Slide 2:
	Shows the spread of agriculture
Slide 3:
	Town called carnac
	Monolithich sstones set upright
	words to describe
		monolith: single stone
		megalith: big stone
		menhir: individual standing stone
	Found on every contentint
	4000-1000 BCE
	Intintial Modification of the landscape
	Stronger connection to the landscape.
	Prehistoric: Pre-History
		before the advent of writing
Slide 4:
	The stones are weathered granite
	Dragged from outcroping because they are so big	
	All we have left
	Stone left in natural condition
	Maybe left that way out of reverence to nature?
Slide 5:
	What is the function?
		Maybe commermorative?
		diffuclty of moving the rocks is part of the meaning
	We call them monuments ^
	They are perpinductar to the earth and are similar to the human figure
	For posterarity
Slide 6:
	Placed in long parallel lines
	go for over a mile
	Collective 
Slide 7:
	How?
		Most likely used the use of ropes, log leavers, and ramps of earth
		Collective effort
Slide 8:
	Other Pre-Historic stone structures
		Dolmen:
			stone tomb
		Trilithon:
			three-stone assembly
		Post and Lintel:
			two uprights holding up a horizontal beam
		Trabeation:
			The us of beams in architectural construction
Slide 9:
	Beam or lintal on two upright posts 
	the distance between posts is the span
Slide 10:
	Vocab
		Structure:
			How loads are carried
		Tectonics:
			The art of assembly
	In this basic era hard to differenciate, but as time goes on they get more different
Slide 11:
	Passgage Grave in Nwegrange Ireland
Slide 12:
	Builder defined the outer circle with megaliths
	then marked the stone passage way
Slide 13:
	Small stones to hold earth
Slide 14:
	The passageway gently rises and leads to a vaulted central chamber
	Vaulted: Fully enclosed space
	use corbaling
Slide 15:
	Corbeled:
		Succesive stone courses projecting outward from those below, reducing unsupported loads
	More effecient way to build in stone
Slide 16:
	Now we have decrotave patterns carved into the stone
	Ornamented surfaces
	Way to emblish structure
Slide 17:
	Window over the entrance 
	beam of light hits back of chamber
	Is it more than a tomb?
	maybe a way to mark astronomical cycles
Slide 18:
	The passage grave has lots of ties to other geography
	Later structures in places like northern italy build similar structures
	Then find them in the aegean then syria
Slide 19:
	Etruscan chamber tombs
	Domos:
		Entrance walkway
	Tholos:
		Circular burial
	Tumulus:
		Mound of earth over a tomb
Slide 20 / 21:
	Also used corboled vaulting
Slide 22:
	Last place Stonehenge in Salisbury, England
	3000-1500BCE
Slide 24:
	Also shaped earth mounds surronding it
Slide 25:
	Trilithons use lotsof post and lintel system
	Shaped and smoothed into unifor heights
Slide 26:
	Uses Mortise and tenon joints to join the trilithons
Slide 27:
	How?
		Posts were mostlikely dragged and levered into place
		Lintels were lifted with temporaty structures of wood then removed once ontop
Slide 28:
	Why?
		Was likely used as a astronomical observatory
		Has collective importance
		Wasnt a tomb
		Stones came from 300 miles away
		The healstone came from scotland
Slide 29:
	Still attracts lots of visitors
