There is room in the exhibit for one more piece of art. Each of the people in your department have a different suggestion for what they think should be included in the exhibit. Your task is to pick the piece that you think will be the best for the exhibit, create a paragraph to describe it, and create a replica of the object to display. I have days in class to complete my project. I have day to decide on an artifact and research. I have days to create my paragraph and replica. I will present my artifact in our class museum on the last day. I will be graded on: My use of class time My research notes My paragraphs My answers to questions My final museum display The effort I put in on the project I am going to try my very best every day and show level four effort.

2 Artifact: Background Information: Big Petroglyph Canyon from the Coso Range in California The Coso people lived many years ago in the mountains of California. This was a dry, desert environment. The Coso people were gatherers who hunted rabbit, antelope, and bighorn sheep. They did not live in one location and moved with the seasons. They would gather seeds, nuts, and acorns. They had few personal possessions because they moved so frequently. For centuries, the most highly prized (and one of the most difficult) animals to hunt was the bighorn sheep. They became easier to hunt once the bow and arrow were invented. Some scholars believe that the ancient petroglyph artists believed that rain would fall when a mountain sheep was killed. Some other scholars think that the rock art represents symbols that have to do with the stars, the creation of people, or the history of the Coso people. Materials: Rock Picture:

3 Artifact: Background Information: Materials: Ritual Cache from the Arizona Discovered wrapped and hidden in a remote, dry cave, this cache of ritual figures comes from Mogollon culture, which lived in the mountains of Arizona in the years 1400 to These bright colored figures are painted and decorated with colored string and feathers. The zigzags on the larger figure represent the sky. There is also a smaller yellow figure, a mountain lion (which was the chief predator in the region), two snakes, and throwing sticks. Testimony to the antiquity and endurance of the worship of earth and sky, and to the spiritual bonds between people and animals, these objects bear close resemblance to ritual figures and implements still seen and used among the diverse Pueblo people today. Wood, stone, plant fibers, cotton, feathers, animal hide, paint Picture:!

5 Artifact: Background Information: Materials: Hopewell Shaman The Hopewell Shaman is a small stone sculpture representing a shaman, or spiritual leader, of the Hopewell culture, who lived 2,000 years ago. It is a carving of a man, or woman, wearing a bear costume, including a bear's head and paws. The shaman's left hand is holding the bear's head as if caught in the act of lowering the mask over his face to complete his transformation into a bear spirit. In many tribal societies, the shaman served as a combination of priest and a healer. The shaman was believed to be able to bring rain for the crops or aid hunters in locating game animals. The Shaman of Newark may represent a character from a myth, such as Hercules, or it may be showing us a part of an ancient ceremony that existed nearly 2,000-years-ago. stone Picture:!

6 Artifact: Background Information: Materials: Tunic with brown bear and mountain spirit designs This tunic, or shirt, was created by the Tsimshian (tsim-shee-un) people in the 1800s. They lived in the Northwestern United States. They lived in cedar houses with bark roofs. Each house could hold several families, as many as 50 people. The Tsimshian people gathered plants, fished, and hunted for food. Tsimshian people did not usually wear much clothing in day-to-day life. However, during special ceremonies, men would wear tunics and leggings painted with special designs and symbols. Deerhide/deerskin, abalone shell, sinew, paint Picture:!

7 Artifact: Background Information: Materials: Bell Plain Jar in the form of a Frog The Mississippian People lived in the midwestern United States near the Mississippi River. This jar was created between the years 1200 and The Mississippian people grew much of their food, such as corn, beans, and squash. They ate wild plants and animals, such a deer, turkeys, fish, shellfish, and turtles. There were many streams and ponds around the areas where they lived. Mississippian people spent a lot of their time outdoors. They could sleep inside their small houses at night. The Mississippian people had strong religious beliefs and the important people in their communities played important roles in ceremonies.
