Ceramics has been dated back to 24,000 BC with early figurines and pottery. Major developments include tiles being produced in Mesopotamia and India around 14,000 BC, and pottery making beginning between 9000-10,000 BC. Glazes were discovered in Egypt between 5000-8000 BC. Ceramics have been used for artistic, functional, and industrial purposes throughout history. Major cultures known for ceramics include China, Greece, Persia, and Japan. Ceramics have been important for electrical insulation, automobiles, and other modern technologies.
The document discusses and debates several controversial topics including the existence of aliens, theories about how structures like the pyramids and Stonehenge were built, theories that the Earth is flat, debates around climate change and global warming, and conspiracy theories around 9/11. It provides information from both sides of these debates and questions the accepted narratives around many of these topics.
The excavation site in Quinhagak, Alaska has uncovered over 8,000 centuries-old wooden artifacts from the Yup'ik Eskimo culture, due to the area's permafrost preserving the items. After Warren Jones sent photos of mysterious wooden artifacts washing ashore to Professor Rick Knecht, their discussion led to cooperation between Jones' company and Knecht's university to conduct test digs. The digs have expanded over the years, uncovering tools, clothing, weapons and more in excellent condition. The site is being rapidly eroded by the shifting Arolik River, so the excavations are urgently working to uncover the items before they are lost to the landscape changes.
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation was built in 1988 on the estate of Charles Jencks and his late wife Maggie Keswick in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. It covers 30 acres and was designed to represent cosmological and scientific concepts through its unique landforms and structures. Some features include the Universe Cascade, representing the evolution of the universe, and the DNA-inspired New Kitchen Garden. The garden incorporates mathematics, science, and natural elements into an exploration of the relationship between art, nature, and science.
The document provides information for teachers and students visiting the Archaeology Discovery Center of the Oriental Institute. It includes details about the location, arrival procedures, clothing requirements, and rules for the visit.

Archaeology is the study of the remains and artefacts left behind by past societies. Archaeologists excavate archaeological sites using careful techniques to uncover artefacts and evidence about how past people lived. Dating the uncovered artefacts and remains is important for understanding the time period they are from. Key methods of dating include stratigraphy, which examines the depth of artefacts, and carbon dating, which measures residual carbon to determine age. The analysis of archaeological evidence provides insights into prehistoric periods before written records existed.
Daniel McGinnis discovered a mysterious depression on Oak Island off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1795. He and some friends dug down 30 feet until they were forced to stop, beginning the long mystery of what lies buried in the island's "money pit". Subsequent excavation attempts discovered different layers of materials and artifacts, including an ax and scissors. Modern excavations using cameras and digging technology have found tools, chests and human remains, but the pit continues to flood, preventing access to its secrets. To this day the origin and contents of the Oak Island money pit remain unknown.

Crop circles are patterns created by flattened crops, usually wheat or corn. They have been observed all over the world since the 17th century. There are several theories for what or who creates crop circles, including natural phenomena like tornadoes, human hoaxers, or extraterrestrial visitation. Some crop circles display complex geometric patterns that would be very difficult for humans to replicate with the technology and tools available.
This document discusses the use of ancient Egyptian shabti figurines and faience ceramics in burial practices from 2000-340 BCE. It then describes ongoing research using the Australian Synchrotron to analyze the chemical composition and production techniques of faience through non-destructive testing. This includes identifying that copper was used to create the characteristic blue-green glaze but the form of copper used is still unknown. The research aims to better understand faience and the role of women and trade in its production.
Here are some key things to include in your observational drawings:
- Draw what you see, not what you think you see. Focus on accurate proportions and shapes.
- Use light and shade to show form. Draw the shadows as darkly as the highlights are light.
- Pay attention to textures. Try different mark-making techniques like cross-hatching to show textures like bark or leaves.
- Draw a variety of natural forms like shells, stones, fruits, flowers or seed pods. Drawing different textures and shapes will give you more ideas for your sculpture.
- Take clear, well-lit photos to use as references if drawing from life is difficult. Photos can also help you capture textures.
1) Various approaches are used to interpret evidence from artifacts in order to understand how they were made and used, including archaeological analysis, scientific analysis, ethnographic analogy, and experimental archaeology.
