ANTH 1022, Fall 2023 Lab 4 – Typology – Response Template (Zachary Ho) We are no longer accepting labs submitted in an incorrect file format (e.g. PDF, Pages) – they will receive a zero. Be sure to submit as a Word file (.doc or .docx). Your group has been asked to analyze a collection of objects from a hypothetical archaeological site in southwestern Ontario. All are real artifacts for which no contextual information is available. Working as a group, examine the artifacts and use the handout as a guide to help you create a typology for these artifacts. Record your typology in a tree diagram like the one on the handout, so you can refer back to it as you record your answers in the template below. Be careful – some of the stone objects have sharp edges. Don’t cut yourself! Write over the yellow highlighted text to input your answers to the questions below. Grading Q1 and Q2: There are may ways to answer these questions. As long as you follow the directions and there is an inherent logic to your categories, you will receive full marks. Q3 to Q5: The point value for each question is indicated. You will receive one mark for each correct and well explained/supported point you make. Question 1 Score: a) How many Classes do you have (Level 1)? (0.25 marks) b) What are they? (0.75 marks) Question 2 Score:  Which of your Classes (Level 1) has the most types and subtypes? Describe the characteristics of all subdivisions of that class below. (2 marks) Class: Enter number: 4 Describe them briefly ( 1-3 words each; Add/delete classes as needed ) Class 1: Metal, rusted Class 2: Bone, light color Class 3: Ceramics, decorative, comes from built object Class 4: rocks, points, jagged Enter name of class Rocks

ANTH 1022, Fall 2023 Types (Level 2): Subtypes (Level 3) Sub-subtypes (Level 4) Question 3  What could account for differences you observe between the different types and subtypes within this Class? In other words, what might these differences say about the people who made and used these objects and/or about the objects themselves? (3 marks; max 90 words) My word count is: Score: Add descriptions; max 1 line each; Add/delete types as needed 1: old pottery parts 2: Hitting stone 3: Flakes 4: points 5: random rocks Add descriptions; max 1 line each; Add/delete types as needed 1A: thinner, small size 1B: medium size, rough 2A: Largest, round, smooth 2B: super smooth, dark 3A: 3D shape, more volume 3B: 2D shape, less volume Add descriptions; max 1 line each; Add/delete sub-subtypes & Levels as needed 1A-1: darker but thin, opaque 1A-2: lighter and thin, translucent 1A-3: thicker and Dark, opaque Insert word count here 89 Insert answer here I noticed that the first types are put into the broadest types and as you go down and divide into smaller characteristics of the broader types into different subtypes, the items get more and more unique. I also noticed outliers in the materials, like bone and metal that belong in their own classes. The differences tell me that the people who made these object had different uses for every single object and the materials themselves demonstrate that certain materials are better at performing specific tasks as tools than others.

ANTH 1022, Fall 2023 Question 4  If you wanted to explore status differences across the site would your typology help you do that?  Why, why not or why is it hard to answer that question? (2 marks; max 60 words) My word count is: Score: Question 5  Does your typology say more about you or the people in the past?  Why? Hint: The why is important, not which one you choose (2 marks; max 60 words) My word count is: Score: Just for fun Play “ Guess that Skull” (so you can start thinking like a zooarchaeologist) Fill in your answer as a group on the sheet provided. There’s a prize if your group gets the most right! BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR ASSIGNMENT AS A WORD FILE. ASSIGNMENTS SUBMITTED IN ANOTHER FILE FORMAT WILL RECEIVE A ZERO. Total out of 10: Comments: Insert word count here 58 Insert answer here I think that the typology would help me divide people based on status differences in the same way it divided objects using the splitting T chart method. It can be hard to answer this question because typology depends on the specific context of research and status differences may be difficult to classify but I believe it is possible. Insert word count here 60 Insert answer here I believe typology says more about you because its built up based off your personal values biases, and point of view, this is why it is easier to analyze your beliefs rather than people in the past. For example, my typology will be different from someone else’s typology given the same data, ultimately reflecting one’s personal views through their typology.
