Analysis Of Palean Baskets
The argument claims that Palean baskets were not uniquely palean.To support this claim, the author cites that the palean basket was found in lithos, and there is no mode of transportation has been found for transporting the baskets. On several ground, this evidence provides little credible support for the authors claim
To begin with, the author provides no information about the place of manufacturing of the basket. The author has stated that it was found in the village, but he didn’t provide any information about the manufacturing and the selling part. May be the basket were just sold there and it was produced somewhere else may be in the land of lithos.
Even assuming that the basket was found in lithos, doesn’t actually mean that the basket

    Adam's Calendar Summary

    For many years, in an area approximately 150 miles inland of South Africa, west of the port of Maputo, farmers and other local residents have noticed remnants of an older settlement that they were told were just small random wall structures used by indigenous people; most likely to round up cattle (picture on left). Johan Heine, a local fireman and pilot, started flying over the area and noticed that they were not a bunch of disconnected ruins, but instead seemed to be a part of an ancient metropolitan. He got in contact with fellow South African Michael Tellinger, who researches ancient civializations and had just written the book Slave Species of the…

    Palean's Argument Analysis

    The most glaring error in the author's line of reasoning is his acceptance of archaeologists discovery. Firstly, they found a similar Palean basket in Lithos which was across the Brim river from Plaean. Paleans might do trade with these basket. They might sell basket for food, money and clothes. Lithos people might buy those basket from Palean and that how these bucket found in Lithos. The author jumps to conclusion on the basis of this has been not validated. Secondly, there is a chance that due to flood, a basket traveled…

    ANT 275 Syllabus

    The material is presented in three parts. The first section introduces students to archaeology and pseudoarchaeology (literally “fake archaeology”), along with the basic concepts of science and anthropology that are necessary for a full understanding of both of these pursuits. In the second part, we apply the lessons of the first section to a series of pseudoarchaeological claims, ranging from the Cardiff Giant and Piltdown hoax to Atlantis and the Crystal Skull. We ask why do people make such claims, and why does the public embrace them? The third part surveys the real marvels of the ancient past, from Easter Island and Machu Picchu to Stonehenge and the Great Zimbabwe. We…

    Gallows Hill Site

    Charred wood from this feature was radiocarbon dated to sometime between 2010 B.C. and 1850 B.C. (more on this below). It had also been suggested that there may be a house foundation somewhere on the site which would more than likely date to the historic past (Wiegand, personal communication, 2002), and about 75 artifacts from the late 18th and 19th centuries, such as nails, redware, saltglazed stoneware, whiteware, and glass, most of which were found in the top 20 cm of soil, may support the idea that there was definitely such a structure on the site. But these analyses are not included in this report; we are more interested in what happened…

    The Pre-Clovis Culture Debate

    The main questions I hope to answer in this paper are why the Pre-Clovis and Clovis cultures matter, and how does one existing before the other affect today’s indigenous population, as well as the environment? By looking at the debate that was unearthed when pre-Clovis artifacts were first found, and by researching the reasons scientists have for believing either of the two theories, I am going to resolve the issue, and look at how that conclusion has an effect on today’s life. The primary sources for this information are mainly the reports of findings from archaeological digs and the dating of artifacts found, such as human coprolites and spear points. Some…

    Trobrianders of Papua New Guinea: a Lasting Society

    The people of the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea have been a source of interest to anthropologists since the early 1900s, when Bronislaw Malinowski first studied them. In a time when anthropology was "barely established as a formal discipline" (Weiner, 1988), Malinowski had an intense interest in ethnographical field work as well as the fascinating culture of the natives of what was then called Papua, the southeastern part of mainland New Guinea. The Trobriand way of life is extremely different from that of typical western or eastern cultures. In addition to being a matrilineal society, the Trobrianders engage in markedly different courtship and marriage activities, and have been able to preserve much of their culture despite colonization and influence from other cultures.…

    The Paleolithic And Neolithic Eras

    With the beginning of human history comes the Stone Age—comprised of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras. The start of tool-making marks the former; the start of agriculture marks the latter. The first forms of tools in the Paleolithic Era were quite basic and rough, made from materials like wood, bone, and stone. Tools such as choppers for cracking bone and scrapers for preparing animal hide were used, and were then designed upon by later hominoids, from which weapons like clubs, spears, and knives were developed. These rudimentary tools functioned as the people’s means of survival. As a hunter-gatherer society, one killed and foraged for food and shelter. Tools were the catalyst. Fire was also a catalyst. It assisted alongside tools in hunting…
