  6. Our Expedition • Each of you have been invited to participate in an expedition that will involve the examination of artifacts telling the story of our human origins. • You will each perform a specific task as you examine the artifacts. • Let’s establish some basic understanding of terms and roles for our expedition.

  7. ROLES EVIDENCE • Archaeologist: Scientists of sift through dirt in a small plots of land and analyze all human artifacts • Anthropologists: Scientists who study the “way of life” of people to determine the story of their culture. • Paleontologists: Scientists who study fossils – evidence of early life found in rocks. • Artifact: Remains such as tools, jewelry, and other human made objects. • Culture: People’s unique way of life. All objects used to tell a story • Fossils: Objects found embedded or inside rocks and other natural substances. Key Terms and Roles

  11. Today’s Thrilling Learning Agenda • Writing prompt – “If an archaeologist and anthropologist came into your room what inference would they make about your culture from the artifacts found?” • Civilization Challenge • Characteristics of Neolithic Revolution and a Civilization (Guided Discussion) • Create and Report Civilization Challenge.

  12. Neolithic Civilization Challenge You are the people of the world who are now living in a time called the “Neolithic Period” or “Neolithic Revolution.” This means that you are advancing beyond a hunting/gathering society to an agricultural society. In other words, you are forming a CIVILIZATION.

  14. Neolithic Revolution Some of the characteristics of your society are: Development of Settlements and Villages: Less need for nomadic hunting and gathering allowed for the settlement of people. From this more farming, trading, specialization and skilled artisan occupations formed. Development of Villages into Cities: As more food became plentiful people were able to develop other goods and services to trade, to make (artisans). This led to the development of economies (money – goods-services). Eventually people needed government, religion, and other complex institutions.

  15. Neolithic Civilization Challenge Look at the physical features of your map. Decide on the best locations for your FOUR new settlements. Consider the following when identifying your settlements: • Fresh water supply • Food resources • Natural resources • Soil • Transportation • Physical hazards • Protection

  16. Neolithic Civilization Challenge • You have 10 MINUTES to discuss with your group and reach a decision on the FOUR settlements. • Mark your settlements with a COLOR DOT from the designated marker. • You will present your information to the class. • Now – Go forth and develop your Neolithic Civilization.
