A GREAT GIFT

There is a strong correlation between low socio-economics and juvenile delinquency. The included high school curriculum was created and designed to provide quality Multicultural Education to all high school students, more specifically, to lower-class minority students and juveniles in danger of entering the juvenile justice system. By allowing schools to reform current teaching standards, this curriculum will give socially and economically deprived students opportunities to learn and experience subject matters that their current curricula exclude. This curriculum is a proactive approach to helping juveniles develop skills to be productive members of society. Conclusions Reached: The project will identify critical areas of instructional curriculum that are currently missing from most high schools across the country. This multicultural curriculum will assist schools in targeting students in critical need of socialization and vocational classes. As a result, school districts, school administrators, and school teachers across the country can begin a proactive approach to helping socially deprived students, as well as keeping our youth out of the juvenile justice system. One proactive approach is for our schools to change the current teaching and testing standards currently in place in an ongoing effort to meet the needs of different types of students with different types of backgrounds throughout the United States. The students who complete this program will receive the social and life skills needed to assist them in living a well-rounded life.

This PhD study integrates unstudied plant evidence from the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük East (Turkey) and Jarmo (Iraqi Kurdistan), such as charred residues and amorphous charred organic material which were originally identified as "food" and "bread," combined with the study of artefact assemblages (clay balls, pots and grinding stones), ethnographical studies and experimental food preparation and charring experiments. The main aim of this thesis is to assess the extent to which these early sites can be characterised as a bread culture (e.g. Fuller & Rowlands 2011) and how much diversity of cereal preparation techniques were employed in the past and how these diversified over time. The methods developed in this research project have provided a new means of characterising archaeobotanical assemblages with charred food fragments as representative of Neolithic "recipes" the chaîne opératoire, which links harvested cereals to cooked products for consumption. The intention of this study is to characterise how these recipes changed over time and might have varied across the Neolithic Çatalhöyük and Jarmo communities, shedding light on socio-economical differences.
