(pigott, 1999). Notable exceptions is Tape Sofalin in the central part. Tape Sofalin lies in the eastern Rey Plain of the north-Central Iranian Plateau, at Lat. 51” 44’ 06 N., Long. 35” 18’ 58 E., at about 966 meters above sea level. This location is some 10 kilometers east of the city of Varamin. The site takes its name from the density of pottery sherds on its surface (in Persian, sofalin means pottery sherds). The site itself is about 15 kilometers south of the Khorassan Road, the major East-West trade route, between southern Mesopotamia, the Iranian Plateau and Central Asia. The remains of Tape Sofalin, extend over an area of about 500 meters long and 400 meters wide. The mound rises to a height of about 10 meters, and consists of material
The Beaker with Ibex Motifs is a prehistoric pottery art work, found in near-perfect condition during a 1906-1908 excavation of a Susian necropolis in Susa, Iran. The Beaker with Ibex Motifs is a large vessel with dimensions at 28.90 x 16.40 cm. Used by the first inhabitants of Susa, this beaker is a the first example of a funerary item. The identity of artist is unknown, however, it is thought the beaker was created sometime between 4200 and 3500 B.C.E.
After the extreme partisanship of 1800, it was expected by supporters and foes alike that the presidential administration of Thomas Jefferson would pioneer substantial and even radical changes. The federal government was now in the hands of a relentless man and a persistent party that planned to diminish its size and influence. But although he overturned the principal Federalist domestic and foreign policies, Thomas Jefferson generally pursued the course as a chief executive, quoting his inaugural address “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.” With true republicans warming most of the seats of power throughout the branches, except in the Judiciary, he saw the tools of government as less of a
Göbekli Tepe is a very interesting archaeological site that is located at the top of the mountain limestone ridge in Southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border (Banning 620). It is known as the earliest monumental building, or temple, that mankind has ever created and it was built even before the stage of agriculture, which dates back to some 11,600 years ago (Mann 1st page). Göbekli Tepe belongs to the PPN (Pre-Pottery Neolithic) in terms of its chronological context in world prehistory (Banning 620). In fact, the site can be divided into three different stratigraphic levels that are level 3, level 2A, and level 2B (Banning 620). Level 3 is the oldest level which appears to date back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) (Banning 621). Each of the buildings measured 15 m by 10 m and contained T-shaped monoliths surrounded by a wall made of stone and mortar (Banning 621). Two U-stone shaped entrances could by identified in two of the buildings (Banning 621). However, the most monumental aspect of the Göbekli Tepe can be attributed to the sophisticated carvings of wild animals, such as scorpions and boars, on the pillars which appears in the pillars of level 3 and level 2A (Banning 621). Moreover, Level 2A, which dates to Middle PPNB, has smaller and more rectangular buildings than Level 3 and it contains delicately implemented tiled floors and T pillars without any decorations (Banning 621). Level 2B dates to the time between level 3 and level 2A, however,
According to Document 4 it shows a painting where the figures are wearing clothing made from one of the world’s most important agricultural products. The clothing that they are wearing is made out of flax in other words cotton. This is a very important invention, and the people from Ancient Egypt made the crop Flax in a surplus because in clothing made of this, you deflect heat. Because it tends to be very hot in Ancient Egypt this invention of clothing benefitted them a lot. This invention also led to cultural diffusion because with a surplus of this invention you can trade with other countries and spread your traditions and culture. According to Document 5 it shows a drawing of a ziggurat located in Iran and was built around 1250 B.C. The Ziggurat is a very majestic and beautiful piece of architecture made for the Sumerians to worship their gods. An invention that the Sumerians might have invented that we can tell from the drawing is the arch and ramp. The invention of the ramp is very important because that way heavy things can be moved from the bottom to the top easier. The arch is also important because it can support huge amounts of weight in buildings and other architecture. Document 4 and Document 5 are similar because both of them show incredible inventions that have changed the world for the better. Document 4 did this by showing the creation of clothes that can be worn in heat. Document 5 did this by showing incredible invention of the ramp and arch which makes building easier and more
When one develops a play, there are many things that are taken into consideration. What message are they trying to convey, who is their targeted audience, what props and materials should be used to set the desired tone/imagery, etc. Ten minute plays such as “Tape” by Jose Rivera may actually be so short, that they end up lacking major components such as well-developed characters and plots.