2) Stone tools were made through processes like knapping and were used as tools for hunting, butchery, and other tasks. Organic materials like bone, antler, wood, and plant fibers were also used to make tools and structures, and their forms and functions have been studied through replication experiments.
3) The evolution of stone tool technologies progressed from simple Oldowan tools in the Lower Paleolithic to more advanced blade-making in the Upper Paleolithic, showing increasing complexity over time.
The document provides information about the Stone Age in Britain, which is divided into three periods: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. It describes life during each period, including that Palaeolithic people were nomadic hunter-gatherers, Mesolithic people moved around in small groups as the climate warmed, and during the Neolithic people began farming and constructing permanent settlements such as Stonehenge. Case studies from each period in Surrey are also summarized, such as a Palaeolithic camp site, a sacred Mesolithic site, and a Neolithic enclosure similar to Stonehenge. Hands-on activities like cave painting and making a Mesolithic headdress are also outlined.
Crop circles are patterns created by flattened crops such as wheat or corn in a field. The earliest known crop circle was discovered in England in 1648. While some believe they are caused by natural phenomena like tornadoes, others theorize they are made by UFOs, satellites, or humans. Complex geometric designs have been found that would be very difficult for humans to create with such precision. Some evidence used to support the theory that crop circles are not made by humans includes errors found that cannot be undone and witness accounts of spheres hovering over fields during formation.

The document summarizes the process of archaeological investigation at an ancient Mayan village site. Social scientists uncovered evidence of multiple settlements at the site, including remnants of buildings, canals, and gardens. By analyzing pollen samples, they determined areas were used to grow corn, peppers, and tomatoes. Further from the city, they found evidence of slash-and-burn agriculture and early villages buried deeper in the soil layers. This led scientists to hypothesize that the civilization collapsed due to unsustainable agricultural practices depleting the soil and resources.
Crop circles are unexplained geometric patterns that appear overnight in crop fields, usually containing cereal crops like wheat. They are found all over the world but are most common in southern England. The circles range widely in size and complexity, from simple circles to elaborate patterns hundreds of meters across. Scientific studies have found the crops in the circles are bent in unusual ways and the soil and plants show evidence of heat exposure or magnetic effects. While some were eventually proven to be hoaxes, the most complex designs still have no clear explanation for how they could be made by humans in a single night without leaving tracks. This has led to ongoing debate and speculation about possible non-human causes like unusual natural phenomena or visits by extraterrestrial beings.
1) Hand axes from 1.7-1.6 million years ago showed improved tool-making abilities in Homo erectus, featuring sharper edges used for tasks like hunting and butchering.
2) Cave paintings like those found in the Lascaux Caves of France dating back over 15,000 years depicted hunts of animals like deer and provided clues about early human life, family structures, and diets.
3) The artists used various natural materials and tools to create the cave paintings, such as mineral pigments mixed with binders and applied using tools like blown bird bone tubes, showing early technological innovation.
Crop circles are unexplained geometric patterns that appear overnight in crop fields, usually containing cereal crops like wheat. They are found all over the world but are most common in southern England. The circles range in size and complexity, from simple circles to elaborate patterns hundreds of meters across. Scientific studies have found signs that extremely high temperatures or electromagnetic energy was involved in bending the crop, but no human cause has been verified and the origins remain a mystery. Some theories involve aliens, military tests, or natural plasma vortices, but the true explanation is still unknown.
The document provides information about an art exam including the exam dates for different blocks and various art assignments that students could choose from for the exam. The assignments include exploring found objects in artworks, investigating sequences in documentation, developing an augmented reality concept, and presenting a response to an emotion through one's own creative work. Sample artists are referenced for several of the assignments including Marcel Duchamp for found objects, Duane Michals for sequences, David Hockney for augmented reality, and Elinor Carucci and Francesca Woodman for emotion-based works.
Mysterious monoliths have been appearing across the world in remote locations and then disappearing without explanation. The first was found in Utah in November 2020 and attracted many explorers before vanishing. Soon after, another monolith appeared in Romania displaying circles before also disappearing. A third monolith then surfaced in California before being removed. More attempts to copycat the monoliths were done by individuals looking to profit. Additional monoliths found in the Netherlands and UK had no explanation, leading to theories they were placed by aliens scoping out the planet.
