically being present.

In the early 1980s, modern vertebrate paleontology and geology was applied to the question. Studies showed that various portions of the 'corridor' were blocked by ice from between 30,000 to at least 11,500 BP (i.e., during and for a long while after the Last Glacial Maximum). Since sites in Alberta are less than 11,000 years old, colonization of Alberta occurred from the south, and not along the so-called ice free corridor. Further doubts about the corridor began to arise in the late 1980s when sites older than 12,000 years (such as Monte Verde, Chile) began to be discovered; and clearly, people who lived at Monte Verde could not have used an ice free corridor to get there.

Over the years, the topic of climate change is discussed more frequently, and virtually everyone has their own stance on it. The source of the changing climate is believed to be from the excess carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. Since climate change is such a complex topic, experts are often consulted for their vast knowledge in their respected fields. Climate change can be seen in many different parts of nature, but the documentary Chasing Ice focuses mainly on the glacial movement of various patches of ice in many different locations. The documentary is directed by Jeff Orlowski and follows the journey of photographer James Balog and his crew attempting to obtain evidence of climate change. Balog and his team trek through treacherous terrain and environments in order to set up time-lapse stations that take pictures of glaciers. The pictures were stitched together to create presentations that would show the effects of climate change. Orlowski uses elements of rhetoric in Chasing Ice through the use of facts, data, experts, and the overcoming major roadblocks in an attempt to influence global warming skeptics. Even though the use of these methods connect well, the lack of focus on a specific topic, the absence of acknowledgement of other perspectives, and the dreary delivery of the content prevented the documentary from having any real impact on the intended audience of elderly. As a result, the documentary just

The main archeological site within the film is San Lorenzo which is in the modern-day state of Veracruz. The main Olmec culture that seems to be the focus within the film seems to be about the production of the large Olmec head statues. The first interesting fact I received from the film was that the Olmec were the first to establish a civilization within Mesoamerica. The second interesting fact from the film was that archeologist considered the Olmec that mother culture of Central America. The third thing I thought was interesting was the fact that Olmec artifacts were found hundreds to thousands of miles away from San Lorenzo. They were able to trace some of these artifacts because of the tar that these artifacts were made from. The way that

The dream of most archaeologists is to find something that is well preserved in order to retrieve all of the needed information. The finding of a 7 year old boy mummy up in the Aconcagua Mountains was exactly what archaeologist hope to find. The Aconcagua boy is a well preserved mummy whom was found back in summer of 1985 by hikers whom happened to just stumble upon this well preserved mummy (“The complete mitogenome…”). These hikers were not aware of the significance of their finding, and all the information that could be retrieved from this mummified boy. Archaeologist soon came to find, after observing this mummy that he had been part of a ritual known as the “capachoca” that the Inca used to take part in. The ritual only scarified children to their gods

The Mayan people of the Yucatan Peninsula have endured great changes over their history, but many changes have occurred more recently as documented in the book by Cindy Hull. During a study in which she lived in Yaxbe for several decades, Hull examined the effects that this change has had on the people of the village and the Mayan people at large. Initially, Hull found that much was different about living with the people because she was used to the US Midwest. She was not used to the diet or to the family structure she found among the people, but she quickly adjusted to the changes and became a member of the village. Her task while she was there was to discover the social structure of the clan and how the culture has changed over time. She conducted a longitudinal study (one in which she became an integral member of the tribe) because she wanted to understand the people from a basal level. She believed that, despite the differences to what she experienced in her normal life, that the hardships she would face would get her closer to understanding the culture she was studying.

The speaker of the event at the Latino Cultural Center was Dr. Rodrigo Liendo Stuardo who is from the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. He has done important research revolving around Mayan civilization. “Over the past nine years […] we have built a regional database with which to begin to understand the nature and degree of integration of rural settlements regarding major leading centers in the region of Palenque, Chiapas and thus know in greater detail the possible effects that the process of urbanization in Palenque occurred in their peripheral communities” (UNAM,). He also obtained his doctorial in archeology in the University of Pittsburg (UNAM).
