    The two images I chose for the analysis paper are Martini, Simone and Lippo Memmi, Annunciation with Saints Ansanus and Margherita (1333) and Brunelleschi, Filippo, Dome of Florence Cathedral (1420-36).

    From 1534 to 1541 Michelangelo painted the Last Judgement. The painting was a mixture of male and female nude bodies. Every figure is centered on Christ and appears to be in motion or tensed up like they are about to move. The composition was split into two tiers. In the celestial zone Christ is flanked by angels, saints, martyrs, patriarchs, and the apostles. The terrestrial zone below shows the resurrection of the dead to the left and the descending of the damned to hell on the right. “The elect show the emotion joy while the Damned show torment”(Last judgement…

    Mark Twain once wrote, “Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.” Today, we live in a very complex civilization; however, this was not always the case. Before televisions, cars, houses, and farming, people lived off of the land without intentionally altering it. The people of the time that Mark Twain is referring to here, were called foragers. Foraging was a successful way of life. So what changed? Complex societies and civilizations sprouted and paved a whole new way of life for generations to come. Many archaeologists, have different theories of the origins of civilizations and many of them can be tested. Not only is it important for an archaeologist to test these theories, but it is also important to understand the definition of a civilization in the first place. Along with the many origin theories, there are many definitions that can be applied based on one’s point of view.

The origin of this civilization fits the “social surplus” theory by V. Gordon Childe with a strong nine out of ten (Owen 2013a: 1).…
