    3. The two concentrations differed from each other. The more northerly one consisted of two sugar jars, a stoneware jug, miscellaneous pressed glass objects, - 207 - and a variety of bottles. One of the sugar jars had a hole broken through the base.

      This shows that the both the earthquake from the supplemental reading and the area of Parting Ways had objects that related to their culture that was beneficial to practices and their roots. In this case the the destruction was related to African American ritual that led to their roots, while in the other led to its roots in Italy.

    4. The supplemental reading that I read was the Historical Treasures Lost, Damaged in Italian Quake by Alanne Orjoux. This article was an earthquake that damaged a lot of important and beneficial historic cites. One in particular that caught my attention that they named was the cathedral in Urbino. According to this article, it has said to have been at least 293 historic assets that were badly damaged where the earthquake have taken place in Italy. Not only was that cathedral caught in the earthquake but there were also a few more. This earthquake left behind a tragic mess and left many artifactual assets to be badly affected or even completely damaged.

      Towns all over Italy were hit but the Amatrice the Basilica Di San Francesco and the Chiesa di Sant Agostino were the towns that haven been said to have completely caved in. Inside of these collapsing cities and towns held the the cities historic medieval walls that was badly destroyed. The medieval walls cite carried lots of information and was a big site for Italy's cultural values. At this place it has some incredible and remarkable history of that relates back to the 10th century in which the people have cared and showed their love for the historic site. But in the end Italy seems to turn all the bad into something good by having their people visit the areas that were badly damaged as a sign of paying their respects to the certain sites.

    5. After two seasons of excavation, a whole new set of facts about Parting Ways had been obtained, facts that in many ways place a somewhat different perspective on the simple lives of Cato Howe, Plato Turner, Prince Goodwin, and Quamany.

      Were these the only people who lived here? Was it really all that small? Why wasn't their enough information about these men that are important to history based off of their achievments? Is something being hidden?

    6. The misleading factor in this case is that the materials with which they were forced to work were the same, for the most part, as those available to the dominant culture which surrounded them

      What materials were actually being used? Why were there not enough to prove these facts? Who were the people that found out these results?

    7. What degree of African cultural survival can be detected and described when dealing with the material remains of African Americans at an earlier time in the country's history?

      This is a good question to pose since their was little to no facts or information about about Cato, Prince,Plato, and Quamany. This could help them pose more information about African Americans background and earlier history. I believe you would need a high degree of cultural survival and African American history.

    8. HERE LIE THE GRAVES OF FOUR NEGRO SLAVES

      Why is it there a sign of this if the four of them were so called supposed to be free men? Why at the end does it state that they were freed, but yet still have the title of "HERE LIE THE GRAVES OF FOUR NEGRO SLAVES"?

    9. We might guess that not only was the pottery given to the people of Parting Ways by the townspeople of Plymouth, but it was given by the wealthier ones

      This answers my question earlier of if Cato, Plato, Prince, and Quamany were the only ones to live in Parting Ways.

    10. After two seasons of excavation, a whole new set of facts about Parting Ways had been obtained, facts that in many ways place a somewhat different perspective on the simple lives of Cato Howe, Plato Turner, Prince Goodwin, and Quamany.

      Here is where I began to notice that "Parting Ways" was not just about Cato Howe's existence at this site but also the lives of Plato Turner, Prince Goodwin, and Quamany. Here is where I also saw that Deetz (the author) was beginning to make a connection of their community.

    12. Battle of Bunker Hill

      According to my prior knowledge, this was the battle that was one of the very first battles that lead up to the Revolutionary War. In this war the British defeated the Americans, which lead Americans to become a lot more confident and patriotic to override the British army.

    13. To gain a true understanding of the story of a people, it is best to detail a picture of their life within a community and then relate that to the larger world.

      This shows that the author is trying to begin making the connection of showing how it was like being African American and contributing to the the United States Army, while African Americans were still not given equal opportunities as other Americans. Basically, the author is enforcing a better understanding of what Cato Howe's life was like being an African American and serving the United States Army.

    14. Parting Ways

      This is where the title of this article came from. In other words, the title "Parting Ways" comes from Howe's site of community of which he lived until his death.
