Dating of the collection was’nt avalible for the lack of stratagraphy but bone from one the the skulls was date. It returned a date of 1000 BP, the date was retreived using the uranium thorium method. These skulls have been shown to show links to those from Kow Swamp.

Many different machines and technology for gather data has been created over the years, some of which is more advanced then others.

This study is focus on the 11th Unnamed Cave in Tennessee. This cave was the first of its kind because this cave is the only one that was found to contain pictograph, petroglyph, and mud glyph all in one site. The article explain that the site is significant because there are evidence to showed that the site underwent a series of diverse but interrelated uses. The first out of all the cave sites to contain all three different form of rock art. Also, because the site was found in the eighteenth century which had some form of documentations on the uses of the cave.

Craig Key in Florida is a calm peaceful, relaxing, and tranquil place to go fishing. There are just two properties in this little key, Overseas Highway, and the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail is on the side of the road where my family goes fishing. The Florida Keys are, as the Florida Fish and Wildlife officer said “a beautiful place to go fishing if anyone annoying is not around,” by which he meant if other people were around.

Photographs circulated through the historical community looking for consensus on what New World expeditions were at this location and immediately Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Pánfilo de Narváez came to mind. Their doomed expedition of 1528 with an army of 400 soldiers and eighty horses perished, less four survivors, including Cabeza de Vaca that showed up in Mexico eight years later. Their horrible adventure started here in Florida and included violent Indian attacks, diseases, a hurricane, being shipwrecked and eventually cannibalism. These artifacts are it the date range of the Narváez expedition, but there had to be a better fit geographically as this site is 15 miles east of their believed route. Then an email from the

For years, it had been widely accepted “that small bands of humans carrying a generalized Upper Paleolithic tool kit entered the Americas around 11,500 radiocarbon years before the present” (Waters 1122); and that “Archaeologists called these presumed pioneers the Clovis culture, after distinctive stone tools that were found at sites near Clovis, New Mexico, in the 1920s and 1930s” (Curry 13). However, the “peopling” of the Americas and their presumptive date of arrival is a topic of great debate within the field of Archeology; and the discovery of the Paisley Caves in south-central Oregon has thrown a wrench in the once widely accepted hypothesis that the “Clovis complex is considered to be the oldest unequivocal evidence of humans in the

It is an interesting factual article. It was definitely time-well-spent reading this. Nevertheless, the other two articles weren’t as interesting, but not as interesting as this one. Conditions were better described in this article, too. In the third article, Guatemala’s Finest Clothing Shops, doesn’t have a lot of information-based facts. Specifically; Guatemala’s Finest Clothing Shops had facts, on the other hand, Skeleton Dating Back to the Ice Age Sheds Light on Native American Origins has at least one facet every paragraph. Don’t get me wrong, Digging Out a Lost City’s Secrets wasn’t boring, still, it wasn’t super exciting. Old artifacts were found and will continue to be looked for, although I didn’t gather that it was as entertaining as finding a girl’s skull who drowned. In the end, each article was engaging, but Skeleton Dating Back to the Ice Age Sheds Light on Native American Origins was, in my opinion and most likely yours too, the most

What are common motifs found in cave paintings such as those at Lascaux and Altamira? Summarize the current theories about their original meaning and purpose

Pech Merle cave in south-western France has been a sacred sanctuary for at least five times as long as the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Unlike the pyramid the entire cave was man made, for the most part, the innards of the cave were made out of limestone massif by an underground river. When the river switched up its the course a four kilometer long cave was left behind. It stayed untouched and no human ever visited, until humans finally

The study of Native American history makes the discovery of ancient Native American art almost a given. The oldest known engraving art found in North America dates back to approximately 11,000 BC. The carving depicted a mammoth or mastodon and was engraved into a bone of an animal. Using forensic analysis and other technologies, the bone was identified as having once belonged to a mammoth, mastodon or giant sloth, which are creatures that roamed North America during the last Ice Age. The Smithsonian Institution and the University of Florida announced that the engraving was at least 13,000 years old and may be the earliest known example of art in the Americas, as well as the only Ice Age art of a proboscidean, or an animal with a trunk. A cast of the engraved fossil bone has been placed on display at the Florida Museum of Natural

Lascaux Cave and Stonehenge are both prehistoric pieces of artwork that reflect the values and beliefs of their respective time periods. They both have ties to astronomy, with the former depicting constellations in the form of animals and the latter being aligned to the Sun’s solstitial axis. But the main similarity between the two is the fact that they served a higher purpose than simply being art. They both had a function and meant something to the cultures that built them. They are both highly influential pieces of art that inspired many generations of people.

I should also consider researching tests that have gone wrong, to determine what the reason was, miscalculation, or factors out of control. I should, for the main point of this paper, include several examples of the successes of radiocarbon dating. Above, I listed several instances in which I believe radiocarbon dating was used. I should double check, and expound further on the exact reasons why radiocarbon dating was so important for those discoveries. I should also look for and consider the advancements or ulterior methods used for dating historical artifacts. In conclusion, I was really looking for a way to tie history into the technology aspect of my research, and think that radiocarbon dating could have plenty of

The study marks the first time that researchers were able to compare historical and geological records from the same cave in one place. In addition to recording the cave wall inscriptions telling the centuries-long climate change story, researchers removed sections of the formations in the cave and analyzed the elements and isotopes found inside them. What they found was that periods of drought had strong correlations to large concentrations of certain elements in the fragments.

Ancient cave art found in Africa! Archeologist Francesca Stanberry-Beall has discovered an amazing new piece of art in a cave in Africa. The art was dated to approximately 28,000 Bc. There are some Homosapiensapiens that appear to be hunting antelope. To the right of that there are two big antelope that seem to represent that there was a plentiful supply of antelope to hunt and eat. This could mean that this was very important resource to survive. Along the top there appears to be a hunter-gatherer searching in some reeds with rocks. The hunters probably need some new stones to flake for weapons. To the left of that there are three figures around a fire it must be cold or time to cook their dinner. Lastly there are two hunters who are protecting

In Plato, Republic, Book VII, the core of the book revolves around justice and its implications from both an individual and collective perspective. Plato does not have Socrates argue that justice requires getting everyone out of the cave because in actuality, there are two parts to justice and the cave: the truth and the false. According to Plato, people often live in illusion. Illusions appeal to sensible people and their senses, whereas reality does not function with reason alone, it includes a combination of ideas and the truth (Plato 405). Therefore, the need to have everyone leave the cave is not present because each individual is there for a different reason which may not call for leaving the cave.
