What do Glassie and Deetz argue that the differences between Georgian material culture and medieval material culture signal about differences between the cultures themselves?
 
  a. The differences mark a shift from a culture that focused on the group and saw people as conforming to nature, to a culture that focused on the individual and control of nature.
  b. The differences mark a shift from a culture that focused on the individual and control of nature, to a culture that focused on the group and saw people as conforming to nature.
  c. Medieval culture relied on the power of reason to understand the world around them and gain control of the natural world, while Georgian culture was content to conform to nature, rather control it.
  d. The differences between medieval and Georgian material culture are so slight that they really cannot indicate anything about the differences between the cultures themselves.
  e. The differences are slight and therefore the cultures were much the same.

Question 2

How does American colonial Georgian material culture not differ from the material culture of the colonial medieval mindset that preceded it?

  b. Food preparation shifted from chopping bones to sawing them, as evidenced by the shift from bones with articulated joints to more difficult to identify segmented cuts; ceramics also shifted from plain, utilitarian earthenware to more technologically advanced matched sets with serving vessels.
  c. Whereas trash was simply tossed out of doors and windows during medieval days, it was disposed of in deep pits during Georgian times.
  d. Both reflected the culture of the time.
  e. Ceramics of the medieval mindset were characterized by utilitarian earthenware; Georgian ceramics were purchased in matching sets of plates and teacups.
