Your final examination will be divided into three parts, each of which is described below. Make sure you allocate your time in accordance with the point total for the section (i.e., don't spend half your time on Part I (20 points), when parts II and III together total 80 points).

Part I (20 points). In a few lines, tell the time, place, and significance of 5 of the following g terms (4 points each). The terms will be chosen from the following list:

Part II (20 points). In the space on the left, write the letter of the (A) culture area or ~) description on the right that corresponds best to the term next to the number. Sections A and B are separate and selfcontained. A links important terms with their culture area and B links brief descriptions with terms. There are 20 questions, each worth 1 point. This is the 'how well did I read the book/listen to the lectures' part of the exam. Examples:

Section A. 1. Arctic Small Tool Tradition a. Great Basin b. Arctic

Section B.