Having already noted the chalk for both figures are the same and 4 from West is the same as 6 from East, we also notice that 9 and 13 from East are the same silt as 7 and 9 from West. We can assume the same conclusion regarding the “pockets” being ditches that were filled in with silt by erosion. This can be further proven with the antler pick found in layer 13 East, as this tool was used to build the burial mound. On this side of the barrow, there was an excavation of the Priestess’s Barrow in 1744. Knowing that they found bits of bronze metal and a glass Chalice, we can conclude that layer 7 West is back fill from this excavation because I found bronze and glass dating from the first century in this layer. Layer 8 East matches the top layer of soil. This can be accounted for by erosion prior to the excavation in 1744. Along with the back fill from layer 7, layer 10 matches layer 7, so we can conclude that this is also back fill. Due to a penny, dated 1739, found in layer 2, we can conclude that this layer is also back fill from the excavation in 1744. We can assume the penny fell off of one’s
The state of Petristan is a vast landmass acknowledged as the subcontinent of India, spreading across the watershed of Paratha Valley in the West and Korma River in the East, with the early civilization which ranged from 2700 to 1700 B.C. Recent discoveries have asserted the notion that the early civilization of Paratha Valley has greatly influenced the formation of the Petristan state. Consequently, The Petristan State Archaeological Survey has selected 5000 sherds from eighteen probable sites by random sampling techniques in effort to investigate the proposed postulation. In principal, relative dating method of seriation has been
Ancient Mesopotamia, sometimes referred to as the “Cradle of Civilization”, was located in the Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, bringing the Greek origin of its name, of “land between rivers”. There were two very different regions in ancient Mesopotamia:
“Huacas” were places building with thousands of bricks in a pyramid shape. Their bricks were decorated and sign for the Moche builders of the time. Is incredible to see this magnifies Architect of this pyramids and not compared with the Ancient Egypt pyramids for they similitudes but the differences between this two Ancient cultures The Moche used “Huacas” for apparently partly temples, palaces, administrative centers, and ritual meeting places and the Egyptians used to please their
From the area that was excavated a total of 30,306 artifacts were excavated from the abandonment deposit. Of these 58.09% related to building materials, 1.15% were classified as ceramics, 30.78% were classified as ecological, .29% were classified as farmware, 3.02% were classified as glass, .56 % was classified as munitions, 1.6% as personal, .17% as general tools and 4.34% as utensils. The focal point of the following review of the data will be on the use of space in terms of foodstuffs, general working areas, and
Persian people, or “people of Arya”, settled south of Iran in the plains of Pars. These plains were very fertile. This fertility allowed the Persian’s to grow and expand on sea and land. (Acrobatic, 2014)
Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley civilizations have long been compared throughout history and were both some of the earliest civilizations in the world. Mesopotamia, also known as, 'the land between the rivers,' was named for the triangular area between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers. This area has been extended and now covers modern day Iraq, adding ancient Assyria and Babylonia to that land. The Indus civilization is often referred to as the Harappan civilization from the first city discovered called Harappa. The Indus civilization existed in the vast river plains of what are now Pakistan and northwestern India between the Indus and Ganges rivers from about 2800 BC to 1800 BC. Though these two territories had many things in common
Hera is the queen of all Gods in Greek Mythology. She is prominent for being the Goddess of marriage, childbirth, and protecting women from men, who did not treat a women properly. Although she sounds graceful because of her desirable traits, she had a dark side that her husband (and brother), Zeus, created. She is infamously known for her actions caused by jealousy. These acts of jealousy were a factor of her marriage.
I. Ernest Hemingway shows the prosaic and fruitless nature of war and how the outcomes of war can affect people by using damaged characters. II. In A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway uses Henry’s life story to show how war can lead to a tragedy. The war is nothing but a cause of destruction and deaths. People begin war in order to live their further life in peace, but instead, war just leads to unexpected concerns and problems.
