      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

The Pacific: 700 to 601 B.C.

Module by: Jack E. Maxfield

THE PACIFIC

Back to The Pacific: 1000 to 700 B.C.

Advanced Neolithic cultures existed throughout many of the Pacific islands. In Australia, the aborigines developed complex kin relationships and a religion involving time-consuming, elaborate rituals. Stone and wooden tablets containing symbols were kept in sacred places which women or uninitiated boys were forbidden to even approach. Some fine painting was done on rocks and bark. (Ref. 19)

Forward to The Pacific: 600 to 501 B.C.
