Chapter One – The Peopling of the World
Day 1: Broken Pots
How Long Ago?Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age): 2.5
million years to 8000 B.C.
Neolithic Age (New Stone Age): 8000 B.C. to early 3000 B.C.
PREHISTORIC WORLD MIGRATION
Our ExpeditionEach of you have been invited to participate
in an expedition that will involve the examination of artifacts telling the story of our human origins.
You will each perform a specific task as you examine the artifacts.
Let’s establish some basic understanding of terms and roles for our expedition.
Key Terms and Roles
ROLES EVIDENCE
Archaeologist: Scientists of sift through dirt in a small plots of land and analyze all human artifacts
Anthropologists: Scientists who study the “way of life” of people to determine the story of their culture.
Paleontologists: Scientists who study fossils – evidence of early life found in rocks.
Artifact: Remains such as tools, jewelry, and other human made objects.
Culture: People’s unique way of life. All objects used to tell a story
Fossils: Objects found embedded or inside rocks and other natural substances.
Our Dig SitesSumer (Iraq) – Egypt – Indus River Valley (India) - China

Day 2: Civilization Settlement Challenge
Today’s Thrilling Learning Agenda
1. Writing prompt – “If an archaeologist and anthropologist came into your room what inference would they make about your culture from the artifacts found?”
2. Civilization ChallengeCharacteristics of Neolithic Revolution
and a Civilization (Guided Discussion)Create and Report Civilization Challenge.
Neolithic Civilization Challenge
You are the people of the world who are now living in a time called the “Neolithic Period” or “Neolithic Revolution.” This means that you are advancing beyond a hunting/gathering society to an agricultural society. In other words, you are forming a CIVILIZATION.
Neolithic Revolution
Some of the characteristics of your society are:
Neolithic RevolutionSome of the characteristics of your society are:
Development of Settlements and Villages: Less need for nomadic hunting and gathering allowed for the settlement of people. From this more farming, trading, specialization and skilled artisan occupations formed.
Development of Villages into Cities: As more food became plentiful people were able to develop other goods and services to trade, to make (artisans). This led to the development of economies (money – goods-services). Eventually people needed government, religion, and other complex institutions.
Neolithic Civilization ChallengeLook at the physical features of your map. Decide on the best locations for your FOUR new settlements. Consider the following when identifying your settlements:
1. Fresh water supply
2. Food resources
3. Natural resources
4. Soil
5. Transportation
6. Physical hazards
7. Protection
Neolithic Civilization Challenge You have 10 MINUTES to discuss with your
group and reach a decision on the FOUR settlements.
Mark your settlements with a COLOR DOT from the designated marker.
You will present your information to the class.
Now – Go forth and develop your Neolithic Civilization.
