During the week of our journey to the dig in Wedowee we learned a various amount of things. But as we walked and walked we noticed that the platform was very badly misshaped and that there were several different kinds of big boulders. For example there was fire crack rock which was used to make fires but remind you this was back when the Indians were on earth and they didn’t have a light to make fire so they had to use rocks. So as we walked more and more into the woods we found old corn. Yards of corn and they used this corn to make cornbread by rubbing the corn up against rock and as the cornbread was made it contained rocks inside the cornbread which made the condition of the Indians teeth very bad, because they couldn’t take care of their teeth like we can today-run-on. …show more content…

So as we walked we finally found the main pipeline, so we walked back to our dig site and talked about our findings which we there wrote down in our notebooks. Later that same day we started identifying different trees using a tree key or in other words a tree map. Anyway we used the book identified the tree then, took a leaf off the limb and taped it into our notebooks we continued this process with about 3-4 trees, For example a type of tree we identified was the willow oak, ate lunch and reported back to the place where we met upon arrival and reported our findings. We waited for the buses to arrive then returned back to school for the rest of the day. The next day we returned and we gathered river cane which the Indians use to build their houses. The house took days to make because in my opinion you have to have patience to do this

1491 Analysis Charles Mann investigates a new view of the effect the Native Americans had on their western lands before Columbus had visited them. Mann argues that our knowledge of the Indians may be incorrect; life before the New World may actually have been advanced, organized, and prosperous. On a visit to Beni, Mann and two archaeologists examine the Bolivian region and its few native people. One peculiar feature they noticed was the collection of forest islands, huge and almost perfectly round circles of grouped trees raised above the floodplain. The archaeologists believed this construction, which prevented the trees from being flooded, was organized by a complex society 2,000 years ago.

I've been through many different stages with these two little angels saying bye to their grandfather on Sunday. From two little toddles peering out the window balling their eyes out; or when they saw the suitcases at the back door, running off to their favorite hiding place. Anything to prolong him leaving. Then, one my favorite stories about Alexis-at 4 years old, she put her Pappy's big ole work boots on saying "My go'in to 'tucky wif my Papaw" (Kentucky).

The presence of cannibals in Native American tribes is debatable; their descendants claim it is a myth, nonetheless factual data was discovered to oppose that. Archaeologists identified “butchered human bones, stone cutting tools stained with human blood, a ceramic cooking pot holding residues of human tissues, and finally the most telling evidence found in the actual human feces: traces of digested human muscle and protein” (Wilford). This solid proof was discovered from the site of an ancient Anasazi settlement in southwestern Colorado. The researchers think that this proof dates back to A.D. 900 to 1150 but as these traces are fairly rare, it is most likely that these instances occurred in times of desperation among the community, like starvation. This evidence almost certainly proves cannibalism amongst the Anasazi and yet only proves it to be within this tribe.

British Composer / producer Colling Craington crosses the boundaries between recurrence and fickle, acoustic and electronic, crisp tonality and slow melody. His latest development “Slowly Comes The Morning” makes a strong argument whether monikers in the same milieu should follow or improvise even further. “Slowly Comes The Morning” is 2016 album composed and performed by Colin Cringhton and which to my personal opinion remains / will remained in ambient / soundscaping history not only because it is a fabulous album and incidentally happened to be Craig’s most prominent outcome as both composer and producer, but also for ( Sparkwood’s Records ) as well as ( Humming Frequencies ) to have gain the opportunity to shine through together with
