Unit 1.1 Discussion: Examine and Extend

The ancient artifacts from the Stone Age reflect the people’s beliefs, rituals, and lifestyle. Examine an artifact of your choosing, and consider its meaning; then, choose a sculptural or architectural artifact for your discussion posting.

Within your response, question the implications of both artifacts, and extend your knowledge by evaluating others’ input.

Unit 1.2 Discussion: Exploring

Imagine you are hiking through the French countryside, and you stumble upon an ancient Paleolithic cave, filled with ancient paintings.

Using the Bradshaw Foundation site, select one of the caves to explore. Create an explorer's log describing what you discover; relate the images to what you know about the Stone Age, and summarize how these images illustrate their civilization's ways of life.

Follow Discussion Criteria by replying to at least two other learning colleagues; discussing the differences and similarities of your explorations. Be creative! Include an APA formatted reference to your cave.
