PROMPT:
The avenues in which we understand cultures from the past can be convoluted. Through doing intense research, we can see how history, archaeology, and oral histories only provide a smaller part of a larger story. For this term paper, you will choose a culture from the past to further investigate. Research online and using our college library to find out the ways in which this particular culture has been documented, paying particular attention to the DISCUSSION QUESTIONS below. Any culture chosen will need to have had some sort of archaeological intervention. You are free to choose any of the cultures we have gone over in class or find one of your own!
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Introduce this past culture. Who were they? From what time period? How did they fit into the global timeline? How far did their boundaries reach?
In what ways have their history been documented (historical documents, archaeological resources, oral histories, etc). Do these research avenues complement or contrast each other? How?
What particular archaeological methods were used in the archaeological analysis of this site? Specific dating techniques? Survey? Excavation? GPR? Faunal analysis? How many archaeological sites are you discussing in your term paper to get a better understanding of this culture?
What cultural extrapolations can we make based on the archaeological resources found? Provide concrete reasons.
What are some pseudoscientific theories surrounding this particular culture? How mainstream/underground is the theor(ies)? In other words, is there a large following? What are some of the things that make these theories attractive? What are some of the ways these theories are a detriment to the understanding of the past culture? To human ingenuity?
Are there any present-day descendent communities associated with this past culture? What are their views of their ancestors? What are their views of archaeological research (for or against)?
You must search out at least 5 scholarly sources to inform your analysis paper. The video short and textbook can also be used, but they will not count toward this minimum. Visit the Simplify Your Research! Video Series page to learn how to search for and choose the best scholarly sources.
You may use 3-4 pictures in your paper to further convey your point, just remember to cite them on your reference page. Keep in mind not to use pictures that are large–a good size would be around 1/3 of the page.
**Please note that you may not write about what the above 2 examples covered.
This submission will account for 70 points of your total paper grade (130).
This essay must be turned in here by the due date and must have a turnitin score of less than 24%. If your paper has a score of 24% or higher and/or if it is late, it will receive an automatic zero. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Investigating the Death of Sheena Morris: Applying Forensic Science Knowledge to a Real Case
Overview: For this assignment, you will investigate the death of Sheena Morris, a young woman found dead in a rental condo in Bradenton, Florida, in 2009. This assignment is based on a real case, and you will review evidence collected from the scene and observations made during the investigation.
Objective: You will apply the knowledge gained from this course to make observations and draw a “best guess” conclusion about the case. Typically, scene investigators do not make final determinations, but for this assignment, you will evaluate all available information and draw conclusions based on your findings, using knowledge you gained this semester.
Instructions:
Review Initial Case Information:
Links related to case information are available under the Week Three Assignments Folder. These links provide initial details about the case but are not the complete source of information.
Conduct additional internet research to gather more information about the case, similar to how you would investigate a death in a real-world scenario.
Investigate and Reflect:
Assume the role of a death scene investigator.
Apply all the information you have learned in class so far to this case.
Answer the Following Questions:
Question 1: Describe the Details Surrounding Sheena Morris’ Death
Who initially found Sheena and reported her death?
Describe the initial scene, the location of her body (position, clothing, etc.), and any information obtained from other agencies or involved parties upon initial investigation.
Report this information as facts, not opinions. Write this section as if you were writing an investigative report, not an editorial opinion. Assume the reader knows nothing about the initial details and be as descriptive and thorough as possible.
Question 2: Discuss the Initial Results of the Investigation
Do you agree with the initial assessment completed by investigators and/or medical personnel? Why or why not?
Support your stance with facts and information obtained from your research.
Question 3: Evaluate the Need for Additional Investigation
Do you think any additional investigation needs to be or can be completed in the Sheena Morris case? If so, what?
If not, why not?
Support your stance with facts based on the evidence obtained from your research.

Answer all parts of each question fully and completely.
Use full and complete sentences.
Type your reflective journal in 12-point Times New Roman font.
Submit your assignment as a Word document (.doc or .docx).
