To discriminate artefacts from geofacts at a famous brasilian site, archaeologist Fabio Parenti used (one answer): the fact that there were always less than 3 flakes removed from only one side of the pebbles as a cultural norm the Levallois shape of the flaked pebbles nothing as he concluded it was impossible to differentiate geofacts from artefacts Ethnographical comparisons with current stone tools the presence of retouch and microretouch on several sides of the flaked pebbles

Ceramics are a diverse category of artefact and are undeniably useful because... (there are multiple correct answers for this question; select all the correct answers).Question 16Answera.ceramics are durable and survive in a wide range of soil conditions.b.museums require ceramic artefacts if they want to develop educational displays.c.ceramics tend to change over time, in terms of how they look and/or how they are made.d.we can determine the mineral composition of ceramics (clays), potentially allowing us to match similar ceramic sherds or vessels, or to identify the source of the production material (clay).

Technique, Form, Motif, Size and Character are some of the main characteristics described by archaeologists to create typology, or classification, of rock art to make sense of assemblages True False

What does the author imply by saying “Not a single pebble was found that mighthave indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent”?A. The most obvious explanation for the origin of the pebbles was not supported bythe evidence.B. The geologists did not find as many pebbles as they expected.C. The geologists were looking for a particular kind of pebble.D. The different pebbles could not have come from only one source.

Many archaeologists will tell you that categorizingexcavated fragments of pottery by style, period,and what objects they belong to relies not only onstandard criteria, but also on instinct developedover years of practice. In a recent study, however,researchers trained a deep-learning computer modelon thousands of images of pottery fragments andfound that it could categorize them as accurately as ateam of expert archaeologists. Some archaeologistshave expressed concern that they might be replacedby such computer models, but the researchers claimthat outcome is highly unlikely.Which finding, if true, would most directly supportthe researchers’ claim?A) In the researchers’ study, the model was able tocategorize the pottery fragments much morequickly than the archaeologists could.B) In the researchers’ study, neither the model northe archaeologists were able to accuratelycategorize all the pottery fragments that werepresented.C) A survey of archaeologists showed thatcategorizing pottery fragments limits the amountof time they can dedicate to other importanttasks that only human experts can do.D) A survey of archaeologists showed that few ofthem received dedicated training in how toproperly categorize pottery fragments.17Although military veterans make up a smallproportion of the total population of theUnited States, they occupy a significantly higherproportion of the jobs in the civilian government.One possible explanation for this disproportionaterepresentation is that military service familiarizespeople with certain organizational structures that arealso reflected in the civilian government bureaucracy,and this familiarity thus _______Which choice most logically completes the text?A) makes civilian government jobs especiallyappealing to military veterans.B) alters the typical relationship between militaryservice and subsequent career preferences.C) encourages nonveterans applying for civiliangovernment jobs to consider military serviceinstead.D) increases the number of civilian government jobsthat require some amount of military experienceto perform................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal. CO NTI N U E2318Birds of many species ingest foods containingcarotenoids, pigmented molecules that are convertedinto feather coloration. Coloration tends to beespecially saturated in male birds’ feathers, andbecause carotenoids also confer health benefits,the deeply saturated colors generally serve tocommunicate what is known as an honest signal ofa bird’s overall fitness to potential mates. However,ornithologist Allison J. Shultz and others have foundthat males in several species of the tanager genusRamphocelus use microstructures in their feathers tomanipulate light, creating the appearance of deepersaturation without the birds necessarily having tomaintain a carotenoid-rich diet. These findingssuggest that _______Which choice most logically completes the text?A) individual male tanagers can engage in honestsignaling without relying on carotenoidconsumption.B) feather microstructures may be less effectivethan deeply saturated feathers for signalingoverall fitness.C) scientists have yet to determine why tanagershave a preference for mates with colorfulappearances.D) a male tanager’s appearance may function asa dishonest signal of the individual’s overallfitness.19When writing The Other Black Girl (2021), novelistZakiya Dalila Harris drew on her own experiencesworking at a publishing office.
