Anthropology Field Expedition

Scotland has an abundance of archaeology all throughout the country and all within different parts of prehistory. Scottish archaeology has a big impact on both the rest of the UK and on the rest of Europe. Although during the beginning of the 20th century, archaeology was seen as nothing more than labour, with the help of the two great men which held ‘the Abercromby chair’ – both with their own contributions to Scottish archaeology as a whole – it soon rocketed into the discipline what we see today.

After rewatching Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark for the second time I view Indiana Jones as less of an archaeologist than I did the first time I watched it. In my first paper I stated that Indiana Jones was a combination of a grave digger and an archaeologist. Now after completing this course I see that he is even less of an archaeologist than I first depicted. The only ethical archaeology being conducted in this movie is done by the Nazi’s; not Indiana Jones. Beyond, getting historical accuracy of the time period correct this movie fails fails to paint a picture of what archaeology truly is. In turn, since my knowledge is far more comprehensive I have come to realize that the movie fails to showcase archaeology even more than I originally

Since this is my second college camp I have visited, I already know a lot about college life. Going to Union made me like it even more. Having a dorm like experience is so fun and becoming friends with everyone in it just makes the atmosphere so much better. I didn’t particularly enjoy having similar food every single food but you are going to find that any college so there isn’t much to do. In addition having only a couple classes a day and time in between each one to go chill out in the garden or back at the house is

Without the expedition of Lewis and Clark, the American history that people know would be completely different changing the accomplishments in history. The background and experience Lewis and Clark already developed prior to the expedition would be very beneficial and help make the journey easier. The development of the mission played a key part in the expedition itself because if the development did not play out exactly how Jefferson planned, then the expedition may not have been as successful. A big part of history, the expedition was very significant and impacted American society in ways that no one will ever be able to understand. Although the expedition of Lewis and Clark would be a very long journey, the United States would not have developed into such a prosperous country without the two men who traveled across the terrain in rain and snow in order to improve the United States.

As you are walking up the Jefferson Fork, you notice that Sacagawea is weak and ill. To the point where she can't move, and can't bare to walk. Your men say that she is holding up the expedition, and that they can go on without her. You , your men, Clark, sacagawea, her infant son, and your slave York, have to either decide to save her, or leave her and continue the expedition.

On February 11, 1805 Sacagawea gives birth to a baby boy, Jean Baptiste. in present day North Dakota with the help of Captain Lewis and some rattlesnake tail. 54 days later Sacagawea wrapped Jean Baptiste onto a cradleboard, strapped him on her back and they began the journey to the West coast. Lewis and Clark send the keelboat and approx. a dozen men back downriver, with maps, reports, Indian artifacts and other scientific specimens for Jefferson. The remaining party heads west. On July 3,1806 they have crossed the Bitterroots again, the expedition breaks into smaller groups in order to explore more of the Louisiana Territory. Clark and his group head down the Yellowstone River, while Lewis takes the shortcut to the Great Falls, and then

We went to southwestern Colorado to learn more about the history of the Anasazi Indians. The amalgamation of tribes which lived thousands of years ago in the American Southwest. We had brought along a minimum amount of cash (approximately $150.00 each). Because we were going to spend only one night in a motel and camp during the rest of the trip. We hiked many miles. Covering closes to twenty miles a day. Our entire club began to get tired and irritated on the third day. But the rewards were worth the effort. Although our trek was long and arduous. I will never forget the sight of the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings in the early morning sunlight on June

In Barbara Anderson’s book, First Fieldwork: The Misadventures of an Anthropologist, she discusses how as a graduate student she went to a small Danish town called Taarnby to do an ethnographic study of the community. When she went to Denmark, she took her family with her: Thor her husband and Katie her daughter. This book talks about the many difficulties and problems that an untried and inexperienced anthropologist can face, even though some of it is “improved upon”.

I agree with you. I also believe that archaeologists do have the right to excavate Native Americans ancestors only if they have the proper permission. If the surviving family wants to know more information about the deceased and the tribe, then it is a good idea; but if they do not, then it is not good. I also agree that there is not much difference between excavating Native American ancestors and modern day cemeteries; to me they are both disturbing someone’s family who has been laid to rest.

Despite the intense efforts to uncover information on the prehistoric Native Americans occupying the Washington Coast, very little archaeological evidence has been uncovered to suggest prehistoric occupation (Cole, et.al, 1996). A finding that fiercely contrasts with the early historic record, which projects a population total of 6,000, and as such, should demonstrate heavy if not consistent findings within the region (Cole, et.al, 1996). However, this is not the case for the Washington State coastline. Despite the extent of research that has been conducted from 1976-1994, the archeological findings along the Southern Washington Coastline are nonexistent, less for what has been found upon the surface. Cole and associates attempted to find the missing link between as to where the evidence may have gone. In 1990 two geologist accidentally uncovered prehistoric fishing camps in the interdial zone, covered by mud from an earthquake that occurred 300 years ago (Cole, et.al, 1996). By studying the geophysical qualities of Southern Washington (1700 AD), Cole and associates, discover that seismic activity at the Cascadia subduction zone caused not only an earthquake, but a substantial Tsunami, which worked to bury the

This approach can be subdivided into cultural and social aspects that were affected by disease and conquest, and linguistically as impacted by the Spanish inferior influence of conversion. In the field of archaeology, these changes could be seen in pottery styles and technology, which was attributed to the influence made by the Europeans. The abandonment of sites and shifts in settlement patterns were associated with depopulation, which resulted from contact and diseases. The theory that most historians and archaeologist accept is the ethnohistorical approach because it clearly shows the historical archaeology of Native Americans depopulation and must be studied as a form of cultural change. The Spanish affected the native’s socially by kidnapping

The following report details the archaeological fieldwork conducted by New South Associates, Inc. for proposed widening and improvements along U.S. 158 in Forsyth and Guilford counties, North Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to identify and evaluate archaeological sites for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), within the proposed project area of potential effects (APE). This project was conducted for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) (TIP R-2577ABC, State Project No. 37405). This is a state-funded project covered under a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) individual permit. As such, the USACE serves as the lead federal agency and the work complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as amended.

Working with my co counselors is really difficult at first because for the most part I’ve never lived with these girls before and prior I had been in the same cabin with the same girls each summer. As a counselor, parents trust me with the lives of their children. I’m still a kid, how could anyone ever expect me to take on such a responsibility. Nevertheless being a counselor is an indescribable experience. I have now had the same campers for four summers. When people ask my about my camp experience I immediately whip out a my phone to show them a picture of my campers, its like a grandpa walking around with his grandkids school picture in his

Towards the mid 19th century, methods in excavating Pompeii and Herculaneum changed due to the concerns associated with the preservation and conservation of the site. As a result of this, archaeologists such as Giuseppe Fiorelli and Amedeo Maiuri developed new methods and approaches towards the excavation of Pompeii.

Last Thursday, I went to Native American museum. I heard the museum was built in just before three years. So the museum was very clean and beautiful. Also the building was built in modern style. But inside of the museum, a number of the relics were of considerable antiquity. We took on the tour with docent. Docent was a women who is a member of Navajo. Navajo is one kind of Native American tribe. She told of her tribe’s story, so I felt more truthful. At first, we saw the traditional boat. It was made of wood and some of them was made of straw. I was curious about that could really float. Because the boat was huge and heavy. She told to us, it was actually used in the tribe. Then we went to 4th floor and we saw various flag. Each of the flag
