Archaeology Thoughts! by Regan Hagemeier https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb After watching the first 4 videos on the YouTube playlist, record 3 things you learned, 2 things you found most interesting, and 1 question you still have about archaeology. en-us 2019-03-17 23:14:53 UTC 2026-01-03 19:39:23 UTC hello@padlet.com 3.I learned that the maya had a 79 foot pyramid that had 365 steps. I learned that they used a 12 pound ball to play pok a tok they would throw humans in a well to sacrifice them. 2. I'm interested that they throw humans in a well. I'm also interested that people are playing pok a tok with a twelve lb ball. 1. why would they use a well to sacrifice people to the rain gods. leonardiello https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444587503 2020-02-12 19:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444587503 Ella Fireovid ellafireovid https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444587594 I learned from the YouTube videos are that people get thrown into waters to get sacrificed for the gods. I also learned that they used 12 pound rubber balls for pok a tok. One more thing I learned is that one of the pyramids they built was 79 feet tall. I think one thing I found intresting is that some people were sacrificed by being thrown into the bodies of water. I also found something most intresting is that the pok a tok ball was 12 pounds. One question I still have about archaeology is how many pyramids have they found?]]> 2020-02-12 19:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444587594 alexandrasoldner https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444587733 After watching the 4 videos 3 things I learned is that people would get thrown into the wells to be sacrificed to the rain god. Also that they use a 12 pound ball to play pok-a-tok and that the pyramid had 365 steps for the 365 day of the year. Two things I found interesting were that the the pyramids that they built were 79 feet tall and that the sun makes a snake 2 days a year.

I also learned that the pyramid was 79 or 72 feet tall. Lastly, I learned that the pyramid on the spring and the autumn eclipse the sun creates a serpent shadow on the stairs and leads to the head. I think it is super interesting that the tall pyramid had 365 steps for 365 days in a solar year. I also found people getting thrown into the water to be sacrificed interesting. How did playing pok-a-tok and adding sacrifices become a habit or something that exists?]]> 2020-02-12 19:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444588047 colemanelliott https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444588054 I learned that in pok a tok they had to throw a 12 pound ball through a hoop and you played for sacrifice and the teams captain that lost would be sacrificed. i find it interesting that the mayans made the 365 day calendar and they also believe in 165 gods. i wonder why how the mayans died.]]> 2020-02-12 19:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444588054 Addison https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444645364 2020-02-12 20:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444645364 Emery Giglio emerygiglio https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/444646052 After watching the four archaeology videos I learned that, the steps on the maya pyramid had 365 steps. Which is the same amount of days in their solar year. I also learned that they don't just find pots and bones they also said that they find lots of other things as well which I did not know. They also said that just finding the artifacts are not the most important things. they said the most important thing is being able to explain what the things are and what they actually mean to the culture. I also learned that the tools they use to help find the artifacts are not tools you would think that they would use. I did not know that they would use shovels and brooms to help them take the artifacts that they found out of where they found them. They also use spades. I did not know how much of the tools they use are farming tools. That we would use to help us farm. I also did not know how much they are alike to the mayans as well. One of the most things that I found really interesting is that they use something like a screen to help them find the smaller artifacts. It was really cool to see what it looked like instead of having to visualize what it looked like. It was also cool to see how the serpent on the pyramid. Also I liked learning about how high the pyramids were. I thought that it was really amazing to hear that their pyramids were over 100 feet in the air.

2. They would throw live humans into a well and sacrifice them.
3. They built a pyramid with 365 steps.
The interesting things were...
1. The Mayans thought that a rain god lived at the bottom of the well.
2. One of the biggest Pok a Tok courts in the Americas is in Chichen Itza.
I wonder...
1. How they made the huge wells.

learned that "the castle" is seventy nine feet and and has 365 steps. And ball in pok-a-tok is made out of rubber and weights 12 pounds. Chichen Itza takes part of its name from the lagre wells and those were there only permanent water source and also they threw people in these wells for chop as a sacrifice.

Archaeology is more that just digging it is also understanding.
Sometimes they end up finding a lot of things other times they don't. The Mayans left a lot of things for the archaeologists.
2:
I thought that the fact that the maya were able to match the sun with the snake heads was a very cool. The fact that Archaeologists have to solve mysteries about what they find.

