1. The Age of Hunters and Farmers
1.4 Living from farming
Slide 1 - Tekstslide

KEY WORDS
Slide 4 - Tekstslide
FERTILE CRESCENT
the Fertile Crescent = the place where the first civilisations started
Slide 5 - Tekstslide
Mesopotamia= The Fertile Crescent
Slide 6 - Tekstslide
Slide 7 - Video
The first farmers still do a lot by hand.
Farming was hard, but hunting was much harder!
Through the invention of animal breeding they now use domesticated animals for that purpose...
Hmm...
Welk dier zou dit werk voor me kunnen doen?
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
Bad harvest = hunger!
Farmers were now more dependent on nature. If the harvest was fogged or the season was bad, it was more difficult to survive. In the past as a hunter you would just move on. Farmers did this less quickly, they had more property!
Hunters or farmers?
How do you recognize that these are farmers and not hunters?
Slide 9 - Tekstslide
Farmers invent graffiti rituals when someone dies.
They think about a life after death. Commemorate the dead.
They learn how to bury or cremate.
As a hunter you couldn't stand still, you had to move on. Move on!
Farmers live in the same place. Stand still... and remember. Cemeteries arise...
Slide 10 - Tekstslide
What remains...
Slide 11 - Tekstslide
Dolmen (Hunebedden)
Graves are becoming bigger, near the farms.
Both buried and cremated: urn fields
They can, now that they can make pots!
The dead were given possessions: presumably believing in life after death
Slide 12 - Tekstslide
Agricultural revolution
The moment when people switched from hunting and gathering to agriculture
This was a big change in society
(Society of hunters and gatherers --> agricultural society)
A revoltuion means: a big change in society.
Life changed completely!!!
Slide 13 - Tekstslide
What is?
change and continuity (in history lessons)?
Change: this means that something ends and is replaced by something different.
For example: When the Roman monarchy ended and Rome became a Republic.
A system of government was replaced by a very different system. So this is "change".
Continuity: this means that somethings continues, or "keeps going on" .
For example: After the fall of the western Roman empire Christianity continued as an important religion.
In other words: If Christianity had ended with the Roman empire we would speak of "change", but in this case we speak of "continuity".
