Here is a list of topics to study for the second exam. Again, keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list and does not constitute everything that will be on the exam. It is a point from which to begin. There will be questions from the films viewed in class: Privy to the Past: Historical Archaeology in West Oakland and Quest for the Phoenicians. From the textbook A Brief History of Archaeology: Classical Times to the Twenty-First Century by Brian Fagan focus primarily on the chapter summaries. It is important to read the chapters in their entirety to get a basic understanding of the concepts, but the exam questions are taken from the summaries. Don’t pay particular attention to all the archaeologists’ names with the exception of Heinrich Schliemann (chapter 6), Oscar Montelius and culture history (chapter 7), Vere Gordon Childe (chapter 9), and Julian Steward (chapter 10). Some of the terms to know: artifact, archaeological site, feature, Mousterian stone tools and who made them, historic and prehistoric archaeology. Know the cultural timeline of the Old World (Lower Paleolithic, Middle Paleolithic, Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age) Know the first domesticated animal (hint: dog). Know the consequences (both negative and positive) of plant and animal domestication. Know the term “Neolithic Revolution”. Be able to differentiate between logophonetic, logographic, and alphabetic writing systems. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
