I would like to introduce you to a very good friend of mine named "Andy." Andy is not very bright when it comes to Ancient Civilization. He is also seriously lacking any common sense skills. Andy has been feeling down in the dumps lately because he doesn't know anything about anything. Recently, we had a conversation: Andy: "Gosh, I just feel dumb lately."
Mr. Klumper: "You aren't dumb, Andy, you just don't know anything."
So, I told him I could help him at least learn about ancient civilizations. For this, I am turning to you, my intelligent 6th graders to help educate Andy. We will be trying to educate Andy all year about the ancient worlds we learn about. The first ancient civilization we will teach Andy about is the Stone Age. I told Andy we would teach him about the Stone Age first, and he got really excited and made a bunch of neanderthal noises. So, it is now up to you to Educate Andy.
Here are a few possible topics to teach him about: Otzi the Iceman, Deadliest Warrior: Neanderthal Vs. Cro-Magnon, Cave art, Hunters/Gatherers Notes, Early Farmers Notes, Vocabulary words from your packet, I Discovered Fire, Before We Ruled the Earth..., You Are There, and anything else you would like to tell him.

Hey 7th graders I am excited to let you know that I will be looking forward to learning about Math!
ReplyDeletehey andy i am gonna talk to you about OTZI the iceman. Otzi was a guy that lived in the himalayas. And no one knows how he died but i think he died because of murder. Otzi was carrying an unstrung bow and arrows. he had a backpack that was empty and a little box that was empty to. he also had afur coat a copper axe and a box that wasnt empty. thats how people presumed that he was robbed. thats all andy by the way were sixth graders not seventh and your gonna learn about the ancient world not math.
ReplyDeleteCave art can tell you a lot of things like how they hunted. Deadliest warrior: Neaderthal vs cro Magnon cromanon can win couse they are smarter than the neanderthal. Otzi has died in ice. Prehistory long peried of time before people developed system of righting. Artifact is an object that is made out of pottery.
ReplyDeleteHi andy I am ty I looking forward to teach you so here is some stuff about the stoneage there are people called nianderthalls thay lived before we did.
ReplyDelete. i learned about how the neanderthals disovered fire.
ReplyDelete. i learned that cave art is inportant.
. i learned hpw they hunted.
. i learned how unsmart and strong they are.
. i learn some of the animals and tools they had.
ha ha its social studies!! and we are sixth graders!!
ReplyDeleteAndy one of the stone age vocabulary words is migrate which means to move from one place to another.
ReplyDeleteDear Andy,
ReplyDeleteOne thing i am going to share with 3 vocabulary word. First word is artifact,a artifact is a old tool that people used a long time ago.
Second is Excavation Site is where archaeologist uncover artifacts.
3rd is archaeologist,it means the study of past cultures that remain like buldings,or tool.
Facts about the people from a long time ago:
People along time ago couldnt just go to a store and buy a hand axe, they had to make it themselfs. They killed with there tools for food. The people from along time ago didnt know how to talk,they dress way different than we do this very day.
Hey Andy did you know that prehistory means a long period of time before people developed systems of writing
ReplyDeleteHey Andy! Want to know something about cave art? Archaeologist use cave art to tell about the past. Suppose there is a pig, donkey, and a cow on the wall of a cave. That would tell you that in those times they had pigs, donkey's and cows.Hope you learn a lot more!
ReplyDeleteHappy Educating!
1. A nomad is a person who moves from place to place without a permonate home.
ReplyDelete2. A Neatherthals have huge noses and they help keep them warm.
