122. Arctic Prehistory
     Describes archeological research into Arctic Cultures, focus has largely been on Canadian Arctic research, but findings relate also to Alaska and Greenland cultures.  
     http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/ANTHRO/ArcticArchStuff/Prehistory.html
     
     Extractions: The excavation ... Video clips During the last glaciation the westernmost part of this region formed the uplands of Beringia, the first part of the Americas occupied by humans. However, the earliest widely accepted sites, found in Alaska, are somewhat later and are assigned to the Paleo-Arctic tradition . This is succeeded by the Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) whose bearers also became the first humans to occupy the Canadian Arctic and Greenland, migrating into those regions from Alaska. The resulting widespread ASTt population developed differently in Alaska and in Arctic Canada/Greenland. In Alaska the Arctic Small Tool tradition developed into the Norton tradition while in the Eastern Arctic it eventually becomes the Dorset culture . The cultures of the Thule tradition developed from the Norton tradition in the area around Bering Strait and subsequently spread, in part through an extraordinary population movement, throughout the entire Arctic region except the Aleutian Islands. The widespread present day Inuit peoples are the direct cultural and biological descendants of the Thule.

125. Texas Prehistory
     Article, with bibliography, on the study of prehistorical people and cultures in the state.  
     http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcarson/prehistory.html
     
     Extractions: Texas Prehistory by Thomas R. Hester and Ellen Sue Turner Texas prehistory extends back at least 11,200 years and is witnessed by a variety of Indian cultural remains. The "historic" era began with the shipwreck of Pánfilo de Narváez's expedition and the subsequent account written by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Indian culture was not modified, as best we can tell, by Cabeza de Vaca or by the later seventeenth-century French and Spanish exploration. Indeed, the peoples the explorers found were not severely affected until the advent of the Spanish missions and the incursion of Apaches at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Broader views of the ancient past came from the excavations, many of them supervised by A. T. Jackson on behalf of Pearce, of the Work Projects Administration during the depression years of the 1930s. Again, however, techniques were poor in most cases and little interpretation was done. Early museum research was conducted by the Witte Museum at the Shumla Caves in the lower Pecos region in the early 1930s; in addition, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum was established in 1932 and carried out research in the Panhandle of Texas. The research of Alex D. Krieger at the University of Texas from 1939 to 1956 served to integrate some of the WPA work of the 1930s. His publications provided thorough site reports and syntheses of broad aspects of the archeological record. His research brought national attention to the prehistory of Texas. Krieger's influence culminated in the first major synthesis of Texas prehistory, published in 1954. Also of national interest in the 1940s and early 1950s was the work on "early man" in the New World (the Paleo-Indian period) by E. H. Sellards and Glen Evans of the Texas Memorial Museum. Great strides in learning the cultural history of ancient Texas came in the 1960s, when archeological teams carried out excavations in proposed reservoir basins along many Texas rivers. Notable among these was the work at Amistad Reservoir on the Rio Grande.

     History, tools, and weapons of the PaleoIndian, Meso-Indian, and Neo-Indian ancient tribes of the Louisiana area.  
     http://www.crt.state.la.us/crt/ocd/arch/laprehis/paleo.htm
     
     Extractions: Twelve thousand years ago, the average temperature in the southeastern United States was five to 10 degrees cooler than it is now, and the climate was drier. The landscape was covered with oak and pine forests mixed with open grasslands. Some familiar animals such as rabbits and deer lived in the area, but many other animals that have become extinct in North America were also common then. Among them were the camel, giant armadillo, short-faced bear, long-horned bison, mastodon, tapir, ground sloth, saber-toothed tiger, mammoth, dire wolf, and horse (the horse was later reintroduced by the Spanish). The earliest Indians in Louisiana, called Paleo-Indians, hunted these animals using spears tipped with stone points. These lanceolate points were two to six inches long and had bases that were either straight or rounded inward. The Paleo-Indians in Louisiana made their points from carefully selected varieties of stone that appear to have come from neighboring regions in Texas and Arkansas.

129. A105 Human Origins And Prehistory: Fall Semester 2002

     http://www.indiana.edu/~origins/teach/A105.html
     
     Extractions: What made us human? The story of our past can be found in clues from a wide range of sources everything from details of DNA to evocative murals in Ice Age caves. This is why the scientific quest for human origins requires the curiosity of a philosopher coupled with the skills of a skeptical detective. This course will introduce you to the study of human evolution a branch of anthropology which seeks to understand human uniqueness by studying the human past using scientific methods. We can learn alot about ourselves by studying the behavior of living primates, like chimpanzees. And we can look at fossils and archaeological sites for the evidence that reveals when and where humans first began to behave like "odd animals:" to walk upright, eat and cook unusual foods, invent tools and art, speak languages, and enjoy the wide range of social and cultural practices that we consider so "human" today.

     Brief history of early man's culture and development.  
     http://www.mrdowling.com/602prehistory.html
     
     Extractions: HOME TIME AND SPACE PREHISTORY MESOPOTAMIA ... Abraham Maslow A Long Time Ago History began when humans learned to read and write. The first writing we know of came from civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt about 5500 years ago. People lived for thousands of years before this, but little changed from generation to generation. People lived as nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent home. Men hunted animals and women gathered wild plants. When there were no more animals to hunt or plants to gather, they moved to a new place. Society developed when people began to do individual jobs. This is called the "division of labor." When people do only one job, they usually choose a job they enjoy and do well. Further, when you do the same job over and over, you learn to do it very well. The division of labor caused people to depend on one another and eventually led to advanced civilizations. Eventually, people learned how to write. Writing allowed people to pass their knowledge onto others. Sir Isaac Newton once said, "If I

135. The Prehistory Of Sri Lanka: Radiocarbon Chronology Of Anuradhapura - Introducti
     A comparison of historical and archaeological data.  
     http://www.the-prehistory-of-sri-lanka.de/rc_introduction.htm
     
     Extractions: INTRODUCTION Anuradhapura , located at the centre of the North-Central Province of Sri Lanka (Fig. 1), (Dipavamsa; Mahavamsa) deriving from earlier histories, complemented by numerous epigraphs (Paranavitana 1970). However, it was deemed necessary to test these historical hypotheses against firm archaeological evidence and the 'citadel' of Anuradhapura was selected for sampling (Deraniyagala 1972; 1990a: 207-11). From 1985 to 1989 the stress was on securing an adequate radiocarbon chronology for this 100-ha site. Thirteen evaluation excavations, measuring c. 10 sq.m each, were sent down to bed-rock at c. 10 m below the surface (Fig. 2). Typically c. 50 cm of a red basal ferruginous gravel with Stone Age artefacts overlay decaying bed-rock. This was overlain unconformably by c. 50 cm of chocolate-brown alluvial clay which had been subjected to (what appears to be agricultural) disturbance during the protohistoric Iron Age. Overlying this 'ploughed' clay occurs 1-2 m of a grey clayey sand comprising numerous habitation deposits, wattle and daub structural debris and levelling fills (Figs. 3-4). The cultural contents of this macro-context comprise, notably, protohistoric Iron Age ceramics, faunal remains, beads and metal objects in the lower levels. The upper contexts contain Lower Early Historic material (for periodization see id The above-mentioned grey clayey sand is succeeded by yellowish sandy silt deposits
