When I and two other people left class and walked to the Anthropology open house, we were stopped outside of the door to receive the paper. We were told we needed 6 other stamps in total to get the extra credit for the assignment. One stamp was given to use at the door.

Archaeologists destroy the sites they excavate. This has been one of the major criticisms that has been lobbed at archaeologists for years. When archaeologists excavate a site, the common practice of digging and removing artifacts is sometimes frowned upon by the communities in the surrounding area. In the 1800’s people’s views of indigenous communities where reprehensible to say the lest “American Indians were held to be inferior to civilized men in order to rationalize the seizure of Indian lands, and that eventually, racial myths grew to supplant any other myths about Indians as a justification for waging war on Indians and violating their treaties.” (Watkins 2000: 6) This trend continued into the 1900’s, but the degradation that indigenous and to some extant non-indigenous communities have experienced is still present to this day, but it is not as prevalent as it was in the past. The things that were decimated where Indigenous graves, sacred places, and cultural materials. The practice of looting grave goods has been a problem since Europeans first came to the Americas “The looting of the Native American past began with the very earliest European presence in North America, starting earlier than many would think.”

Learning from people from past generations is an awesome experience. Not only does one get more knowledge from the experiences, but one can learn about oneself even further. I person I was interested in interviewing was my father. My father who left his hometown at the age of 20, for a better future, remembers his upbringing in the small town that is a speechless witness of my dad’s early life. My dad was born in a rural town in Mexico, which is about an hour and half away from where tequila is produced. He was the third oldest child out of five children. My dads ascribed status was of the poor working class. At an early age my dad tells me that he was expected to help out my grandfather with the farm animals, such as the horses, pigs, and

According to the RP, exceptionally dark bruising and skin tears were observed on the resident's hands and wrists. Consequently the RP questioned both caregivers (their names were not provided) regarding the injuries and neither had an explanation on how the injuries occurred.

Space is one of the most researched and government funded fields internationally. Globally, researchers have been attempting to discover more about the universe far before Sputnik was launched on October 4, 1957. NASA has launched over 100 flights to space, but one of the most recent flights is Expedition 47. This team has gone to microgravity to investigate spaceflight’s effect on the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurovestibular systems in the human body. The crew members are also trying to discover how to make the workout equipment more practical and create more room for future space crews during long-duration missions. The Expedition 47 began on March 1, 2016 and will end on June 5, 2016. This three month long research expedition

Everyone gathered on the campus grounds waiting on the bus to take us on our very first archaeological field expedition. I’ll be the first to admit I’m something of a loner, my only contacts with my fellow classmates was the occasional salutation of “Good Moring” when entering a classroom but only if someone beat me to the room. Normally I’m the first person there because I like sitting at the back of the classroom and those are normally the first seats to go. Imagine our surprise when we found out that we wouldn’t be staying at a lodge. We would be out in the wilderness, using flimsy old cloth tents. We were told to sign a waiver, should any freak accident occur on the trip the university would not be liable.

The Vertebral column is an amazing part of the human body. It is made up of many different pieces that all fit together to make something that keeps the body up right, allows movement, supports weight and protects the spinal cord. There are four different segments of the spinal cord. One of those segments is called the lumbar region. The lumbar region consists of 5 vertebrae that make up the lower back (Lippert, 2011). The lumbar region supports most of the body weight and allows movement. People often do not realize how important the vertebral column is until it is already injured. Injury to the lumbar region can be caused from a vertebral fracture and can be very painful to ones lower back.

According to the American Anthropological Association (AAA), anthropology is the study of humankind. In order for anthropologists, to comprehend each aspect of the human race she or he does so in a broad matter. They tend to view archaeology as being related to the past to determine how human beings existed as well as what they considered to be significant from their perspective. They reflect on what created our physical structure including our bones, flesh, and organs. Anthropologists tend to also observe human beings and animals at the same time to determine their similarity and dissimilarity. Despite the fact that, humans obtain the same necessities in order to survive; how they meet these needs are often different.

An Applied Anthropologist knows that understanding other people around is necessary in functioning and interacting with others. Applied anthropology benefits humanity by looking at diverse groups and finds the similarities among them. The increasing number of people on earth consistently change because of the influences of other cultures and changes in their environment. Applied anthropology allows for people to have a broad open minded perspective into the unknown misunderstood cultural worlds of other people. They have a perspective on people and cultures different from their own. Anthropological analyze has been turned onto the cultures of today, including urbanized environments like Southern California where many sub cultures thrive

Ms. Adams was stocking canned soup on a high shelf, while working at Zita Groceries Inc. When she tried to reach the top shelf, Ms. Adams fell three feet. Ms. Adams broke her right lower leg, suffered a gash in her right shoulder, received a concussion, and damaged the rotator cuff in her right

In the world of anthropology, the study of human societies and their cultures or development, the people that study those topics often turn to scientific field notes rather than photography. Anthropologists are supposed to maintain objective and impartial conclusions when studying cultures or societies and for years the only consistent way of doing so was to only consider unbiased field notes, or simply scientific notes or observations. However, over time anthropologists came to realize that the only way to be able to see everything was through photographs that encapsulate the entirety of what is being seen in a way that the use of merely field notes cannot. When looking at the science of anthropology, the addition of photography into the previously field note dominated margins of observations has had a beneficial and significant impact on the field, proving that the use of photography in anthropology is immensely effective.