3. One of the Cro-Magnon wepons were the Spear that they could through a long range.
4. Otzi is the oldest man that has been found.
5. A coupel of some prehistoric animals are the mamoth, the saber tooth cat, and the Mastodon.
Hi Andy, I would like to tell you some interesting stuff about the stone age. I learned that there are different types of speices back then they were called the neanderthals. The neanderthals were not very smart but had huge hands and noses also huge molars to eat hard stuff. Now about Otzi nowbody really nows the truth about how he died but they all now he was the oldest person to live. I think he died of hypothemia because they were up in the Alps and its very cold up there. I dont think that he would of died from a battle, assonation or robbed because this is all taking place in the Alps. While i was watching the video before i ruled the earth i saw that the neanderthals had a club,torch, hand axe, heavy spear and stone tools. But the cro-magnons had a copper axe that was very vaulable, bow and arrow, and a long spear that could be thrown very far. By the looks of the tools the cro-magnons look like they have won over the neanderthals. In the stone age there are some very dangerous animals they had to hunt like the irish elk and the bison. They had to hunt by chasing them of a cliff and charging at them with torches, In the first hunt they failed there torches went out and the second hunt they found a substance called resin that stayed the torches lit. Even in the damp weather and rain. They succeded in the sencond hunt and the elk fell off the cliff.
ReplyDeletehello andy! my name is gracie. i would like to tell you some things about the stone age, so you will not feel so dumb. the first thing you should know is some vocabulary words, so if a word pops up you dont know, you wont be so confused. anyway the first vocab word is prehistory: a long period of time before people developed writing. next word archaeology: the study of cultures through artifacts, what are artifacts? artifacts are objects made by people long ago. such as pottery and bow and arrows. okay one more word and then we will move on, next word is migrate, migrate is to move from one place to another. that should be good for vocabulary, now lets move on to that long word, neanderthals, neanderthals are a nother human species like they have huge noses to keep then warm, they have huge molors to chomp on hard meat, they have very good knolege of berrys and they only use stone tools. they are also known for there strong hands. they use torches and a hand ax and also a club and heavy spears for tools. now lets talk about the cro magnons this is probebly the last thing i will teach you for the night. so anyway, the cromagnons are very smart andthey use a copper ax. they are a little different than the neaderthals they have long arms and legs, they use a bow and arrow, there spears can go a long range and they use a knife. sorry mr klumper if this is too long! :(
ReplyDeleteOtzi the iceman, He was found by two hikers and they started trying to break him out and most of the clothing got ruined.Some of the artifacts that were found with the body are cape,copper ax,backpack,canister,bow and arrow but only two ready too be shoot and the rest not ready to be fired.
ReplyDeleteBefore we ruled the earth is a movie talking about Neanderthals and Cro-magnons. Cro magnons are smarter there basically like us. They were smarter then the neanderthals,death was common for the neanderthals like during the winter or while they hunting.
Prehistory,long period of time before people developed a system of writing. Archeology study of the past cultures through the things that remain such as buildings,tools,or pottery. Artifact,an object made long ago. evocation site,were archaeologist uncover artifacts.and Migrate were people move one place to another.
you are there is what you do and try to make the write decisions and try to make it to the end alive.
Cave art,Cave art bis what people did to tell what they were doing at that moment and explain how things were or how they were planing to do something.
Hope i educated you Andy!
Wowsers! this all sounds real interesting guys and gals. I noticed that 4mackenzieh said that Netherlands people have large noses... do any of you think that Mr. Klumper is from the netherlands? You guys all seem so smart over there at Patrick Henry, sorry for mistaking you guys for 7th graders, and for being Math students, I think i might have lost some brain cells the time Mr. Klumper pushed me off the roof during work. But I am really curious about this OTZI guy how did they figure he even lived!!! If he is super duper old and stuff!! explain more guys. You all seem really intelligent. I'm off to bed though my mom says until i can get a D on an assignment in school i need to go to bed before 10! HAHA i'm in college! Thanks for your help! keep posting
ReplyDelete- Domesticate means to tame animals.
ReplyDelete- Harvest means to gather things.
- Migrate means to move from one place to another.
- An artifact is something that was made from long ago.
- Did you know that if a Neanderthal (cave man) and a Cro-Magnon(us) fought to the death, if the neanderthal had a stone tipped spear and the Cro-Magnon had bow and arrows the Cro-Magnon would win because the bow and arrow has longer range and the stone tipped spear is heavier (not very good range).
cave art is art on walls of caves.
ReplyDeletethe Cro-Magnon is fast aand tall.
the Neanderthal is small and slow.

ReplyDeleteTo Andy
PS I'm not that smart either.
we are from brandon vally not patrick henry!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Andy MR.klumper told us a lot about you ;) hehehe. Well here are some of the things i remember.
