which of the following cultural practices appeared during or after the agricultural revolution? (select all that apply)
a) ritualized burial of the dead
b) creation of steam - powered machines
c) construction of temples and shrines
d) development of seasonal calendars and communal ceremonies

Explanation:

• Ritualized burial of the dead: This practice was common in pre - Agricultural Revolution hunter - gatherer societies. For example, Neanderthals (pre - Agricultural Revolution) had ritualized burials.
• Creation of steam - powered machines: The Agricultural Revolution (around 10,000 - 5,000 BCE) was followed by the Industrial Revolution (18th - 19th centuries CE) during which steam - powered machines were created.
• Construction of temples and shrines: With the Agricultural Revolution came the development of settled communities, social hierarchies, and the ability to support specialized labor (like priests). This led to the construction of temples and shrines (e.g., in Mesopotamia after the Agricultural Revolution).
• Development of seasonal calendars and communal ceremonies: Agriculture depends on seasons. After the Agricultural Revolution, communities developed seasonal calendars (to know when to plant and harvest) and communal ceremonies (related to agricultural cycles, like harvest festivals).

Answer:

b) Creation of steam - powered machines, c) Construction of temples and shrines, d) Development of seasonal calendars and communal ceremonies.