The document discusses the Louis I. Kahn-designed library building at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. It describes the library as a modern architectural masterpiece made of local red brick and concrete that creates a welcoming environment suffused with natural light. While initially intimidating due to its materials, it has become an inclusive space where students enjoy studying. The library is celebrated as both a architectural landmark but also as a well-used, beloved building by the community.
Archaeologists study past cultures and life through artifacts and structures left behind. They form questions about the past and gather evidence through excavations to analyze. Archaeologists must carefully plan dig sites by researching and mapping areas that could provide evidence to answer their questions about ancient peoples and times. Various kinds of enduring remains like pottery, city ruins, and trash pits provide a window into history.
The document summarizes key developments from the Paleolithic period including the emergence of stone tool technology, the movement of humans from caves to villages, and early forms of shelter, art, and symbolic communication. Stone tools allowed humans to cut, shape, and work wood, enabling the creation of projectile weapons, shelters, and other technologies. Cave paintings provided early expressions of beliefs and perspectives on life. Archaeological artifacts and remains like the Skara Brae houses in Orkney, Scotland provide clues about Paleolithic life and how societies were organized.

Most crop circles appear in England, though they have been seen worldwide. Some designs are complex geometrical patterns that would be very difficult for humans to create with such precision. While some believe humans make crop circles, others argue the mathematical accuracy and advanced technology needed points to non-human creation, like aliens attempting to communicate. The author believes aliens created crop circles to show their superiority or depict their vision of the universe.
Slatington, Pennsylvania was once the center of the American school slate and blackboard industry. In 1845, Owen Jones discovered slate deposits in the area around Slatington. Two years later, he and William Roberts opened the first school slate factory in the United States there. By the late 1800s, several more factories had opened to meet rising demand as the country's population and number of schools grew. At its peak in the early 1900s, the region produced over 1.5 million slates per year. However, World War I, health concerns, and the rise of paper products caused the industry to decline. By the 1940s, Slatington was one of the only places still manufacturing slates, though production
The document discusses different forms of rock art including pictographs, petroglyphs, and earth figures. Pictographs are painted designs made using minerals like red ochre, charcoal, or white chalk. Petroglyphs are carved designs made using hammerstones. Earth figures are large motifs made on the ground by scraping away pebbles or piling up rocks. Rock art was used to mark territory, record histories, or in rituals. Cave art includes painted drawings on cave walls, often of hands or animals. The oldest dated rock art is in Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Australia, ranging from 28,000 to 40,000 years old.
Ceramics students learn about two pottery techniques: coil pots and wheel-thrown pots. Coil pots are made by rolling ropes of clay into circles and placing them on top of each other to build up the walls, while wheel-thrown pots are shaped on a spinning potter's wheel. The earliest pots, from 6500 BC, were simple pinch pots created by nomadic tribes for transporting water and food. Over time, coil construction and the potter's wheel were developed to enable larger, more elaborate pottery.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

The Prehistoric Finds at Ames Plantation
1. “When we arrived Professor Moreland handed us a huge stack of papers, in addition to two texts we had purchased.” Olivia Ryan ’11 Liv Ryan and Monica Gehrig begin work immediately on history and archaeology assignments. Their reading assignments informed them about the history of Ames and the chronological order of inhabitants in the area; one fact that surprised the girls was that stones and rock used in the construction of the plantation are not native to Tennessee.
2. “The gradiometer is kind of like a glorified, extremely expensive metal detector.” Chris Moore ’11 After studying the history, the students must figure out where to dig. The student walks over the area and the device scans the ground. It can detect ferrous materials but also disturbances in the ground. Later he can study the information for artifacts and architectural features.
3. "It's important to make sure you do not dig too deep with the flat head shovel so as not to damage any evidence under the soil.“ Olivia Ryan ’11 Excavation begins by skimming a flat head shovel along the surface. Monica Gehrig is in the process of excavating the manor house. The dirt is then dumped in buckets to be sifted. Other tools include trowels (device that looks like a cake cutter), flat head shovels, sharpened bamboo, brushes and picks.