ReplyDeleteYou are there: this was a game that Mr.klumper made! Its about where you go back to the stone age and you have to make desistions. You have a score sheet and you have to write down what you chose.
Cave Art: Cave art is art done on walls by neanderthals (cave men). People who study them learn a lot frome the past! In class Mr.Klumper made us do our own on a piece of paper and other students had to figure them out. it was A Lot of fun!
Vocabulary Word: One vocab word was migrate, it means to move from one place to another. Sentence; The birds are migrating south for the winter.
Otzi the video: Mr.Klumper made a video pretending he was discovering Otzi. Otzi is a guy from long ago that they found froze in the ice with only his head out!
Before we ruled the earth: This is videos of renactimint of how they thought the neanderthals lived. They had awesome grapics and good sounds.
Hope i gave you some helpful info! :)
Hi Andy, it is really nice to meet you. I have heard great and not so good stuff about you! Since you want to know more stuff about Otzi the Iceman I'll tell you some things! He was discovered in the mountains between Austria and Italy by some random hikers that were hiking(of course) and they saw part of his upper body sticking out of the ice in the ground. They got the Italian Police there and they thought is was a old, fake body. But soon they discovered it was real.They tried to get it out with a jack- hammer wich destroyed much of Otzi's clothing. Also the Italian police (wich I wouldn't want on my police squad)Thought it was a recent death! Funny huh?
ReplyDeleteSo anyhow the body turned out to be Otzi the Iceman. The oldest body every found in the worlds history.If you look at his picture on Google Images its nasty/awesome! Andy I hope this help out with you urge to find out stuff about Otzi.
Yours Truly,
3 Braiden P
Hi Andy I'm Tate Evans and I would be more than happy to tell some differences about the Cro-Magnons and the Neandertals.
ReplyDeleteNeanderthals have low intellegence unlike us the Cro-Magnons.
Neanderthals were short and stalky and meant for winter, however the Cro-Magnons were slim,tall,and had long legs and arms.
The Cro-Magnons were most likely faster runners because their long legs, the Neanderthals which were short and sort of hunch back.
The Neanderthals have strong, rough, and tough hands that can stand large amount of heat and couldn't get a cut very easily.
Oh and by the way Andy Otzi was found on the border of Austria and Italy by two random hikers.The hikers called the Italian police and the police thought it was a RECENT death!(and before that they thought it was a doll).
When they found Otzi they saw a head(with a hole in the back of it) an arm and a the shoulders.Then they immediatly start jack hammering the ice then the result of that more people started bashing the ice with poles and axes damaging most of Otzi's clothes.
Finally the police called a smart person... Dr.Henn. When Dr.Henn inspected the body he realized it was ancient. The body was dry, and had yellow skin, it had been prezerved in the ice for a very very very long time and it turns out that Otzi was the oldest mummy ever found and was shipped to a musuem to be inspected.
Thanks andy for letting me tell you about Cro-Magnons,Neanderthals, and Otzi the Iceman
Hi Andy i will teach you about Deadliest Warrior. The Neanderthals have huge noses to keep their bodys warm. They know alot aboutberries. They have huge molars.Very low intelligence wich could be vital for their knowledge for tools. They only have stone tools. But their really strong hands kinda makes up for it . Then yet their small. They have torches, hand ax made out of rock,a club, and a heavy spear wich they can't throw.
ReplyDeleteI want to let you know that neadrathals are built for colder weator and that they have big noses.
ReplyDeleteHey Andy I'm going to teach you about the Ancient world. First off I'm going to teach you about Otzi the Iceman. Well scientists
ReplyDeletesay that Otzi was from the ice age. They found his head and shoulders sticking out of the ice. The people that found him contacted the local Italian police and had them check it out. The police thought that it was a doll but soon found out that this was a real body. The police thought it was a recent death, but when the scientists came they said that the body has been preserved in the ice for thousands of years. How Otzi died is still a mystery. Cave art is also very interesting. Cave art is drawings that people from the past put on cave walls long ago. Cave art is used to tell us stories of hunts and life back in time. The people drew the drawings on the uneven surfaces of cave walls. This made the cave drawings look real. Hope this helps you learn about the stone age.
you want to know 5 things huh?? well i will tell you 5 things!!
