SURVEY on random history! See how much you know!?

Hey ya'll





Our school is handing out random questions on different subjects and we're supposed to get at least 30 people surveyed over our 4-day weekend. I know, a lot, right?





That's why I need your help. I was assigned to do "The Tools of History" and "The Earliest Human Societies"





Please answer as many as you can!








1. What is another name for an early complex village? (2 words)





2. Tools, weapons, or sculptures from the past are also called what? (1 word)





3. A mattock, harpoon, or an ax are all what? (1 word)





4. What is an activity of a complex village? (1 word)





5. What was the holy person in the early communities called? (1 word)





6. Use of knowledge and inventions to meet needs is also called what? (1 word)





7. Term meaning "to raise animals" (1 word)





8. What type of map shows human-made features? (1 word)





9. The movement of these can reshape the Earth. (1 word)





10. History that was not written down is called what?/ (1 word)

SURVEY on random history! See how much you know!?
1) Metropolitan Area (Fancy way of saying city)


2) Relics/Artifacts


3) Tools/Weapons (all were originally non-combat tools, but also served as make-shift weapons)


4) Commerce/Trade (A simple village tends to have only enough to survive, but more advanced settlements have a level of technology/industry that allows them to produce a surplus of some sort whether it be food, items, or basic laborers that can be exported economically to other settlements.


5) Priest/Shaman (Shaman typically applied to primative, small-scale cultures and/or without formal organization with only a few (1-2, maybe 3) holymen, while the term priest was more applicable for cultures with a more structured religious system and organized groups of holymen.)


6) Industialization


7) Husbandry/Ranching (Husbandry is the general "old" term, while ranching (i.e. cattle ranch, horse ranch, etc.) is a more modern term)


8) Atlas?


9) Tectonics (techically it's "tectonic plates" a 2-word answer, but "Tectonics" is the equivelant for the field of geology that studies plate movements)


10) Lore/Folklore


11) ??? (No clue)


12) Continent


13) Penguins (Technically, most birds can be considered able to walk on 2 legs and non-human. Also, a few dinosaurs (reptilian) can be considered bipedal, but I'm going with penguins just because I saw "March of the Penguins" the other night on Discovery Channel)


14) Area?


15) Agricultural (Early civilizations are said to have entered an "Agricultural Age" when they develop the knowledge and tools to go from a "Hunter-Gatherer" society to one that can cultivate the land to produce food more efficiently by raising plant crops and animal herds.)