What is the point? Why would you want to do it?

1. The Mayans threw people into a well for rain god sacrifice.

I also learned they played a game called Pok a tok. Also that architects study people that lived a while ago. I thought that it was interesting that the sun makes a snake only 2 days a year.

Two things I found interesting were how El Castillo has the same amount of steps as the amount of days in the calendar (365), and that twice a year on the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow is cast in the form of a serpent on El Castillo and moves down the pyramid steps as the sun sets, eventually landing on the serpent statue at the bottom of the staircase.

2.They used a 12 pound ball for the game called pok-a-tok

In the video they said that the pok-o-tok ball was 12p that is heavy they probably would have to be big and strong.]]> 2020-02-19 18:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447622443 Tessa tessabelledriscoll https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447622628 I learned that the ball in pok-a-tok weight twelve pounds and was made out of rubber. Also, Chichen Itza was one of the last cities of the Maya to stand. The Chichen Itza cities still stand today. Two things that I found interesting is that the people who had lived in cities abandoned their home and flead to the jungle. It also surprised me that the ball that the Mayans used was made out of rubber and still weighed twelve whole pounds. On question I have about archeology is before they had Lidar how did they find dig sites?]]> 2020-02-19 18:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447622628 What I learned jadenjohnson1 https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447623374 I learned that they played pok-a-tok with a 12 pound ball. I also learned that Chichen Itza had the largest ball court]]> 2020-02-19 18:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447623374 Maddy.s madelynsmith https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447623690 I learned that the mayan civilization were experts in math and astronomy. I also learned that in the city Chichen Itza they would sacrifice live people in a well to honor the rain god chac.Lastly I learned that in pok-a-tok they would have hoops that were hung on a pair of parallel walls. 2 thing I found interesting are that when archaeologist dig it is called an excavation. One other thing I found interesting is the fact the the maya created the 365 day calendar off of the stars. One question I still have is how do archaeologist know where to dig?]]> 2020-02-19 18:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447623690 CJ carsonhowell1 https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624443 I learned that the mayans were really smart in math and and space.]]> 2020-02-19 18:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624443 Gabi L. gabriellalyons https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624504 After watching the 4 videos one thing I learned was that the Mayans built a pyramid that had 365 steps just like the number of days in the solar calendar they created. Another thing I learned is that archaeologists used a tool called a screen to separate artifacts from dirt that is covering them. The third and final thing I learned when watching the videos is that archeologists used tools that we might use in a garden. Two thing that I thought were interesting is how archeologists dig up and study artifacts from so long ago. The other thing I think is interesting is how much a single artifact can tell us about how the Maya lived. One question I have is if archeologists work in groups or by themselves. ]]> 2020-02-19 18:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624504 Cassie https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624543 I learned that they use smaller things they use bigger things to dig with they will also use towels to dig with, they investigate the bites and smaller pieces they use this thing called a screen to see the pieces that they find, they put the dirt in there and shake it and it separates the smaller particles the farm was actually part of the plantation was established in 1790 in 1794 they had a french people they had 748 acres total and they had 90 enslaved laborers in their possession. They uncovered just a wide varitey of artifacts. Everything from broken glassware and ceramics to rusty old nails and pieces of hardware lots of food remains, so bones and shell this would've been made likely by one of the enslaved individuals. ]]> 2020-02-19 18:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624543 Finley.S finleyschwartz https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624545 Three things I learned are some Maya people would get thrown into a well to be sacrificed to the rain god, the rubber ball in pok-a-tok was twelve pounds, and the Maya ballcourt was the biggest in North America.

Two things I thought were interesting is that archaeologist mostly dig and one of the most popular pyramids of the Maya was 100's of feet tall.