ReplyDelete1. The Neanderthals had very strong hands and they were short and stocky.
2. Otzi is the oldest person ever found and he was frozen when people found him.
3. During the Ice Age the Neanderthals found it very hard to survive. They needed to find food and that was very difficult.
4. By the cave art we find we can figure out about what the Stone Age was like.
5. The Neanderthals did not progress that much. They basically just invented a couple new things to make their lives a little more easy. The humans did way more inventing!!
Those are just some random facts i thought you might want to know?? i hqave a questoin for you: Are you blonde??
Hi Andy. My name is Felicity Klinkhammer. Im glad to teach you about Otiz the Iceman. He was discoved between Austria and Italy. Nobody Knows how he died, but I think it is from robbery. He was the oldest person to live. When they found Otiz they saw his head and shoulder. They immediatly started jack hammering the ice. the result was damaging most of Otizs clothes. Finally Dr. Henn insoeced the body and realized that the body was ancient. it had dry, yellow skin. It had been prezerved in the ice for a very very long time. It turns out that Otiz was the oldest mummy ever found.
ReplyDeleteDawson S.
ReplyDeleteHi Andy, I heard from Mr. Klumper that you wanted to learn more about the Stone Age. Here are 5 things I learned this year that might help you....
1. Otzi was discovered by 2 hikers in the Alps in 1991. They learned this was the oldest body ever to be found.
2.Andy do you no what a artifact is? Well I am going to tell you. A artifact made by people long ago such as potery and arrow heads.
3. The people in the stone age are called neanderthals.They are people from along time ago.Let me discribe them for you they are stinky, smelly, hairy and they did not talk like us today. They used grunts head nods and signals.
4.The animals in the stone age are not like animals in our world today. Back then there were sabertooth tigers, woolly mammoths, and mastodons.
5. We learned about excavation sites. They are places where archeologists find artifacts and it helps them learn more about the stone age. Here are some examples,arrow heads, pottery, bones, stone tools, and others.
THAT IS ALL ANDY!!!!
hi andy i heared u were not very smart well here are some things that i learned about the cave art. the archeoligests found the art in a cave u know that the art was pictures of animals they hunted, waht they did, and how they lived and survived. who do u think is goin to win the deadlist warrior? i thought the neatherlands were goin to win but i am not goin to tell u who won. so andy how old are u i am 11 years old and not in 7th grade but 6th. so i hope this helps u learn about the stone age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Andy.
ReplyDeleteHeres some things you should know about the Stone Age.
1. Otzi the Iceman was discovered by 2 hikers.
2. There was a period of time called the Ice Age. This was where the earth was covered in ice.
3. to domesticate means to tame
4. artifacts teach us about the past
5. Some animals in the Ice Age were the giant sloth, the sabre tooth tiger, and the american mastodon.
Hey Andy! The word I want to tell you the meaning is: Artifact. An artifact is a piece of history that arcaeologists find. They study the artifacts and learn more about the past.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is the Neandrathals hunted Elk by scaring it off a cliff while holding torches. The rest of the tribe would wait at the bottom of the cliff to retrive the Elk when it fell.
Also, the Neandrathals had very big hands, teeth, and noses. Their noses were big to keep them warm.
When the Cro-magons came they had rounder heads and smaller noses but they were smart.
When Otzi was discovered his body had been preserved by the ice. Lots of people tried to take him out of the ground but couldn't. They even tried jackhammers!!!!
The last word is:Pre-history. It means the long periiod of time before writing. All the things you have been learning were taken place in the period of Pre-hisrory.
Hey Andy I think I'll tell you about Otzi the iceman. He was discovered in a glacier. Nobody knows how he died. Some say it was hypolthermia. Others say he might have been robbed or assinated. Lastly he is also currently being preserved in a mueseum. Also happy learning!
ReplyDeleteHi Andy here are some things you should know:
ReplyDelete1.Otzi the ice man was found by 2 hikers, and the ice age where the earth was covered in ice.
2. Migrate means, to move from one place to another.
3. Agriculture, to raise plants and animals for human use.
4. Neanderthals had big nose, short, low intelligence and they use a heavy spear.
5. In the stone age there were animals called, saber tooth cat and irish elk.
Hi Andy! My name is Sydney. I would like to help you learn about the stone age, so you don't feel so clueless.
