Summer I, 2009

Thanks for a great class, everyone!  I hope you have a great summer!  Anyone interested in picking up your graded exams before July 11 can drop by the Anthropology Office, SB 100.  I will be on vacation for the next few weeks, and will not be available to go over them with you.  After July 11, please make an appointment with me.

Special Web Bonus II!!

A large amount of early American archaeology involved deciding who built the Mississippian and Hopewell mounds.  It was generally believed that the mounds were built by the Welsh, the lost tribes of Israel, or the Phoenicians.  Write a paragraph on why you think this is the case, being sure to bring up points from class.  5 points.
