Identifies FALSE; explains that contemporary cultures still use clay (pottery, ceramics, bricks) and that contemporary cultures still use all six materials
Hints
- Look at MG-8 contemporary use indicators.
- Think about ceramic dishes, clay pots, bricks at home.
Misconceptions to watch
- Accepting 'true' (this is the 'older=worse' framing the unit refutes)
- Not acknowledging that all six materials are still in contemporary use
