    Time and Rectangular Seals

    • 1010 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Through research, it has been discovered that the date 2200 B.C. is prominent in dividing the occurrence of square ended seals from the rectangular ended seals. Any sites with the evidence of square ended seals are likely to have existed prior to 2200 B.C., while other sites with rectangular seals would have been settled after this time period. With this in mind, the sites “B”, “D”, Garam Masala (GM) and Phul-Gobi Lower (PGL) that had the square ended seals probably existed prior to 2200 B.C. On the other hand, rectangular seals were found in sites “B”, “C”, “E”, Tiltandula (T) and Phul-Gobi Upper (PGU), which allow archeologists to assume that they existed after this particular time. Interestingly, site “B” has both the square and rectangular seals, which allows investigators to look out for the possibility that the site existed prior to 2200 B.C. and for some time after. It is also indicated that PGL and PGU are radiocarbon dated back to 2450 ± 70 B.C. and 2100 ± 50 B.C.…

    As we were introduced to the beginning of hominids in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 continues to introduce us to world civilization starting with the areas of southwest Asian and the Indo-European regions. It was said that the first complex societies developed in southwest Asia (Mesopotamia). The existence of politics and social order can only be explained by how, through the adaptation of an organization, the government came to be. Mesopotamia, known as “the land between the rivers” (Tigris and Euphrates), began the irrigation process. The people, known as Sumerians, used their surrounding resources and were able to build structures to assist them in transporting water over to the crops. This was obviously helpful to increase their harvest, and allowed…

    Archaeological data suggests that the date 2200 B.C can divide the occurrence of square ended seals from rectangular ones. Assumedly, any sampled sites with the presence of square ended seals existed prior to 2200 B.C, while the rest of the sampled sites with rectangular seals existed after this particular date. Consequently, we may indicate sites dated prior to or up to 2200 B.C, and sites “B”, “D”, Garam Masala (GM), and Phul-Ghobi Lower (PGL) fits the equation since all of these sampled sites had square seals. On the other hand, rectangular seals were only found in four sites of “B”, “C”, “E”, Tiltandula (T), and Phul-Ghobi Upper (PGU). In particular, site “B” has both of the square and rectangular seals each that may suggests that the site existed prior to 2200 B.C and have the possibility to continue for some time after. In addition, Lower Phul-Ghobi (LPG) and Upper Phul-Ghobi (UPG) were radiocarbon dated back to 2450 ± 70 BC and 2100 ± 50 B.C respectively.…

    Some evidence of early Indus civilization found in modern India includes the ruins of two great cities, Harappa and Mohenjo Daro. Both cities were curiously similar, despite the fact that their remains lay more than 300 miles apart. The most historically striking feature of these two civilizations was the way in which they were both well planned. For example, each stood near towering fortresses and had a repeated street and building pattern. In addition, the homes of these early villages were equipped with the most advanced comforts of their time, such as indoor plumbing. By studying these remains, archeologists have discovered the many features and complexities of early Indus Civilization.…

    The development of agriculture in the Neolithic Revolution changed the whole world. No longer did humans depend entirely on hunting and gathering as their food source, they started farming and domesticating animals. Early development of agriculture began in many regions but let’s compare three; the Fertile Crescent, Mesoamerica and China. There were similarities and differences in the way these regions started their journey to a better future with agriculture.…

    This story was based on how many police departments had high percentages of white working individuals. This is stated in the beginning of the article, “In hundreds of police departments across the country, the percentage of whites on the force is more than 30 percentage points higher than in the communities they serve, according to an analysis of a government survey of police departments.” It then explains and gives evidence proving that in fact most of the population in said work force is in fact white. They had graphs proving this statement, which is now a fact. All I saw was white police overpowering the other races. This was upsetting, especially since there were population in said areas lacked white ethnicity. I also read the notes and it said they surveyed police departments with 100 or more police officers United States. Those with percentage whose race or ethnicity was unknown was greater than 10 percent, as well as department with fewer than 10 officers, were excluded from the survey.…

    Around 7500 BC a similar settlement starts near the river Indus. It is called Mehergarh and is now in Pakistan. This is the first evidence of human settlement in the Indian sub-continent, predating the Indus Valley Civillisation by 4200 years. Mehergarh folows development along the lines of Jericho and is abandoned around 2600 BC, in favour of the Indus Valley Civillisation from 3300 BC. The Indus Valley civillisation is one of the most advanced cillilisations every found to have existed during the same period.…
