    Rogier Van Der Weyden Analysis

    The Deposition of Christ painted by the artist Rogier van der Weyden is the most influential Netherlandish painting of Christ’s crucifixion. Based on the work’s style, and because van der Weyden reached renown around this time, is estimated that the painting was created in the year 1435 (1). The painting was an altarpiece, intended for the Chapel of the Confraternity of the Archers of Leuven, who commissioned it. The scene shown would have lasted a moment, but there is nothing momentary about its depiction, which is quite attached to the historical event. Rogier emphasized the energy of the painting creating a life-like piece that clearly recreates the moment of pain for Christ and his friends.…

    Creation and Origin in the Codex Vienna

    Mixtec codices are historically significant documents that played an essential role in the documentation of Mixteca civilization through the use of pictorial description. Some examples include the Codex Vienna, Codex Bodley, and the Borgia Group manuscripts. They are major examples that we use today for historical research and enlightenment on a society that isn’t well known. I found the subject to be enticing because the stories told are creation myths and it feels like I am being included in something that is sacred to an ancient society that isn’t mine. Furthermore, the pictorial storytelling style makes these manuscripts open for meaningful analysis based on symbolism. This raises the question of whether these documents were historically significant or mythological in terms of Mesoamerican time.…

    Gallows Hill Site

    Charred wood from this feature was radiocarbon dated to sometime between 2010 B.C. and 1850 B.C. (more on this below). It had also been suggested that there may be a house foundation somewhere on the site which would more than likely date to the historic past (Wiegand, personal communication, 2002), and about 75 artifacts from the late 18th and 19th centuries, such as nails, redware, saltglazed stoneware, whiteware, and glass, most of which were found in the top 20 cm of soil, may support the idea that there was definitely such a structure on the site. But these analyses are not included in this report; we are more interested in what happened…

    San Agustin Basin-Bat Cave Carton, N.M.

    The cave was formed by an ancient wave that was covered by an inland sea about 35 miles long and 165ft deep 15,000 years ago. Late Archaic occupation represents a use of the cave as seasonal (summer-fall) base camp (Wills 1988a, 1988b). It was stated to be possible that by the time Horse Springs finally disappeared and bare that human habitation was few. The cave site became a low intensity use. Samples found of the maize in the U.S. Southwest it contained geological mass dating back ca.14, ooo - 10,500 B.P. but there is no evidence for human functional proof during that time period. But from evidence available information from the site from later excavations it stated that the oldest cultural components from the site was from “Buff Sand”…
