As you’ve learned from both Lecture 3 and your readings this week, an artifact can tell us a lot of information, ranging from the time period in which it was made to the techniques used to create it. In this assignment, you will get the chance to practice this type of archaeological interpretation with a set of 3D artifact models.
The following links will take you to 3D models of various artifacts that you will recognize from your readings and lecture this week:
Early Stone Tools: Oldowan Tool (Links to an external site.), Acheulean Hand Axe (Links to an external site.), Mousterian Flake (Links to an external site.), Mousterian Scraper (Links to an external site.)
Upper Paleolithic Objects: Venus of Willendorf (Links to an external site.), Solutrean Leaf Blade (Links to an external site.), Bird Figurine (Links to an external site.), Lion Man (Links to an external site.), Stone burin (Links to an external site.), drill (Links to an external site.),bone point (Links to an external site.), bone harpoon (Links to an external site.)
Look at the objects and address each of the questions (5 points each). I suggest drawing on your readings and/or lectures to add detail to your answers. You can either submit your answers by typing directly into the text box or uploading a Word document or PDF.
