In this assignment, you will use archaeology, geography, geology, biology, and ethnoarchaeology to investigate a Neolithic dwelling at the archaeological site of Jarmo. You will watch videos about mudbrick construction and read about the Neolithic Revolution. You will “make” an archaeological site and classify artifacts. You will infer how the geographic location of the Neolithic people of Northern Iraq shaped their dwellings, and discuss what we can learn about lifeways from the archaeological excavation of a dwelling. In a final composition, you will report what you learned.
What can we learn about the lives of the Neolithic people of Northern Iraq by investigating a house at the archaeological site of Jarmo?
