The Caddo hunters mostly used bows and arrows. When the Caddo fought they used bow, arrows, lances, and tomahawks. The farmers used hoes and spades to farm crops. The Caddo made their tools from wood, carved bone, and mussel shells. They also made heavy stone axes for cutting

    How Human Technological and Social Development Fostered the Rapid Movement of People Throughout.

    With the rise of our newest form of evolution (Homo sapiens), many features of our original designs were enhanced for a greater chance of survival. Though we did not acquire “aesthetically-pleasing decals” like claws, we did get something only our species adapted: aptitudes that were far superior to anything on Earth at that time. Around 50,000 BCE, Stone tools began to be constructed and were just beginning to emerge. Evidence arises from archaeologists identifying Stone Age technology near Aq Kupruk, Afghanistan. At Baude L'Aubesier, France, a Homo Neanderthalensis man from 45,000 BCE is etching bone/stone tools. These various tools would make their journeys a bit more leisurely because to brave the many untouched landscapes they encountered, sharp and tough tools were a necessity. These tools did the job well for how primitive they were. With these innovative implements, human beings began to make rock engravings and other etchings. Scientists have unearthed some of these imprints near Australia and they’re carbon dated at 42,700 BCE. From the land to the ocean, evidence suggests there were even oceangoing boats in use around this time! Obviously, these aquatic vessels would’ve been an immense help to travelers who may need to cross large gaps of water. A necessity for trips across water. Near the vicinity of 30,000 BCE, Homo erectus becomes extinct, having used the same basic hand axe for more than a million years. Even Homo neanderthalensis had become defunct by 26,000 BCE, though scientists still describe neanderthalensis as highly intelligent because their weapons were the first to use "dry distillation." Meanwhile, Homo sapiens survive and have been perfecting new technologies and techniques, such as the spear. The use of sharper objects can be used for hunting and such activities. The spear would prove to be a grand…

    Santa Fe Cabildo

    The primary source that I analyzed was, “Colony in Danger of Demise; Cabildo Begs Viceroy for Soldiers and Supplies May 8,1705”. This was a letter written by the Santa Fe cabildo, sent on May 8, 1705 to the new governor and captain general (Governor Francisco Cuervo and Valdés). The letter requested for the viceroy to send supplies, for the members of the Santa Fe Cabildo. They needed supplies due to the frequent ambushes and invasions from the Native Americans. In the letter it states, “Their continues invasions and ambush have caused numerous deaths and robberies each and every day and will become worse due to their immediacy in the heavily wooded and high country which surrounds our settlements.” (Cabildo, 1705) The letter goes on to explain how they don't even have clean clothes, or clothing at all in that matter. Their living situation is very poor they continue to beg and explain their situation to the viceroy. The cabildo states, “Lacking all of this aid, it is certain that this settlement…

    Social Studies Texas Indians

    The Karankawas tribe lived along the Gulf Coast in Texas. This tribe controlled the area between what is present day Galveston and Corpus Christi. The climate of the Karankawa’s was semi tropical. It is hot in the summer and cool in the winter. It is rare that this area of Texas freezes. The typical home was made from the long sapling of tree trunks and with woven grass mats completing the huts. They would stick one end of the tree limb or saplings into the ground in a big circle. Then they would bend them over towards the middle and tie them together making a framework. They would cover this framework with woven grass mats, palm leaves or with animal skins. They would cover the floor with woven grass mats. The culture included singing and dancing during ritual ceremonies. Not much is known about the Karankawas culture as they have not been studied near as much as other Native American cultures. As stated earlier the women wore grass skirts and the men wore simple breach cloths. Oftentimes the men would just go without clothing due to the humid climate. The Indians ate fish, buffalo and many other meats. They were primarily hunters and fishermen as the territory that they belonged to had plenty of land animals and gulf coast animals. They made and used a lot of tools. Some of these tools were made of stone. Many other tools were made from wood, bone, sea shells, and cane. They had knives, scrapers, and, of course, arrow and spear points made of flint and chert stone. They also had baskets. The…

    Ancient Chinese Food Research Paper

    The Ancient Chinese had so many tools that they used so I probably can’t fit them on this paper. I’ll list a few. They used compasses, plows, harnesses, wheelbarrows, water wheels, harnesses, and crossbows. When the Ancient Chinese hunted, they probably used a compass and a crossbow. They probably used a compass to lead them back to a spot and a crossbow to shoot at game. When they were farming, they probably used plows, harnesses, and wheelbarrows. The Ancient Chinese probably used plows to turn the soil on their fields. The harnesses might have been used for horses to drag objects. Finally, the wheelbarrow might have been used to transports farming essentials. The Ancient Chinese used many tools to help them…

    The Hammer

    The use of simple tools dates to about 2,400,000 BCE when various shaped stones were used to strike wood, bone, or other stones to break them apart and shape them. Stones attached to sticks with strips of leather or animal sinew were being used as hammers by about 30,000 BCE during the middle of the Paleolithic Stone Age. The hammer's archeological record shows that it may be the oldest tool for which definite evidence exists of its early existence. Stone hammers that date back to 2,600,000 BCE have been found.…
