Neolithic revolution

Goverment
I chose this artifact that looks like a priest because I think he was also a king he could govern the people and still had a connection to the religion. The statue is wearing a crown, a arm bracelet and what looks like a tunic that could be what the priest would wear.
Art and Architecture
I think they would put sculptures of their priest or king on churches. I also think that people would worship the statues and only very rich people would buy the piece of art.
Cities
The great bath could have been a place that after they were catechize they had to go into the great bath. I think that it was like you accept being catholic and you had to go into the great bath. When you were in the great bath it was when you really became a catholic
Domestication
This artifact looks like an amulet with a animal in it. The animal looks like a little monkey and I thought it would relate to religion because of the color, since it looks like it was painted. Monkeys could be special or a symbol for something. This monkey could have been a big symbol for domestication they could have been raised in the church.
Farming
When they farmed and worked with animals they prayed around the animals. They prayed so that they had sufficient amount and food so they can live and have food storage.
Social Classes
This represents social classes because there is houses that are bigger than others and I think that means that richer people could get better and bigger houses than people that wasn’t as rich people.
Writting
This artifact represents writing but I think it can also relate to religion because there is a person in the middle meditating. The person in the middle looks like a buddha, On top there is some writing that we don’t know what means but looks like have something related to religion
Public Works
This artifact represents public works because people could just do a sculpture or a piece of art and give it to someone special or important or just give it away.
Job Specialization
This artifact represents job specialization because I think one of their jobs was building and they didn't get money for it instead they exchanged their job for food resources and things they needed
