what limits does archaeology evidence have as a historical source?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Without historical records, archaeology is sharply limited in what it can tell us.

Explanation:

One of the main limitations is in our choice of what to research: Archaeology was long dominated by a fascination with elite cultures and the rise and fall of empires.

Does las Casas believe the Spaniard’s actions to be in accordance with the beliefs of Christianity?

Answers

He believed that the conquest of the natives was an act of charity, for it brought them the benefits of civilization, religion, and trade with Spain. The colonists' exploitation of native labor, thus, was justified. Not surprisingly, the conquistadores and early settlers considered Sepúlveda their champion.

PRESIDENT CLINTON: My fellow Americans, today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces responsible for the brutality in Kosovo. We have acted with resolve for several reasons.
We act to protect thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.
We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.
We act to stand united with our allies for peace. By acting now, we are upholding our values, protecting our interests, and advancing the cause of peace.
Tonight I want to speak with you about the tragedy in Kosovo and why it matters to America that we work with our allies to end it.
First, let me explain what it is that we are responding to. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, in the middle of south eastern Europe and about 160 miles east of Italy. That's less than the distance between Washington and New York, and only about 70 miles north of Greece.
Its people are mostly ethnic Albanian and mostly Muslim.
In 1989 Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, the same leader who started the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, and moved against Slovenia in the last decade, stripped Kosovo of the constitutional autonomy it's people enjoyed, thus denying them their right to speak their language, run their schools, shape their daily lives. For years, Kosovar's struggled peacefully to get their rights back. When President Milosevic sent his troops and police to crush them, the struggle grew violent.
Last fall, our diplomacy, backed by the threat of force from our NATO alliance, stopped the fighting for awhile, and rescued tens of thousands of people from freezing and starvation in the hills where they had fled to save their lives. And last month, with our allies and Russia, we proposed a peace agreement to end the fighting for good. The Kosovar leaders signed that agreement last week.
Even though it does not give them all they want, even though their people were still being savaged, they saw that a just peace is better than a long and unwinable war.
The Serbian leaders, on the other hand, refused even to discuss key elements of the peace agreement. As the Kosovars were saying yes to peace, Serbia stationed 40,000 troops in and around Kosovo in preparation for a major offensive and in clear violation of the commitments they had made.

what was it like for africans who arrived in the chesapeake bay

Answers

Answer:

The Africans’ arrival would not only change the course of Virginia history but the course of what would become the United States of America (See Figure 3-1). There were both men and women in this first group of Africans. Three or four days later, a second ship arrived. One additional African woman disembarked in Virginia. (Travels and Works of Captain John Smith [1910] 1967:541 as cited in Russell [1913] 1969:22 ftn.21).

The first Africans to arrive in Jamestown were welcome additions to the labor force. They were needed for the tasks of opening the wilderness, clearing land, and building settlements around the Chesapeake Bay. The first Africans, as few as they were, fulfilled a sorely needed and relatively empty labor niche in Virginia society. They and the African immigrants that followed also served another equally important purpose. Under the head-right system, they enabled the growth of a new landowning middle class located socially between the gentleman who had been granted the Virginia Company land by the Crown and the laboring class of indentured servants and slaves who worked the colony’s expanding tobacco lands (See Figure 3-2).

Nine months after the arrival of the first Africans, the Census of March 1620 listed 892 English colonists living in Virginia, males outnumbering females, seven to one. Also present were 32 Africans, 15 men and 17 women, a more equal sex distribution that lent it to family formation.

What is a problem with exchanging currency? People make more money by trading currency. Banks do not like to exchange their money for other currencies. It costs more to do business because banks charge fees for exchanges. Most people want to use American dollars to trade. European Union The Eurozone is an area where countries use the euro as currency to pay for goods and services. Not all members of the European Union use the euro as their currency. Item at position 5

Answers

The correct answer is: "It costs more to do business because banks charge fees for exchanges."

A problem with exchanging currency is "it costs more to do business because banks charge fees for exchanges."

Indeed that is part of the bank industry, a big part of the bank system. In every currency exchange operation, the bank charges a fee and this represents an interesting portion of their income. Because most private banks operate in free marking economies, they establish their own fees and regulations in the exchange market that is very volatile due to different conditions such as the oil prices or the stock market exchange, the stability of the dollar, the Euro, or the Yen.

It reduced the demand for goods and services.
It made goods and services more expensive.
It made different civilizations interact less often.
It led to standard measures and then currency.

Answers

Answer:

It led to standard measures and then currency.

Explanation:

The increase in trade enables people from different culture/society to engage and trade with one another.

In the past, a problem can occurs if both parties involved do not used the same medium of exchange. (for example, some society used gold to as a medium of transaction while some society used barter method for transaction)

As the times goes by, more and more people start looking for solution to solve this issues.  Standard measures and currency are the things that can be used for that.

Standard of measures allowed people to ensure that they get the most value from their transaction (for example buying 1 bag of rice can be riskty since we can't really know how much rice contained in it. Buying 1 kg of rice on the other hand make us understand exactly what we're buying), and currency allowed people to use one recognized medium of exchange for the transaction.

Yet I endure.I ask the Earth, have not the mountains felt?I ask yon Heaven, the all-beholding Sun,Has it not seen?

For with the aid of fire all things are possible, all arts are perfected. This was his greatest gift to man, but it was a theft from the immortal gods, and Zeus would endure no more. He could not take back the secret of fire; but he had Prometheus chained to a lofty crag overlooking the sea in the Caucasus, where every day a vulture came to prey upon his body, and at night the wound would heal, so that it was ever to suffer again. It was a bitter penalty for so noble-hearted a rebel, and as time went by, and Zeus remembered his bygone services, he would have made peace once more. He only waited till Prometheus should bow his stubborn spirit, but this the son of Titans would not do. Haughty as rock beneath his daily torment, believing that he suffered for the good of mankind, he endured for years. One secret hardened his spirit, and he was sure that the empire of Zeus must fall some day, since he knew of a danger that threatened it. For there was a certain beautiful sea-nymph, Thetis, whom Zeus desired for his wife. (This was before his marriage to Queen Juno.) Prometheus alone knew that Thetis was destined to have a son who should be far greater than his father. If she married some mortal, then, the prophecy was not so wonderful; but if she were to marry the King of gods and men, and her son should be greater than he, there could be no safety for the kingdom. This knowledge Prometheus kept securely hidden; but he ever defied Zeus, and vexed him with dark sayings about a danger that threatened his sovereignty. No torment could wring the secret from him, and year after year, lashed by the storms and scorched by the heat of the sun, he hung in chains and the vulture tore his vitals, while the young Oceanides wept at his feet, and men sorrowed over the doom of their protector. At last that earlier enmity between the gods and the Titans came to an end. The banished rebels were set free from Tartarus, and they themselves came and besought their brother, Prometheus, to hear the terms of Zeus, for the King of gods and men had promised to pardon his enemy, if he would only reveal this one troublous secret. In all heaven and earth there was but one thing that marred the new harmony, this long struggle between Zeus and Prometheus; and the Titan relented. He spoke the prophecy, warned Zeus not to marry Thetis, and the two were reconciled. The hero Hercules (himself an earthly son of Zeus) slew the vulture and set Prometheus free.A. Prometheus moans in distress as he slowly freezes in the bitter, cold night.B. Prometheus steals the holy fire from the gods and teaches man how to use it.C.