One question I have is do they take a lunch break in the middle of the day or do they just wait the whole day and have one big meal at dinner?]]> 2020-02-19 18:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624545 Olivia Anderson oliviaanderson4 https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624790 Three things I learned in the videos I watched were that Pok-A-Tok was played with a twelve pound ball. I found this interesting, as they have to hit it in such certain places (Hip, Knee, Elbow). Also, I found out that Chichen Itza was one of the last city-states of the Maya left to stand. I also learned that people who we are studying could predict of Solar Eclipses. Something I found interesting is that "The Tower" had three hundred sixty-five steps, the exact number of days in a solar year. Two of these 365 days, a shadow in the shape of a serpent would rest on the side of the tower. As the sun set, it "crawled" down the tower, finally resting next to a structure of a serpent. One thing I wonder is how long have we known about these unique cultures, and how much more do we not have or know?]]> 2020-02-19 18:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624790 What I learned: reaganmeyer https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624852 I learned that in Pok-a-Tok the ball that was used weighed 12 lbs and it was made of pure rubber. I also learned that whatever team loses Pok-a-Tok, gets sacrificed to the gods. The way they did this was they would thro the people into a well. ]]> 2020-02-19 18:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447624852 Kathryn Dillman kathryndillman https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447625027 I learned that the mayan city of Chichen Itza endured even after most other mayan cities were abandoned. The second video told that archeologists used what was called a pan to separate small particles of dirt from artifacts. I also learned that the maya had an advanced understanding of astronomy, and even had an observatory. I find it interesting they used this understanding to build a 365-step pyramid in the perfect location that on the day of the eclipse, the shadow of a serpent would fall on the stairs of the pyramid and adjoin with the serpent's stone head at the base. I also found it interesting that know one really knows what happened to the maya civilization. I do wonder if pok-a-tok players considered it an honor and were willing to be sacrificed, or if players highly avoided it.]]> 2020-02-19 18:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447625027 I learned that when archaeologist dig for bones they have to use screens to get rid of the dirt to get a better view at the object.

I found it interesting that on the day of an equinox, a shadow would fall on the stairs of a pyramid, and conjoin with a stone head of a serpent. this would create a serpent on the pyramid. one question I have is why did they know so much about astronomy?]]> 2020-02-19 18:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447629990 What I learned: calvinburkhardt https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447630287 I learned that the pok-a-tok ball weighted 12 pounds]]> 2020-02-19 18:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447630287 https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447630791 Three thing i learned is that they had a 79ft pyramid and they uses a 12 pound ball to play pok a tok, the last thing i learned is that the spanish took over the aztecs. two things i found interesting is that they have a 79ft pyramid and that they use a 12 pound ball to play pok a tok.

Two interesting things is they pyramids had 365 steps for the 365 days in a year. I want to know why they chose to throw people in wells instead of somewhere else. ramseywickens https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447651928 2020-02-19 19:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447651928 I learned that archaeologist did not just look for fossils they also looked for stuff from people like the maya and then identived it and that gave them clues about who they were. I also learned that the maya in a city called Chichen Itza sacrificed people by throwing them in a well to oner the rain god who lived in its depths. Also in this city they had a huge pyramid called the Castle or Elcastio and the building had 365 steps. https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447676807 One thing I thought was most interesting that was on one of the biggest pyramids had once in a while a shadow that would fall on the pyramid in a shape of a serpent then when the sun is setting it looks like it is wiggling down to its head. I also thought that it was interesting that people left one of the most famous maya cities, Chichen Itza and just ran into the jungle leaving it. Also Chichen Itza had one of the biggest ball courts. I can't believe archaeologist uncovered all this.

One question I still have about archaeology is can it be dangerous and hard sometimes because the stuff their finding is so old and hidden.]]> 2020-02-19 19:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447676807 philipparagase https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447676969 i learned that they played pokatok whith a very hevey ball, threw peple who where recantaly sacraficed into a well, and had a pramind whith a step for all the day in the year. i really think the fact the ball for pok a tok was so heavy and they tossed dead pepole into there drinking water. i woner why they did that.]]> 2020-02-19 19:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447676969 I Learned: dilnurakhaydarova https://padlet.com/reganhagemeier/4p3ptx8utnpb/wish/447679886 I learned that the arceoligists they don't just dig stuff they acually study stuff and the Mayans gets sacrifice them selves and go in the water for the Rain God

Two thing i found most interesting is the hieroglyphs are a type of writing, another thing i found interesting is that archeologist can find things that people used a long time ago.

One thing i have a question about is, how do they write is hieroglyphs?

I finally learned that Mayans made observatories and did lots of things with the stars! I find it interesting that Mayans were able to predict solar eclipses. I also find it interesting that archaeologists use something called a screen to help them find artifacts.
