Examination of Compiled Birth and Death Date Data
By averaging the ages of death for all of the seventeen (17) males in the data set, as well as the eighteen (18) females, it was possible to calculate the average age of death for each gender. For the thirty-five (35) subjects studied in this section of Oak Grove Cemetery, males were deceased at an average age of 63.65 years, while females were deceased at an average age of just 59 years. If one presupposes an average lifespan for this historical era of 60 years, the average difference of 4.65 years of lengthened life afforded to males represents an additional 7 per cent of lifespan simply on the basis of gender. While there may exist certain physiological tendencies which lead to males living for a longer time than females, the variety of socioeconomic disadvantages imposed on females during this historical era would appear to have had a prohibitive effect on the lengthening of life.
Another aspect of this study which bears further consideration is disparity between those who died before the turn of the 20th century, and those who died during the last years of the 19th century:
- for males who were deceased during the 1800's, the average age at the time of death was 54.85 years, while females were deceased at an average age of 43.63 years, for a difference of...
Females during this era were typically deceased at an earlier age than males, most likely due to the physical hardships of multiple pregnancies, and rudimentary female health practices. This data confirms the original hypothesis that females did not experience the same scale of lengthened lifespan as their male counterparts. However, during the 20th century, advancements in medical techniques and equalization of women's rights enabled females to enjoy a staggering lengthening of lifespan, as they enjoyed nearly double the amount of…
One other area of the world which is currently experiencing some major problems related to archeological excavations in public places is the Middle East, particularly Israel and within its capital city of Jerusalem. In this case study by Yigal Bronner and Neve Gordon, the main area of dispute lies with "the way archeology is being used in Silwan, a Palestinian neighborhood in the oldest part" of Jerusalem, where excavations, under
Artistic Analysis of "The Weeping Woman": A Plan to Develop a New Work The meaning of artistic work continues to evolve to mold into new forms and shapes.

But a multi-disciplinary approach is always useful. 4. Should archaeology students be required to take ethnographic methods classes? Yes, because that knowledge is necessary in understanding the cultures of local communities or indigenous people on whose territory an archeologist studies sites and artifacts. Local communities are also affected by excavations and the knowledge about them is essential for doing archaeology. 5. Why is timely publication important? The data are already old! One of
Western Culture -- Archeology and Perspective (2 paragraphs/250-300 wds) Imagine that you were Howard Carter. Consider the following questions in a two-paragraph essay.