ReplyDelete1.Otzi the Iceman was found by two hikers in the Himylayas.
2.Nomads were people who would move a lot beacause food and supplies would run out eventually.
3.Neadrathals mostly hunted for the Irish Elk.
4.The main weapons of neadrathals are spears and axes.
5.I think Otzi died of hypothermia because it was so cold out.
REMEMBER ANDY YOU ARE NOT DUMB YOU ARE VERY INTELLIGENT!!!!!!

Task- Otiz was killed by murder. 2. Cave art was like a diary for neanderthals. 3. The neanderthals made fire by put in resin on a stick and burn it. 4.The neanderthals had big hands used for fighting and stuff. 5.Neanderthals they are hunters and gathers are their main characteristic.
ReplyDeleteWow these Neanderthals sound cool, but I don't mean to be mean but... they sound kind of ugly? So now when ever i see people at college with big noses and tall and skinny with big hands I am going to ask them if they are Neanderthals instead of calling them ugly. Was that really OTZI in Mr. Klumper's video too? I thought he died. Holy Buckets I am confused. Do you think he ever shingled? I am a big time shingler... way better than Mr. Klumper but wouldn't that be sweet if OTZI shingled too!!! and shout out to Bryce, he said that he isn't very smart in his post but he seems awfully intelligent so keep it up. Thank you to all you smart 6th graders meow. You kids are doing a great job maybe i'll get to come visit your class some day!
ReplyDeleteBefore I leave you I will tell you about a recent conversation me and Mr. Klumper had:
Andy: "Dan, Could you get me a warm glass of milk please? It helps me think"
Mr. Klumper: "Oh Andy, you can trouble me for a warm glass of shut up, now get studying you don't know anything."
What's up Andy! here is some stuff that we learned about:
ReplyDelete1 Cave art is made by people from long ago.
2 Neanderthauls chased elk off to kill it.
3 Harvest means to gather.
4 The first closest thing to us in the Stone Age was the Cro-Magnon.
5 Otzi is a man who died and got preserved in the ice so now we can learn alot about him.
I hope you know how to read:)
Bryce, You are a smart kid. I believe that and you need to believe that too.
ReplyDeletehey andy im going to tell you about otzi the iceman.Otzi was found in the alps by two hikers.many people tryed getting him out of the ice with jack hammers but that destoryed most of his clothing.Finally someone who new a thing or two got him out of the ice for rescreach.
ReplyDeleteHey Andy,my name is Kelsy and I am going to tell you about the stone age.
ReplyDelete1. OTZI was found by two hikers in the Himylayas.
2. OTZI was the oldest body ever found.
3.Neanderthals use spears and a hand axe for tools.
4.Harvest means to gather.
5.Migrate means move from one place to another.
Hey Andy, im going to be talking to you about Otzi the Iceman. nobody knows how Otzi died, there could of been many ways he could of died. He could of died be hypothermia,and also could of got robbed. One of the things I learned in social studies that I will share with you Andy is,Neanderthalls have giant molers to eat hard food. Also everything I learned about in Stone Age. Everything about the Neanderthalls aand the animals that lived in the Stone Age. Another really cool thing I know is, when humans first learned about neanderthalls and all of the animals, they looked at the cave art that the Neanderthalls did. What im going to share with you andy is a vocabulary word, that word is domesticate. The word domesticate means to tame. Well that is all i have for you Andy, I hope you learned alot.
ReplyDeleteHey Andy,
ReplyDeleteim louis and im here to tell you about cro-magnons and neanderthals 1.cro-magnons have long legs and neanderthals dont. 2.neanderthals bodys make them stay warm well on the other hand cro-magnons don't and in the winter they are cold. 3.neanderthals are much stronger than a cro-magnon because there life is more rough. 4. cro-magnons have light spears to throw and neanderthals have heavy spears and they have to stab and jab well thats all i can tell you.
