Examples of Clovis culture in the following topics:
-
- Perhaps the most significant
civilization to develop in the Americas was the Clovis culture, which appeared
around 11,500 BCE (13,500 BP).
- A hallmark of the toolkit associated with the Clovis culture
is the distinctively shaped, fluted stone spear point, known as the Clovis
point.
- Nevertheless, Clovis people
are considered to be the ancestors of most of the indigenous cultures of the
Americas.
- Eventually, the Clovis culture was replaced by several more localized
regional cultures from the time of the Younger Dryas cold climate period
onward, about 12,000 years ago.
- Post-Clovis cultures include the Folsom
tradition, Gainey, Suwannee-Simpson, Plainview-Goshen, Cumberland, and
Redstone.
-
- In the 2000s, researchers sought to use
familiar tools to validate or reject established theories, such as the Clovis First / Single origin hypothesis.
- One of the earliest
identifiable cultures was the Clovis culture, with sites dating from some
13,000 years ago.
- The Clovis culture permeated much of North America and parts
of South America.
- It is not clear whether the Clovis people were one unified
tribe or whether there were many tribes related by common technology and belief.
- Some of these cultures developed innovative technology that encouraged cities and even empires.
-
- The Clovis culture is one of the earliest identifiable, with sites dating from 13,000 years ago.
- Examples include the Clovis culture and Folsom tradition groups.
- Examples include the Archaic Southwest, the Arctic small tool tradition, the Poverty Point culture, and the Chan-Chan culture in southern Chile.
- Examples include the Dorset culture, the Zapotec civilization, the Mimbres culture, and the Olmec, Woodland, and Mississippian cultures.
- Examples include the early Mayan and the Toltec cultures.
-
- Slave culture in colonial North America was largely a combination of tribal African culture, Christian worship, and resistance.
- In many respects, American slave culture was a culture of survival and defiance against the American slave system.
- African-based oral traditions became the primary means of preserving slave history, mores, and cultural information, and this was consistent with the practices of oral history in African cultures.
- Slaves also drew on other aspects of tribal African culture, such as herbal medicine and prayer.
- Describe how slave culture often paralleled forms of resistance to slavery in the United States
-
- Globalization refers to the process of international integration with regards to both culture and trade.
- The direction of cultural flows has often been one-sided, and worldwide export of Western culture to non-Western nations has proliferated through new forms of mass media: film, radio, television, recorded music, and most recently the internet.
- This process is marked by the common consumption of cultures that have been diffused by the Internet, popular culture media, and international travel.
- While cultural globalization has increased cross-cultural contacts, it has also been accompanied by a decrease in the uniqueness of once-isolated communities.
- Many argue it is a process of homogenization, and more specifically a process marked by the global domination of American culture at the expense and erasure of other cultures.
-
- Three of
the major cultural traditions that impacted the region include the
Paleo-Indian tradition, the Southwestern Archaic tradition, and the Post-Archaic
cultures tradition.
- A period of relatively wet conditions saw
many cultures in the American Southwest flourish.
- The American Indian Archaic culture eventually evolved into
two major prehistoric archaeological culture areas in the American Southwest
and northern Mexico.
- As cultural traditions began to evolve throughout the
Southwest between 7,500 BCE to 1,550 CE, many cultures developed similar
social and religious traditions.
- Many of the tribes
that made up the Southwest Culture practiced animism and shamanism.
-
- The prevailing culture of the Southern United States is said to be a "culture of honor," where people avoid unintentional offense to others and maintain a reputation for not accepting improper conduct by others.
- These social scientists compare the culture of honor found in the Southern United States to similar cultural values found in other subsistence economies dependent upon herding and places with weak governments.
- The Southern culture of honor also includes a notion that ladies should not be insulted by gentlemen.
- Randolf Roth, in his American Homicide (2009), states that the idea of a culture of honor is oversimplified.
- Dueling was one example of the South's "culture of honor
-
- Most peoples of the
Great Basin shared certain common cultural elements that distinguished them
from other surrounding cultures, and except for the Washoe, most of the groups spoke
Numic languages.
- Three of the major cultural
traditions that impacted the Southwest region include the Paleo-Indian
tradition, the Southwestern Archaic tradition, and the Post-Archaic cultures
tradition.
- As various
cultures developed over time and environmental changes allowed for many
cultural traditions to flourish, similar social structures and religious
beliefs developed.
- Because of the Empire’s high rate of literacy, political and
technological accomplishments, and economic unity, elements of Mexica and Nahua
culture spread throughout Meso-America and remain culturally significant today.
- A map showing the Hopewell Interaction Sphere and various local expressions of the Hopewell cultures, including the Laurel Complex, Saugeen Complex, Point Peninsula Complex, Marksville Culture, Copena Culture, Kansas City Hopewell, Swift Creek Culture, Goodall Focus, Crab Orchard Culture, and Havana Hopewell Culture.
-
- Influenced by restrictive laws and brutal treatment, slaves combined African and Christian customs to form a relatively homogeneous culture.
- Slave culture in the United States drew heavily on a variety of African tribal sources mixed with American Christianity to create a relatively homogeneous American slave culture that contributed to the shape of Southern plantation life.
- African-based oral traditions became the primary means of preserving slave history, mores, and cultural information: This was consistent with the griot practices of oral history in African cultures.
- Slaves also drew on other aspects of tribal African culture: such as herbal medicine and prayer.
- Many of these cultural styles and patterns still characterize worship in African American churches today
-
- Most of these were evident in the southeastern United States by 1,000 BCE with the Adena culture, which is the best-known example of an early Woodland culture.
- Although many of the Middle Woodland cultures are called Hopewellian, and groups shared ceremonial practices, archaeologists have identified the development of distinctly separate cultures during the Middle Woodland period.
- Examples include the Armstrong culture, Copena culture, Crab Orchard culture, Fourche Maline culture, the Goodall Focus, the Havana Hopewell culture, the Kansas City Hopewell, the Marksville culture, and the Swift Creek culture.
- In practice, many regions of the Eastern Woodlands adopted the full Mississippian culture much later than 1,000 CE.
- These sites were constructed within the Hopewell tradition of Eastern Woodland cultures.