4. “I found a tiny silver calendar, the size of a pinkie nail from the early 19th century.” Olivia Ryan ’11 Sifting works by taking buckets of dirt and dumping them into a giant sieve. The dirt falls through and the artifacts remain. Behind them you can see the sifters above a mound of dirt.
5. “Guy Weaver, the Senior Archaeologist at the field school, and I are articulating features.” Sarah Mitchell ’10 Trowleing is an incredibly meticulous task done by moving the trowel in a sweeping motion to made the ground as even as possible. A feature is anything interesting or unique, from an artifact to a post mold. A post mold is a slight discoloration where a wooden structure has biodegraded. It leaves behind a discoloration which indicates there may have been a structure, such as a porch, in the location.
6. “Where you find something is just as important as what you find.” Chris Moore ’11. The blue device atop a yellow and orange tripod is called a Total Station. The Total Station is used to map the excavation site. There will be someone at another point with a pole. Electronically, it records the points so that it can be plotted on a computer. Any features or artifacts left in the unit are recorded. The students use the principle of distribution and abundance of objects to hypothesize the purpose of each room.
7. “The pig jaw suggests that this was a slave house because slaves didn’t have choice pickings and were often left with the feet and the head.” OmairKhattak ’11 Pig jawbone Large metal hoe. The students found brick fragments as well as a large metal hoe and pig jaw. Olivia Ryan ‘11 “For the pig’s teeth we had to use tiny little tools like dental picks to remove the dirt.” This area could be the base of a fallen chimney because of the of the brick’s positions relative to the structure and because pig was one of the most commonly consumed animals. Out of mode pottery sherds were also found which supports the slave house hypothesis because masters would often pass their old china down to their slaves.
8. “Corners are incredibly important because they help you figure out where to dig next.” Chris Moore ’11 This is a photo of an excavated corner of the slave house. Photo documentation occurs at each level, or 10 cm of excavation. The arrow always points north and the board lets you know the corner’s unit, location, site, and date it was photographed. Cailin Meyer explains, “"For posterity's sake, the cleanliness of the unit and the presentation of the feature for the photo is incredibly important."
9. “The house we are sitting on is similar to the house we worked three weeks excavating.” Sarah Mitchell ’10 Ames has several reconstructions of 19th century houses. Each was taken from a different part of the plantation and rebuilt on this site for people to tour. Each house is from a different time period. This particular one is a dogtrot structure.
10. “The reason we are smiling while washing bricks and rocks is because those types of artifacts can tell you where a culture was getting its building materials and sometimes they have small artifacts stuck to them.” Sammie Wicks ’10 After digging the students wash artifact bricks and nails found during the day. There is a great chance of misidentifying artifacts if they aren’t properly cleaned. The newly cleaned brick fragments are weighed to determine how many bricks were used and therefore estimate the size of the structure. At the end of the table is the float machine which separates dirt from botanical remains.
11. “From seeds you can figure out plants, and see what was available at the site at that time period.” Becky Vanderwalle ’10 Becky Vanderwalle is examining and sorting botanical remains in the field lab at Ames. Botanical remains are found by dumping buckets of dirt from the dig site into a float machine. The machine filters the dirt away and allows organic material such as seeds, grass and twigs to rise to the surface. Then sachets of botanical remains are hung to dry and later examined under a microscope.
12. "Nearly all of the important finds are discovered in the lab, not in the field." Cailin Meyer ’10 After being washed the artifacts are catalogued into a systematized record. Each artifact is given a number code based on its grouping—ceramic, glass, brick, or nail. Under each category are subcategories. For example, for glass there’s window pane glass, bottle glass and hand-blown glass. Ryan says, "We learned about tricks for discerning different types of ceramics. For example, if you lick porcelain it won’t stick to your tongue, whereas white ware will.” Other discoveries include a spoon, a calendar, a locket and several buttons.
13. “That’s the tricky thing about archaeology, the best you can do is make inferences.” Olivia Ryan ’11 The last step in archaeology is to analyze and discuss data and artifacts. Students learn to combine their firsthand observations with the historical background. As the Society for American Archaeology explains, "Historical archaeology is more than just a treasure hunt. It is a challenging search for clues to the people, events, and places of the past."