And you are not dumb you are very intelligent with our help to tell about ancient history.
yo andy i would like to share some stuff from the stone age specifically the most deadliest worrior was the neanderthal at the end of the period
ReplyDeletenetherland people have very large noses.cave art was how people told what they did and what they hunted.The netherlandsknow lots about barries.The cro-magnon were fast and tall and the netherlands where small and slow.One of the vocabuary words is harvest it means to gather a nather one we learned was domesticate means to tame.
ReplyDeleteTwo guys found the elbow and head sticking out of the ground, that is how they found Otzi.
ReplyDelete1.In the Stone Age we would be considered as Cro-Magnons.
ReplyDelete2.Otzi was found in 1991 by two hikers hiking.
3.The pine resin is what helped them control the fire.
4.Cave Art helps us learn about what neanderthal did during their lives.
5.An Excavation Site is where archaeologists uncover artifacts.
The oldest person ever found was someone known as Otzi. He was found by two Italian hikers in 1991 on the border of Austria and Italy. At first they thought they had found a dead man poking out from under the ice, so they called the police. The police thought they only had seen a doll, but after taking a closer look, they changed their minds, and thought it was a recent death. So, getting a jack-hammer they tried to free the body by breaking the ice around the man. People tried helping using poles and axes. All of this destroyed much of the clothing he was wearing. The Dr. Henn came along. He took a look at the body, and seeing its dry yellow skin he saw it was not a recent death, but an ancient person. They shipped it to a museum just to find out that it was the oldest mummy ever to be found. Otzi was 5'2", had brown curly hair, and was about 45 years old. Their were a few tatoos were found on him. His teeth were worn so he probably ate a lot of grains and bread. After looking in his colon they found that his last meal was wheat bread, meat, and some green herbs or veggies. The clothes, even though they were damaged, people found he was wearing leather pants, a animal hide jacket, a fur cap, shoes stuffed with hay for warmth and a cape to keep warm.
ReplyDeleteCave art has been found in caves, pictures on the walls drawn by people who were much like Otzi. Paint was made from crushed stones so they could make the pictures. The cave art showed pictures of daily life for the painters. They painted people hunting and animals, like the giant mammoth, small deer-like animals and long horned animals that resembled a bull. The paintings have taught archeologists about the early people, along with hidden artifacts. These things were important to find if you want to learn more about the times of prehistory. Prehistory is the time before books and writing.
Archeology is the study of the past through artifacts. This is an important way to learn about times in prehistory. Artifacts are things used by people from long ago. Pottery, tools, arrow heads, weapons, and ashes from fires are all artifacts that help us all learn about the people who lived in the times of the Stone Age.
A time in the Stone Age was the Ice Age. It took place about 11,000 years ago. The Ice Age was when the face of the earth was covered in huge glaciers, or sheets of ice, covered the surface of the earth. The cold was harder to live in even for the tough neanderthals, but that didn't stop large animals to roam across the snowy cold lands. Sabre Tooth cats with long sharp fangs and the American Mastodons with strong tusks were some of these animals. The animals that thrived in this freezing period of time were very large, like the Irish Elk. It was HUGE! The giant elk couldn't be killed with spears, so some people think that the hunters would chase it off cliffs, and it would fall to its death. When the Ice Age ended, all the ice melted, and the oceans filled with more water. Then the ground thawed, and the land was a good place to plant crops.
The Old Stone Age was a time that had very little progress. Heavy spears were still being used and the tools were still very simple, but then the New Stone Age came along. The thing that brought the world to the new part of the age was metal working. Now, people used polished stones to make tools, and more tools were being made to do more tasks, like rocks for cutting meat and some for cleaning and softening hides. And now that the Ice Age had passed, the land was perfect for farming. This was when people started domesticating plants and animals for their use. To domesticate means to tame. They started growing rice, wheat and barley. The animals they tamed were cows, dogs, sheep, and goats. The benefits they got from these animals were milk and wool, and when these animals were used to plow fields, they were able to sell and trade surplus, which is the extra crop they could sell to get more of what they needed.
Hi Andy!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Crow-magnons where people like us they were smart tall looked alot like us.
Neanderthals were people before us they were fat not very smart, they are really known to be short and stalky.
Otzi the iceman was found in the ice with a cape bow and arrow backpack and some other belongings.
An artifact is something found made by people long ago that tells us about them.
