Archaeological dating is a very important technique in the field of archaeology and anthropology. Not only does it reveal important information about an artifact or site, but it more importantly reveals the age/era and time period in which a certain item existed or a certain event took place. Once the age of an item or site is discovered, a lot of information regarding a certain culture’s traditions, practices, and lifestyles are revealed. Also, dating artifacts/sites allows archeologists to further
Examining excavated artifacts can tell researchers a lot about the people who left them behind. The artifacts can hint at characteristics such as how people lived, what time period they were from, what they ate, and how their families were structured. The identification of the three bags of artifacts was completed by utilizing artifacts that helped to infer the time period it was from. Bag one contained seven artifacts that were dug up in Missouri. The items included were a tab from a can, a

taphonomy and site formation processes has really revolutionized the way archaeologists are able to reconstruct the past. A specific interest in taphonomy has led to an increase in preservation and interpretation of the archaeological record (Rick et al., 2006). Rick and colleagues (2006) examined taphonomy and site formation on California’s Channel Islands, a site inhabited by humans for over 12,000 calendar years. California’s Channel Islands contains thousands of archaeological sites with dense
and the 11th century BC which includes the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth dynasties of Egypt (Long 2015: 39). In 1979 an organization known as the Theban Mapping Project was organized to strategically catalogue the present and available archaeological record of the Theban Necropolis in the Valley of the Kings. “The TMP’s goal is to establish a historical and contemporary record of all monuments … and to prepare detailed topographical maps, architectural plans and surveys of their history and
rise to economic changes based on the archaeological evidence (Hiscock, 2008). Discussions in the 1970’s and 1980’s within both sides of the debate indicate population change, behavior change and natural processes to be the large determining factors (Attenbrow, 2004). Many archaeologists accepted there was a continuing increase over time in the number of archaeological sites established and used, as well as in the number of artefacts accumulated in individual sites, particularly in the past 5000 years
such as training students, for conversation purposes or community work. Excavation is also used to rescue sites, an example of this is a new building development and remains will be destroyed in the build. Excavations are
major component for many years when it comes to studying human activity and remains of the past and has been used in different areas around the world. There are also many different forms or types of archeology. An important form of archeology is archaeological science or also known as archaeometry. Archaeometry helps narrow down what time period something was created, died or how long it has been around. You are able to study and look back at human activity such as trade routes and diets. With these
artefacts created, transformed and discarded by humans. Archaeological material is the record of human presence and activities and thus a source of information of the social past. Historical texts however, are the discontinuous process of making information permanent with the objective being to impart the text with contemporaries and future masses. Where it is present therefore, historical texts can border into the assemblage of unceasing archaeological evidence (Tabaczynski 1993:3). In the medieval period
1. Examine the difference between material and nonmaterial culture in your world. Identify ten objects that are part of your regular cultural experience. For each, then identify what aspects of nonmaterial culture (values and beliefs) that these objects represent. What has this exercise revealed to you about your culture?

downloads that we receive from online people to people file-sharing programs. While there are a few sites out there that offer this kind of pay-per-view service, I choose to specifically focus on the site Movielink.com because it is backed by five major Media Corporations comprised of Universal, Sony, Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, Paramount, and Warner Brothers. For this reason, it was the ideal internet site to explore to show the recent trend towards getting new movies online, even if only for a short time

Good Sites For King Arthur The key to finding useful information on the Web is to know which websites are the most useful and informative.

of my teacher, friend & obviously with the help of ICT* (Internet). I researched through the Internet & found many helpful sites to complete my report. Search engines such as www.google.com has helped me to find the relevant sites for my report. I used some information from http://www.thekjs.essex.sch.uk/yates/it08_-_9.htm to complete my report. There are also some other sites from which the information has been taken. I have also acquired* some information from the PC World magazine to learn about
their opinions out to millions of Internet surfers. Some sites offer on-line help to religious practitioners with questions about their particular religion. Other sites are just plain fact giving information and explaining a particular type of religion. Then there are sites that try to lure you into joining their religion, and even some cults that are trying to gain new, vulnerable members.

Today, I am going to go through a few sites relating to Geoffrey Chaucer and his book The Canterbury Tales and give examples of good and bad sites relating to them. One fantastic site that is on the web is The Litrix Reading

Contests would also draw students from around the world to such a site. Daily winners to trivia or knowledge contests, all with some educational component involved, could win prizes supplied by the site's advertisers. Another important element, the aspect of customization, would also draw students to the site. An abundance
Investigation of River Gwaun Introduction I am investigating how the course of the river changes from the source to the mouth. I will study the River Gwaun at 4 sites, starting at Gellifawr (near the source), then going to Pontfaen, then Llanychaer, then finally ending at Lower Fishguard, near the mouth where the river meets the Irish Sea. I went to do my fieldwork on the 20th May 2002 with my Geography class and another from my year. I was in a group of 5, with Richard Gledhíll
