Weekly Study Field Notes

Field notes are a very important part of anthropological research. Anthropologists use their field notes to make records about what they are seeing and thinking while conducting research. For your collaboration you are being asked to make your own field notes, based on the assigned course materials. Each week, as you read the assigned material or watch an assigned video, you will create a new set of field notes in which you are expected to write down such things as important concepts, things that you might have questions about, or even things that you find surprising or interesting. Just like the notes that an anthropologist makes in the field, your notes must be clear and easy to read because you will be sharing them with your peers in the collaboration

Reflections:

I thought it was interesting to read about the migration patterns of people to the islands and to the Americas. Also, how they were able to date civilization by stow away rats. Another thing was learning about the settlements of the early humans in to their new regions to grow crops and how they were able to domesticate animals to meet their needs. One thing that I loved learning about was Stonehenge and how it was possibly built. It was also interesting to learn about how skin color developed in the world and the health problems that accompany it.

Emerging questions/analyses:

What was the reason for humans to migrate? Was it an external factor or was it like the “manifest destiny”?

How were these cultures able to build these huge monuments?

Did they migrate only for food or was their other reasons?

Will people get past the race cards and learn to accept people of other pigments?

Where these monuments religious or were they landmarks?

Was this about the same time when social structures came about?

Important concepts:

Migration to other continents started about 50,000 years ago.

The Bering strait was once larger and able to be crossed for thousands of years.

Monuments were starting to be built.

Agriculture and domestication were becoming the new norm.

Possibly the beginnings of religions and cultures.