Cave art is a picture that people have drawn a long time ago, people use them to figure out how they hunted or what they ate.
Sorry Andy if you cant read any of these comments.
Hey Andy I will be teaching u along with my classmates about ancient civilization like:
ReplyDelete.Mesopotamia
.Ancient Egypt
.Ancient China
.Ancient Greece
.Ancient India
and here are some words you can look up:
prehistory
archaeology
artifacts
domesticate
excavation site
migrate
harvest
agriculture
technology

ReplyDeletehey andy this is what i learnd in th stone age. Historians divide the stone age into three different periods, based on the sophistication and methods of tool design. The first such period is referred to as the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age. The Old Stone Age began about 2 million years ago with the development of the first tools by Homo Habilis, and lasted until around 12,000 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age began around 12,000 years ago, and continued through about 8,000 years ago. The Neolithic or New Stone Age lasted from 8,000 years until around 5,000 years ago.

Excavation Site- is where achaeoligts dig for artifacts.
Artifacts- A couple of artifacts are pottery, arrowheads, and ashes.
Nomad- Nomad are people that travel place to place without a permaunt home.

ReplyDeleteHey Andy um i wanted to tell you that Otzi the Iceman was found in 1991. When they found him they just saw his head and shoulders sticking out of the ice. He was found on the borders of Austria and Italy.
ReplyDeleteDr.Henn aririves on the scene and he figures out that the body is ancient because he had dry yellow skin, yellow teeth.
Otzi was 5'2 and had brown curly hair, he was 45 years old, had tatoos on his body and they were on his ankle, lower back, and his kneecap.
He was wearing leather pants, a jacket made from hides,fur cap, and soft shoes stuffed with hay for warmth.
Italian police thought it was a doll at first and he quickly figured out that is was real. He thought it was a recent death. They started to dig him out with a jack hammer and other people used poles and axes. That destoyed alot of the clothing found on the Iceman. It was very interesting to learn about Ozti.
Andy did you know that Otzi is the oldest mummy ever found? And that the neanderthals have big noses to keep them warm in the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteHey Andy, Mr. Klumper says you aren,t that smart. So how about I teach you some vocabulary words.
ReplyDelete1. Perhistory- prehistory is a period of time before people developed a system of writing.
2. Archaeology- archaeology is the study of past cultures through things like pottery and tools.
3. Artifact- an artifact is a object made by people along time ago.
4. Excavation Site- Excavation Site is where archaeologist uncover artifacts.
5. Migrate- migrate is to move from one place to another.
I hope this improves your smarticles.
Hi Andy I am Paige and I am going to tell you about a variety of things ok get ready. Otzi was a guy that lived in the himalayas. And no one knows how he died but i think he died because of murder. Otzi was carrying an unstrung bow and arrows. he had a backpack that was empty and a little box that was empty to. he also had afur coat a copper axe and a box that wasnt empty. thats how people presumed that he was robbed. Cave art can tell you a lot of things like how they hunted. migrate which means to move from one place to another. artifact is a old tool that people used a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteExcavation Site is where archaeologist uncover artifacts.
Archaeologist,it means the study of past cultures that remain like buldings,or tool. People along time ago couldnt just go to a store and buy a hand axe, they had to make it themselfs. They killed with there tools for food. The people from along time ago didnt know how to talk,they dress way different than we do this very day. Prehistory means a long period of time before people developed systems of writing. A nomad is a person who moves from place to place without a permonate home.A Neatherthals have huge noses and they help keep them warm. One of the Cro-Magnon wepons were the Spear that they could through a long range. Otzi is the oldest man that has been found. A coupel of some prehistoric animals are the mamoth, the saber tooth cat, and the Mastodon. neanderthals are a nother human species like they have huge noses to keep then warm, they have huge molors to chomp on hard meat, they have very good knolege of berrys and they only use stone tools. they are also known for there strong hands. they use torches and a hand ax and also a club and heavy spears for tools. now lets talk about the cro magnons this is probebly the last thing i will teach you for the night. so anyway, the cromagnons are very smart andthey use a copper ax. they are a little different than the neaderthals they have long arms and legs, they use a bow and arrow, there spears can go a long range and they use a knife. Thank you for reading and sorry if my post is too long
