Here is my guide Wendy.
I liked the little girl's hair beads.
Banpo had about sixty buildings and housed over 200 people from two clans. It was a matriarchal society based on farming. The houses were thatch over wood beams while the floors were sunk 2 to 3 feet into the ground. Heat was provided by a central fire for the family. They stored food in underground caves, dug deep enough to protect it from wildlife and insects.
Children and infants were buried alongside the huts in special clay urns. I would like to know why.
And here's a self-portrait of me on my birthday last month.
