Quiz 1 quiz review guidelines

Your first quiz (5%, remember only the best 4 of 6 quizzes count) will be October 12 in tutorial.

Based on:

Fagan 2-84. Remember to look at the TWO separate glossaries at the back of the book, 451 and 456.

Course Kit readings for Oct 11: Putting the World in Perspective, The Essence of Anthropology, and The Nature of Anthropology       

Format: very short answer, fill in the blank, label the diagram. 25 minutes long. Some of the following will be on the quiz. There will be nothing on the quiz that I have not mentioned below. If you study this, you will be very well prepared.

N.B. The information that is in the textbooks, but not on this quiz review list, is also very important to your understanding of the subjects of archaeology and palaeoanthropology. You should, therefore, read it all. If you only study the bits mentioned below, you might do fine on the quizzes, but you will probably not do very well on your assignments and the take-home exam.
