Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Ecosystem

back 1

A community of living organisms that live and interact within a specific environment

back 3

Where two ecozones overlap; an area of ecozone transition

front 4

Paleoenvironment

back 4

Past environmental system

front 5

Paleoclimate

back 5

Past climate system

front 6

Environmental Archaeology

back 6

focuses on the interaction between humans and their natural environment

front 7

Julian Steward's Take – Cultural Ecology

back 7

- cultures in similar environments have similar adaptive mechanisms
- all adaptations are short lived and constantly changing
- changes alter existing cultures or make new ones

front 8

Karl Butzer's Take – Human Ecology

back 8

- interaction between human and non-human communities is unavoidable
- equilibrium between human societies and environment can never be reached

front 9

Michael Schiffer's Take – Formation Processes

back 9

- Relationship between the cultural and natural formation processes
- Creation of the archaeological record (C and N Transforms)

front 10

Foraminifera

back 10

A type of single celled organism that can offer insights into coastal environmental formations from their fossilized presence in the area.

front 11

Ocean Oxygen Isotope Analysis

back 11

Testing for the presence of heavier oxygen isotopes can give insights into paleoclimatological ocean conditions. As the top layer of the ocean freezes during an ice age, concentrations of heavier oxygen in the bottom portions of the ocean increase.

front 12

Ice cores

back 12

Can give insights into paleoclimatology that has been frozen in time

front 13

Saw Tooth curve

back 13

a graph that depicts period in time of mass cooling and warming shown through the presence of oxygen isotopes in ice core samples

front 14

Current glacial period

back 14

Quaternary Ice Age, beginning about 12,000 years ago

front 15

Last Glacial period

back 15

Pleistocene Ice age

front 16
