Full Description

This exam addresses the interpretation of climate impacts on ancient diets via the study of plant remains. Students will articulate the methods for assessing climatic influences and their implications for dietary changes.

Understanding the interaction between climate and human diets is vital for reconstructing the adaptability of ancient civilizations to their environments. These insights are critical in discussions about food security and adaptation strategies in historical contexts.

The assessment will test students' ability to verbally delineate the connections between climatic shifts and plant utilization in diets. Effective communication of this relation is essential for framing discussions in environmental archaeology.

Discussion points may also encompass the role of human agency in adapting to climatic changes as reflected in archaeological plant evidence.

Sample Questions

  • How do plant remains reflect the dietary adaptations of ancient humans to changing climates?
  • What role did human agency play in dietary shifts during climatic changes as inferred from archaeological data?
