Option 1

 * Article title
 * The Value of Plants Used in Traditional Medicine for Drug Discovery
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discusses the use of plants in the discovery of new drugs. However, this means that it takes much more of a modern look at medicine than what we are looking for. While there are a few facts here and there that may be useful for our purposes, it is mostly not going to be useful to us. Notably, it does not discuss in great depth the usage of plants in paleolithic societies. Thus, it is may not be the best source for research into paleolithic medicine.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Prehistoric and Egyptian Medicine
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article discusses medicine as it was used across different prehistoric societies. This makes it very useful for our research purposes, as it provides a synopsis of what medicine looked like in the appropriate time period across the globe.  This article covers medicine in hunter-gatherer communities, Aboriginal communities, Native American tribes, and ancient Egypt.  Thus, it represents a good jumping off point for our research into paleolithic medicine.  The issue with the source however, is that it is a Google book, so there are pages hidden from the reader unless the full version is bought.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * A History of Medicine
 * Article Evaluation
 * This source is a textbook, which has a chapter devoted to paleomedicine and paleopathology. Thus, it provides a lot of solid baseline information that would be useful in our research.  This is a good source for our purposes, and should be used in the project.
