For your assignment you need to choose one of the above ancient cultures. Your project should have two parts. In the first part you should include general information about the specific culture: chronology, geographical area, characteristics (eg. Society, administration, architecture, burial habits).
Then, in the second part do a research on a specific object (artwork) that belongs to the specific culture. This artwork could be anything manmade eg. Statue, pottery, jewelry, weapons or a building (palace, temple, tomb). This second part of your paper should include description of the artwork (or building), its chronology, function, etc.
It would be good if you include a couple of visual materials (e.g. a photo of the object, a map).

Your paper should be about 5 pages long, double spaced, excluding bibliography, references and photos. You should use Times New Roman 12 font. At the end of the paper you should have the Bibliography used. References, which you could put either at each page or at the end of your essay, should be written in a consistent documentation style, according to the AJA/APA or MLA annotation system.
Internet sources are acceptable, as long as they are fully and properly cited. You should also indicate in detail the sources of any images used (photos, architectural plans, reconstructions, etc.). In any case, any kind of plagiarism will result to an F grade for the paper.
