Ground Rules


Rule #1:
Be respectful of others, even when you disagree.

Rule #2:
No foul language, because there is a mix of ages and sensitivities here. Refer back to Rule #1.

Rule #3:
Feel free to explore, but also feel free to come back and share what you've found.


Students:
If you have questions outside of class time that do not need an urgent answer, feel free to post them here. Also, I urge you to take some time to explore some of the links. If you find something which interests you and wish to explore further...it could gain you some extra class credit.

Clovis is More Than Just a Town in New Mexico


We have discussed Clovis culture in pre-Columbian America previously in class. So I thought that news of recently discovered Clovis DNA would interest some of you.
"Until recently, all that archeologists knew about the Clovis people came from studying their tools, which have been unearthed at wide-ranging sites across the country. Now, DNA analysis of a single human skeleton--that of a one-year-old boy buried in a rocky field in modern-day Montana--has allowed scientists to link the Clovis culture to Native Americans throughout the Western Hemisphere."
This video link will help refresh your memories about the origins of the Clovis culture and First Americans:
