Question: We discussed in class the list produced by Vere Gordon Childe of "Ten Characteristics of a Civilization" - by which he meant what anthropologists today would describe as a "complex society". For your activity this week, I want you to imagine that you are archaeologists in the distant future, examining materials in North America which date to the 21st century. For each of Childe's 10 characteristics, describe something that you as an archaeologist in the future might uncover (so think of material culture that would remain in the archaeological record).

Primary

- Food surplus

- Concentration of Capital

- Presence of Elite Class
