The First Writing

 I am greatly indebted to the initiatives of Washington State University who constructed a general educational module on the Agricultural Revolution. This web area is largely a product of expanding upon the base provided by Washington State University. It is clear that I have used some of the graphics and text from their work, but hope that I have been able to expand on the content without detracting from their base. This web area is intended for use in ASB222 Buried Cities and Lost Tribes and has been modified to blend with other course content.
