Outlining Observations• USE THE OUTLINE FORM– Online on my website on the HW page– Better for review later

• Read the chapter section FIRST, then outline• Key Terms– Highlight (better for review later)– Define

• Weed out very specific details—SUMMARIZE• Use own words• Capitalization and spelling—if you don’t do it when

you’re reading it from a book, you’ll never do it!

Bellringer• Have out your notes from last class—we need to discuss

timelines! • What do you remember from last class?– We will talk about this as a group. Be ready for me to ask you

questions!• Did you update your table of contents? Did you put your

papers away in your notebook?

• BJOTD: What kind of music do they play at Stonehenge?

Bellringer

• On a sheet of scrap paper, answer the following question:– What is archaeology and why is it important?

• Did you update your table of contents?• Did you put any late work into the bin?

• BJOTD: What’s an archaeologist?

Objectives

• The Students will know:– The 5 early hominids– What archaeology is

• The Students will be able to: – Describe the 5 hominids and place their origins in

chronological order– Identify important archaeological sites and

techniques

More Outlining Observations

• Use the outline format from the website:– Bigger ideas are explained by the indented smaller

ideas that come after them• For example:

– 1. Homo erectus» a. known as “man of intelligence”» b. used technology

• i. technology: applying knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet your needs

• Underline/highlight key terms• Summarize—read the chapter first!

Archaeology

• Archaeology is the scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts, fossils, settlements, and other such remains.

How do scientists determine the age of artifacts?

• Strata– If two items are located within the same strata of

the ground, they are approximately the same age

And…

• Carbon dating!– Archaeologists measure the amount of carbon 14

(14C) remaining in artifacts or fossils. The amount remaining tells the age of the item.

Important archaeological sites

• Are used to:– Help archaeologists

understand early humans and their lifestyles.

The Five Early Hominids

What, more than anything else…

• Shaped the lives of early humans?– Their physical environment and the availability of

food

Map of early humansTravels of Early Humans in Africa

Humankind began in Africa and from there travelled to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas

Australopithecus

• Time Period and Location–4 million to 1 million BCE–Primarily found in East Africa

• Appearance– Brain 1/3 size of modern humans – Long arms, but humanlike legs.

• Capabilities and Skills– Bipedal: walked on two feet– Small social groups– Nomadic: travelled from place to

place in search of food

Homo habilis

• Time Period and Location– 2.5-1.5 million BCE– Africa

• Appearance– Face like

Australopithecus, but larger brain

– Apelike arms• Capabilities and Skills– Scavenger: gathered

plants and ate meat– First to use stone tools

Homo erectus

• Time Period and Location– 1.6 million-

30,000 BCE– Asia, Africa,

perhaps Europe

fi

• Appearance– Large brain– Fully upright stance

• Capabilities and Skills– Developed new ways of using tools

• Digging, scraping– First group to use FIRE– First to create spoken language

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Neanderthals)

• Time Period and Location– 100,000 to 400,000 yrs ago– Africa, Europe, western Asia and the Near East

• Appearance– Brain larger than modern

humans– Shorter and stockier than

modern humans• Capabilities and skills– Hunters and gatherers– Sophisticated tools (stone

knives, spears)– Burials for the dead– Nomadic

Homo sapiens sapiens (Cro-Magnons)

• Time Period and Location– 100,000 yrs ago to the present– Over time, found all around the world

Your Archaeological Dig—10 pts• Working individually, draw AND color an archaeological site for one

of the hominids– If you were an archaeologist, what kinds of artifacts/bones would you find

at a site for your hominid? How could you tell it was a specific hominid?– Include one item/artifact for each bullet below:

• Hominids’ appearance (What would give you an idea of what it looked like?• How old was the hominid/what time period was it from?(What would tell you the

time period? How would you know?)• Location (where is your dig?)• Hominids’ skills and abilities (What artifacts would help you understand what the

abilities of the hominid are?)

• ON THE BACK—Explain in complete sentences WHY you chose these items or artifacts and how it can help you in your archaeological investigation.

Bellringer• With the people at your table and using your notes,

please create a Venn diagram that compares Homo habilis with Cro-Magnons.**Be able to back up your answers with evidence!

BJOTD: How did the hot dog vendor tackle his job?

Objectives

• The Student will know:– The characteristics of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Age– The major advancement that led to the advancement of

civilization• The Student will understand:– Human history has been furthered by the need to expand and

protect the young.• The Student will be able to:– Work with a partner to determine the characteristics of the

Old and New Stone Ages– Compare and contrast the five hominids

Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age)

--begins with the start of Early Man1. People were nomadic 2. Invention of the first tools 3. Learned how to make fire 4. Lived in clans 5. Developed oral language 6. Created “cave art”

And then something happened…

• What major advancement by man led to the advancement of civilization?– Settled agriculture

• How did it happen?– Warmer climates led to more crop

growth• Why did it help man? – Agriculture led to permanent

settlements

Neolithic Age (New Stone Age)Began about 10,000 years ago (8,000 BCE)1. Developed agriculture2. Domesticated animals3. Used advanced tools4. Made pottery5. Developed weaving skills
