Question by .??? ??íqí??? c??b?b?.: This paragraph best describes which branch of anthropology?
Harrappan artifacts that have been unearthed include jewelry, cloth, razors, pottery, mirrors, fishhooks, and even toys. These artifacts reveal that the Harappans were highly skilled people. They used copper and bronze to make tools, mirrors, pots, and pans. Bone, shell, and ivory were used to create ornaments, tools, game pieces, and inlays for furniture. They crafted silver and gold utensils and ornaments, as well as ornaments made of stoneware and earthenware.

cultural anthropology?
archaelogy?
social anthropology?
physical anthropology?

Best answer:

Answer by Athena
This reads more like an archaeological summary from excavations. However, this could also be a cultural/social anthropological explanation of the Harrappan...because this is just one paragraph, it could be either. We do not have the context of this paragraph within the whole text, if there is one. I would say it is more on the side of archaeology as a summary of findings and research of an excavation.

Question by Glacierwolf: Is this something normal to expect from a gun manufacturer?
I have had my FN FiveSeveN pistol about 18 months. It spent most of this winter at -35F to -50F in my truck - and frequently was fired when very, very cold. 2500+ round though it, best I can figure, from all the empty little blue boxes. This is the gun I haul with me on my snowmachine, ATV - and especially gold panning all over Alaska. It has seen some serious use - but - I did try to keep it clean. It's got no shortage of weekends it has been rode hard and put up wet.

It developed an issue with the slide - some extra resistance - hard to pull back. No shock - the way I use it so much. I dropped it into a hospital bag with a fired round and box top of the ammo used in it last - and sent it back to the FN HomeWorld. 1911's I can deal with - plastic fantastics I have no experience with. I've been waiting for some FN gunsmith to call me and cuss me out - and then tell me how much it will cost to repair. (Dan Wesson did that to me back in 81' when I sent one of theirs back) Instead - UPS shows up on my door step with a new pistol kit - new gun, new serial number - 3 new mags - manual, docs, the works - a totally new gun kit. Free.

I am still pinching myself. A complete new pistol kit. Latest model. Full of new mags.

I this something you have had a gun manufacture do for you? I am thinking about all the guns I have fixed myself in the past - and to think I could have just sent 'em back and gotten a new one in a few weeks.

Best answer:

Answer by The Deadliest Mushroom
Never had a repair issue to deal with (yet!) We did send in my dad's (now my) Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag to have the free transfer bar safety upgrade installed. The service was fast, all the original parts came back with the gun, and we got a nice, new Ruger box to boot. Good service can still be found, occasionally.

Question by BMW M6: Should I invest in this??????????????????
Alright, I am 15 years old. I really need to make money but I have no idea how. I have tried everything. Any jobs I would get would not provide a steady source of income that I need. You have to be 16 to work anyways. I have tried online surveys but it is not worth if.

Anyways, I'll get to the point. After checking the price of gold today, it made me wonder. Could prospecting pay off some day? Now, I live in California, I live close to motherlode county etc. I went to a river with my friends one day and I started panning. I found an area that looked good for panning and after about 3 hours of nonstop panning, I had a little under a half gram of flakes. That is not worth that much but hey it's money.

Now, If I wanted to get serious about this, I could invest my money into prospecting equipment, dredges, drywashers, pans, sluice boxes, a metal detector etc. If I did this, I could work that river all summer long and see how much gold I would have in the end. I could possibly even find a large nugget but that would be very rare.

I have no idea how this would go though, it would be a complete gamble but it could possibly be worth the money in the long run.

What do you think about this?

Best answer:

Answer by Blake Pardey
My father is a pretty serious gold prospector. He has been doing it as a regular hobby for about 5 years and is a member of a gold prospecting club. Over 5 years he has found about 00-00 worth of gold - but he spent about 00 on a top of the line metal detector. I think that most of the gold that is easy to find has already been found. So I think that gold prospecting should be considered a hobby rather than a serious money making activity. If you have the gold bug and you enjoy it, then go for it and best of luck with it. But there may be more profitable activities that you could put your time into - when I was your age I did music tutoring and made quite good money from it. When I was a bit older I did maths tutoring. Maybe you could brainstorm 10-20 ideas of activities you could do to make money (washing cars, mowing lawns, tutoring in your area of expertise etc.) You could ask family and friends for other ideas if you can't think of them yourself. Take care...........

PS - Hey BMW. If you like my answer then please award me best answer as I am trying to get the points to get to level 2. Best of luck earning that money for your BMW M6!

It all depends on what you think it it's really worth. If you can't afford or don't need the expensive computer get a lower model to save money.

Question by Philip: What physical property and what technique make this separation possible?
Gold can be seperated from sand by panning or by a sluice-box. In panning, water is mixed with the sand and the resulting slurry is swirled in a shallow, saucer-shaped metal pan. In the sluice-box technique, running water is passed over an agitated sand-gold mixture.

Best answer:

Answer by Bill
This gold separation in panning for gold is based on golds high density (ie. heavy weight). Gold is heavier than whatever else you're gonna find in the grave. After some water is added to help reduce friction and separate everything apart, the gold settles to the bottom and is the last thing left in the pan after everything else is removed.

dang that's a lot of stuff. how old are you? cause if your only like 13 you do NOT need that much.

maybe pick a few of the eyeshadows, I suggest All that glitters and satin taupe is a personal favorite.
the fluidline is amazing I love it! use it on my waterline almost everyday. I wouldn't suggest the blot powder unless you absolutely need it, cause it is kind of expensive.

Yes these are all nice items but your talking hundreds of dollars here, do you really want to spend that much of your christmas budget on makeup?
