Chippindale C, Editor. 2009. The archaeology of rock-art. Cambridge (UK): Cambridge
University Press. 373 p. Dr. Christopher Chippindale is an archaeologist from the United Kingdom. He currently holds the honored position of Reader in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, UK. He is world renown and highly respected in the fields of anthropology and archaeology for his original works and studies on stone henge, rock formations and rock art. The primary intent of this title is to inform the reader on various forms of artistic expression our ancestral cultures left behind for us. This title establishes uncontested observations and methodologies for research and documentation of rock archaeology. This is

He is currently the Curator of Mesoamerican and Central American Anthropology for Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Feinman is known for his work in the development of an archaeology survey, as well as his research in the Oaxaca Valley in southern Mexico. Dr. Feinman asserts that the purpose of this title is not to redefine accepted theories and facts in anthropology and archaeology, but to consolidate them all into a single reference source. This is a compilation of anthropological data and theories as it stood during the new millennium. This text will assist me in providing relevant archaeological findings and anthropological theories on the topic of the foundation of neolithic cultural leisure. This text is similar to Dr Hanks and Dr Linduff 2009 title, Social complexity in prehistoric Eurasia. The primary difference is the scope of Dr. Feinman is much broader in the exploration of a wide variety of topics, while Drs Hanks and Lindruff provide a more detailed look at relevant finds in and around the Eurasian …show more content…
Oxford (UK): Oxford University Press. 464 p. Dr. Iain Morley is a lecturer in paleoanthropology for the University of Oxford. He also tutors and lectures on the topics of the evolution of human cognition, human evolution, archaeology, anthropology, and cognitive and evolutionary anthropology. His primary focus for his research is the origins of human cognition and culture. This title attempts to show correlations between music and language in regards to our human ancestors. His belief is that language and music would have basically come into existence either at the same time or for the same reasons during different times. This claim supports my theory that a paradigm shift occurred when humans settled, permitting more leisure, and I believe the development of artistic and cultural identities. This entry also goes into great detail for the opposing arguments surrounding some controversial flutes. Dr. Chippindale focuses in a similar way on a different side of cultural development by exploring rock art. Dr. Chippindale has a more data focused reference and Dr. Morley is a mix of data and well establish references that support his

    It is here that the rock art of the Chumash can be viewed in its natural state. Chumash rock art is distinctive due to the shapes and the consistency with the drawings. All Chumash rock art is found in caves far from the towns in remote caves that would not have been used for living quarters. While no method for decoding the art has ever been established, the art itself is easily identified as Chumash due to the style of the paintings. Most of the paintings are of the animals that lived around the towns and things that are seen in nature. Unlike other petroglyphs the Chumash rock art has hard lines, geometric shapes, and appears to have been painted over one another several times. They all have the same theme: geometric forms associated with mental imagery such as grids, stars, dots, and meandering lines or fantastic creatures, birds, and horned anthropomorphs. The inside of the objects are light but are traced by darker pigments around the outside. These rock art paintings of the Chumash do not tell a story and were not used for conveying a message to the public. Since the art is so contrived and jumbled together with no rhyme or reason, it is believed that the art was used during ceremonies performed in…

    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…

    Native American architecture varies greatly from region to region throughout North America, and was influenced by factors such as climate, kind of community, and the natural environment. Whereas some buildings were designed and constructed for specified functions, others, such as Anasazi great houses, were massive multi-purpose structures. Because great houses from Chaco Canyon are so well preserved, it is possible to have a decent understanding of the structure of Anasazi architecture for analysis. A close examination of the innovative Anasazi great house architecture of the Chaco Canyon region reveals its utilitarian value.…

    Rock art was a popular among hunter gathers, however it can be interpreted in many alternative ways. It is well known that rock art can be associated with a combination of beliefs, rituals and experiences. Throughout the first article by J. David Lewis-William (2012) focus on the religious aspects of rock art known as shamanism. In this text the author uses a system of ethnography to analyze the different interpretation of rock art (Lewis-William, 2012, p.22). The idea of animism, mythology, analogy and shamanism were discussed during this investigation (Lewis-William, 2012). The foundation of his research suggests that all communities that create rock art, place a cultural meaning behind the drawing and they can be unravelled (Lewis-William,…

    ANTH100 – Introduction to Anthropology APUS Assignment: Be An Anthropologist 2 Due by 11:59p on Sunday of Week 6 Purpose: The goal of this exercise is to observe a ‘cultural scene’ as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on everything you have learned in the course to-date). The student will analyze their observations in terms of themes from the subfield of cultural anthropology such as how it helps frame our societies (family, lifestyle, lineage, language and communication) and, in some ways, its evolution. Description: Culture as we have discussed in our readings and lecture notes is an incredible advantage that has allowed humans to enter almost every niche in nature. The development and maintenance of culture is what sets humans apart from…
