Nihal Lalwani BBE 29 October 2014 8 History Essay Term 4 Assignment Tokugawa Japan (1600-1868) and Medieval Europe (590-1500) both grew in two separate sides of the world but both of them are similar in ways such as how they were run, their architecture, their warriors and the society. In discussing whether these two civilisations are similar, the research has led me to believe that these two civilisations are partly similar. There are many similarities between Japanese and Medieval European Castles such as what were they used for and how they worked. Medieval European Castles are similar to Japanese castles as they are used for similar reasons and architecture such as the castles had high walls for protection against arrows, both of them were used as outposts by respective lords of each civilisation (Friar, 2003. P.47).
In the article Disease and Death at Dr. Dickson’s Mounds, Alan H. Goodman and George J. Armelagos discuss the power of burial grounds. 200 of 3,000 estimated burials were uncovered and identified by a team of (University of Chicago) archeologists, all of which were identified as a number of settlement sites in a 100-square-mile area (in west-central Illinois). The mounds had gone somewhat unnoticed since the mid nineteenth century. It wasn’t until after, chiropractor, Don Dickson, started to take an interest in the mounds, and start an excavation, that the area began to attract the attention of professional archeologists. They wanted to find out if there was a link between agricultural changes and dieses (Goodman, Armelagos 94).

In the Mendocino area I know of one major tribe the Pomo. My knowledge of this tribe is limited I do not know much about their culture. The main things which I do know about the Pomo Indians is that they are well known for the basket weaving and would travel from inland villages to the coast. There is a lot of historical information on the Pomo’s in Mendocino although I do not know how accurate most of this information actually is. There are several historical middens on the Mendocino coast which mainly contain sea shells but on occasion you can find arrow heads.
village. Finally, the brigade reached the Shoshone Indian Tribe which was Sacagawea’s birth tribe. The Shoshones were intrigued by the skin color of Lewis and his crew because they had never seen a white person before then. While exploring through the Shoshone tribe, Sacagawea recognizes the chief for their tribe, and it turned out to be her brother, Cameahwait.

Chaco Canyon is one archaeological site in a network of sites in northwestern New Mexico. Chaco Canyon is a remote canyon cut by the Chaco Wash located between Farmington and Albuquerque, New Mexico (1).

Chaco Canyon was home to the Chacoans and demonstrates their advanced construction.
Japan’s rich history of power, wealth, and influence had many remarkable eras. One of the more notable periods in Japanese history was that of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868). The Tokugawa Period was talked about in Musui’s Story, an autobiographical book, written by Kokichi Katsu. (Katsu ix) Katsu wrote Musui’s Story for three main reasons: to share how he had transformed from a low-ranking samurai to a well-known hero, to show his sense of self, and to serve as a cautionary tale for his descendants.
In both the centres of Olmec civilization, at San Lorenzo and then La Venta, numerous large clay platforms are raised. At their top there are believed to have been temples, or perhaps sometimes palaces, built of wood. The concept of climbing up to a place of religious significance becomes the central theme of pre-Columbian architecture. Its natural conclusion is the pyramid, with steps by which priests and pilgrims climb to the top (unlike the smooth-sided tomb pyramids of Egypt). La Venta initiates this long American tradition too.
I chose to study about Tiwanaku, a pre-Columbian archaeological site in South America in A.D. 500 and compare it to Teotihuacan, a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican city in 500 A.D. located in a sub valley of the Valley of Mexico. There a great similarities to each place but the two things that separates them is location and time. Tiwanaku is located in the southern shores of Lake Titicaca, in the Province of Ingavi, Department of La Paz. It was built nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level, making it the highest urban centers ever constructed of its time. Surrounded by mountains and hills settled in a valley, it began as a small settlement in 1200 BCE that reached its peak of inhabitants roughly around 400 A.D. and 900 A.D..

Japanese foods had developed over the past 2,000 years ago with strong influences from both China and Korea. However, only in the last 300-400 years, all the influences come together to make up today’s Japanese cuisine. Rice was among the major influences that introduced from Korea around 400 B.C and within a hundred years it had become the staple food in Japan (Takeda, 2014). During Yayoi period, the migrating tribes from Korea that settled in Japan passed on their techniques for rice cultivation to the Japanese. Soybeans and wheat which had become an essential part of Japanese cooking were introduced from China soon after rice.
