Module II focuses on the historical development of culture through the study of archaeological remains. Four basic changes mark the transition from Neolithic village life to life in early urban centers or city states (agricultural innovation, diversification of labor, central government, and social stratification). Write a 2 page essay discussing one of these markers of early civilization. Provide examples of specific archaeological evidence that suggests the presence of early urban centers/city states to support the discussion of one of the four markers above. The essay should not focus on the Neolithic Period.
