Archaeology: Identifying Socio-Political Structure at Chaco

Instructions: FIRST, read the following information and consult the websites listed at below for background on the differences between Bands, Tribes, Chiefdoms and States. Consider how we might identify the differences between these types of societies from archaeological remains. With this information, you will then answer the questions regarding the type of socio-political organization you think existed during the Chacoan period, and use data to back up your argument. [Hint: Chaco does not necessarily fit neatly into these archetypal categories, so you will have to decide how to interpret different aspects of the Chacoan archaeological record. Remember to consider archaeological information from both inside and outside of Chaco Canyon itself]. You can use information from class lectures, as well as chapters that were not assigned from class, and additional outside books or websites, as long as you cite them in your paper.

The only restrictions are that papers be based on Family, Religion, or Music and that they focus on Africa and/or the African diaspora. Some examples might be the Evolution of Hip-Hop Music or How the African-American family has changed over time. Good luck and be creative with your topics!

How would you respond if someone were to say to you, “It doesn’t matter whether you can prove that the events described in the Bible actually happened or not—you just have to accept it all on faith”? Using insights from Tilley’s book, write your answer to that question. What kind of faith is this person referring to when they make such a statement to you? Is there another way to think of faith? And how does this other way of thinking about faith relate to the biblical texts that we have studied in this course? Can one have faith that is based on myths? Must faith be based on history? What is your approach to all of this after having taken this course? The sources needed are – Faith: What it is and What it isn’t written by Terrence W. Tilley. Another source that would be helpful is a book we read in class called “Slaying the Dragon” by Bernard F. Batto. We also read a book by David Leeming called Myth: A Biography of Belief.
