    Topic Detail
    Analyzing Artifacts (human made objects) can be broken down into main categories.
    Artifacts and Organic materials (remnants of living things such as plants and animals)
    Dating Inorganic remains (store tools or pottery)
    Theories The best preserved organic artifacts are found in
    Hot, dry regions (deserts)
    Freezing conditions (arctic regions)
    Waterlogged place
    1. Peat bogs are acidic in nature which causes bones to decay but preserves flesh; thus
    remarkably preserved boneless bodies are sometimes found
    2. He bottom of the sea covered by silt

    Human skeletal remains prevent special challenges to archaeologists:


    Age and gender
    Paleopathology (study of ancient diseases)
    Weapons, wounds and accidents

    Dating Artifacts
    Stratigraphy
    Study of ground layers of a civilization
    Based on the archaeological principles that the oldest artifacts are found deeper in ground
    Radioactive Dating
    Each radioactive elements decays at its own nearly constant rate
    Once this rate is known scientist can estimate the length of time over which decay has been
    occurring by measuring the amount of radioactive parent element
    Each radioactive isotope has its own unique ½ life each radioactive isotope. The ½ life is the
    time it takes for half of parent radioactive element decay to a daughter product

    Radioactive parent Stable Daughter Half Life


    Carbon 14 (C-14) Nitrogen 14 (N-14) 5730 years
    Potassium 40 (K-40) Argon 40 (Ar-40) 1.2 billion years
    Uranium 238 (U-238) Lead (Pb-206) 4.47 billion years
    Thorium 232 (Th-232) Lead 208 (Pb-208) 14 billion years
    Rubidium 87 (Rb-87) Strontium (Si-87) 48.8 billion years
    Paleolithic Paleolithic Ages (50 000 – 10 000 BC)
    Age Men were hunters and women were food gatherers
    Although hunting was common, 80% of the diet consisted of vegetables
    People were nomadic or semi nomadic – they travelled
    Aware of keeping bloodlines strong, now various bands (500 bands) would join
    together at rituals or ceremonies to marry young people
    Short Answers
    1. Neolithic Revolution (Neolithic Age - 8 000 – 5 500 BC)
    Also knows as the “Agricultural Revolution”
    Neolithic Revolution coined by Australian archaeologist Childe, 1941
    Positive Consequences:
    Created consistent food source, new materials and new tasks
    Negative Consequences:
    Lifestyles changed from a high value on mobility and low value on possession to the complete opposite:
    Humans began to settle and produce their own food rather than follow herds and animals
    Material possessions such as farm tools, farm clothes and pottery were all high valued
    Health:
    General health suffered from the introduction to carbohydrates (fruits and vegetables)
    Population increases
    Women gave birth and didn’t have to carry them around and the children would be useful in farm labor
    Epidemics – malaria, TB, Typhoid Parasites increase
    Mortality rate of men and women increased, women died because of childbirth and men due to
    warfare.
    There was no war in the Paleolithic age
    2. Rosetta Stone
    The Rosetta Stone is an Ancient Egyptian artifact which was instrumental in advancing modern
    understanding of hieroglyphic writing
    The stone is a Ptolemaic era stele with carved text.
    The text is made up of three translations of a single passage, written in two Egyptian language scripts
    (hieroglyphic and Demotic), and in classical Greek.
    It was created in 196 BC, and in 1822 the French scholar Jean-François Champollion deciphered
    hieroglyphics.
    Comparative translation of the stone assisted in understanding many previously undecipherable
    examples of hieroglyphic writing.
    The text of the Rosetta Stone is a decree from Ptolemy V, describing the repealing of various taxes and
    instructions to erect statues in temples.
    Two key names that helped decipher hieroglyphics were Cleopatra and Ptolemy
    3. Law Codes
    In the Hammurabi law code, capital and physical punishment and equal rights for all are ubiquitous whereas in
    the Hittite law code materialistic compensation and justice favoring men is visible; this is similar to communism
    (Hammurabi) vs. democracy (Hittites)

    Difference in: Hammurabi Law Code Hittite Law Code


    Social Supported equal rights for everyone Supported men more than women
    Political Equality and king was to be known as the Supported rights of men and women
    most powerful and connected to god through monetary compensations
    Economic Valued money and mostly farmers Greatly valued money
    Religious Gods were greatly recognized Gods were not mentioned so it is assumed
    that gods did not play a major part in law
