Question 7
  • During the Paleolithic Era what covered most of
    the northern part of the world? How did people
    survive?

5
  • The northern part of the world was covered with

    environment.

6
Question 3
  • People who hunted animals and found plants to
    supply their needs

7
  • Hunter-gatherers

8
Question 9
  • What technological advances did people make in
    the Stone Age over time? (In both the Old New
    Stone Age)

9
  • They developed new and better types of tools
    (sharp-edged stones).
  • Their techniques for making tools improved
    (flaking, notching, long distance weapons).
  • They learned to use coppoer to make stronger
    tools.
  • They learned to control fire.
  • They learned to domesticate plants animals
    produced agriculture.

10
Question 2
  • A culture that has developed systems of
    specialization, religion, learning and government

11
  • civilization

12
Question 10
  • What surplus items were made by people in Catal
    Huyuk?

13
  • The main surplus was food.
  • Craftspeople made surplus crafts they could trade
    (fine clay pots, woven cloth, jewelry, mirrors
    and knives made of obsidian.

14
Question 18
  • A paleobotanist is

15
  • one who studies ancient plant remains and
    fossils.

16
Question 11
  • Why did people travel to the city of Catal Huyuk?

17
  • People went to Catal Huyuk to trade goods.
  • Farmers would trade their crops for other items
    that they needed and craftspeople would trade
    their precious commodities for food.

18
Question 13
  • The word archaeology comes from the Greek
    language and means?

19
  • To study what is ancient

20
Question 12
  • Where is the city of Catal Huyuk located?

21
  • on the banks of the Carsamba River in Southern
    Turkey

22
Question 21
  • Why did Professor Spindlers conclusion about the
    age of the Ice Mummy shock scientists around the
    world?

23
  • Nothing like this had ever been found before.
  • The discovery changed scientists beliefs about
    how long a body could survive in ice.
  • It presented science and the world with a man who
    was more than 5,000 years old.
  • It provided us with a collection of artifacts
    that were priceless clues to our past ( to
    understanding the New Stone Age.

24
Question 5
  • The skills and tools we use to solve practical
    problems

25
  • technology

26
Question 14
  • What aspects of life may be of interest to
    archaeologists?

27
  • Examples include
  • How people lived - the tools they used, the work
    they did, the pottery they created, their belief
    systems, their language, their medicine, the food

    they wore, and the purpose of their buildings.

28
Question 4
  • An extra supply of something like food

29
  • surplus

30
Question 15
  • Why is a midden important to the study of
    archaeology?

31
  • By interpreting the everyday artifacts people
    have left behind, archaeologists can learn a
    great deal about the day-to-day lives of our
    ancestors
  • i.e. the food eaten, dishes and utensils used,
    pastimes, etc.

32
Question 8
  • Where did archaeologists find what may have been
    the first tools used by humans?

33
  • In the Great Rift Valley, in Africa
  • (Border Cave, Blombos Cave)

34
Question 16
  • Layer of ruin caused by enemy attack, fire, or
    natural disaster such as an earthquake or
    volcanic activity

35
  • Destruction Layer

36
Question 17
  • A Paleographer is

37
  • one who studies ancient inscriptions and
    documents.

38
Question 20
  • What conclusions were forensic scientists/archaeol
    ogists able to make about the Ice Mans lifestyle
    based on the human body remains?

39
  • Einkorn found (wheat not native to Europe)
    suggests that ice mummy had contact with an
    agricultural community demonstrates preliminary
    trade/bartering.
  • tiny particles of charcoal attached to the bran
    illustrates that the bread was probably baked on
    a hot rock.
  • tiny muscle fiber and a burned bit of bone is
    evidence that the Iceman might also have eaten
    meat.
  • Eggs of human whipworm found
  • the pollen found meant that the Iceman was almost
    certainly in the valley within half a day of his
    death at least 5 or 6 hours before.

40
Question 22
  • The Ice Man lived during the ____________ Era.

41
  • The New Stone Age or the Neolithic Era

42
Question 23
  • What conditions in Border Cave most likely
    preserved the ancient seeds and leaves for so
    many thousand of years?

43
  • The caves were cool and possibly very dry.
  • If it had been warm and damp, these items would
    have decayed long ago.

44
Question 24
  • How did agriculture change the way people adapted
    to their environment?

45
  • People stayed in one place (they developed
    permanent settlements) and developed better crops
    and animals.

46
Question 25
  • Farmers learned which wheat would yield the most
    grain, and planted it. They also bred wild sheep
    to produce sheep that had thicker layers of wool.
    This is an example of

47
  • Domestication

48
Question 19
  • This archaeologist studies human body remains to
    determine such things as diet, health, age and
    disease

49
  • Forensic Archaeologist
