QUESTION 1: Read pages 161-166 of your text that discusses “cultures, periods, & phases” then view the 3 PPTs in this module (Mimbres, Hohokam, AP-Mog-Gone). Using this information what kinds of things can you infer using assemblages, periods, or phases when talking about these three groups? (AP=Ancestral Pueblo, formally known as Anasazi; Mog=Mogollon; Mimbres is part of Mogollon.) Can you find similarities between some of them? What makes them different from each other?
Use specific examples from your book & the PPTs to post–try to use vocabulary from the chapter where appropriate (assemblages, archaeological culture, phase, etc.)
QUESTION 2: After reading Chapter 7 you will learn about types and attributes. Using what you have learned “type” ONE of the three photos below. Discuss (& define) which method you used and how you would group the items based on that method. (explain your answer)
