Many people visit museums to view antiquities. They enjoy seeing these relics of the ancient world as a way of understanding past cultures and sometimes connecting with their own heritage. This evidence was found in the passage, “Returning Antiquities to Their Countries of Origin” by Joyce Mortimer paragraph 1. Cultural artifacts should not be returned to their region of origin because some people don’t have enough money to travel to China or Brazil to go look at ancient artifacts from the past. So they should bring these ancient trinkets to places like America and Canada so people around the world can study different cultures to learn more about the life around use.

Human beings, desire to maintain a connection with the past is achieved through the languages spoken, the various cultures practiced, and sadly through acquiring of cultural property by the means of grave robbing. Native Americans wanted justice for these past mistreatments and control over their history.

Finally, on November 16, 1990, The United States Government passed The Native American Graves Protection and Reparation Act. NAGPRA summarizes that museums must conduct an inventory of all native American cultural artifacts and remains. (Native) In addition, Museums send the inventories to federally recognized tribes, in

The Ancient Egyptian artifact that I chose to analyze and is the most interesting piece I have seen in the museum is the Cartonnage of Nespanetjerenpare. The artwork itself was larger than me and that was one of the reasons why this artwork was very interesting to me, since I am a fairly tall individual. It was created during the Third intermediate period that was around Dynasty XXII or the twenty second Dynasty of Ancient Egypt and was possibly acquired from Thebes. The dynasty was also known as the Bubastite dynasty which was approxamently from 945-718 B.C.

An artifact has been found that pushes the timeline of the arrival of Native Americans in North Carolina back 4,000 years.

People want history to give them the answers that they want to hear. They want history to be told in a way that praises their society, benefits their community, and removes all wrong that they otherwise may have felt if their history was interpreted in a different way. Those who want their history to be told ideally are those who are in power, those who have control over what can and cannot be documented; officials, leaders. In this case, those leaders were the Europeans who obliterated Aztec society in 1519 and gained complete control over them, providing themselves the ability to paint over history in a way that would glorify themselves. In an image illustrated by

The concessions that were forced upon France by England were that France had to give up all their territories in North America. Manila and Cuba were given back to Spain. Martinique,Guadelope, and St Lucia restored back to France. Spain ended up having to return the land from Florida to Mississippi. Also, France receieved the Indian factories. But basically France had give up everything. It was a reset but it was the new way. Every nation cooperated. The New World possessions seemed to play a signifcant role in the treaty. These possessions placed everything back to the way it was the way England wanted it, but for the most part they tried to be fair. They did in fact restore which was surprising. Although land was given back and restored

In LIS 600 students evaluate democratic principles, major information policies, ethical policies, and the role information agencies play in preserving information. In the paper the student determines the role of librarians in the implementation of policy and the role of continuing education no user relations.The instructor describes my paper as “excellent research and smart thoughts.” I earned a B for the paper. The final exam is a culmination of knowledge and discussion of ethical policies, evolution of policies, and education of librarians.

One cannot create a strategic plan without understanding information policies. I received a letter grade of A for the final exam. Instructor comments for the exam include “a job well done.” These artifacts for LIS 600 build a foundation of library profession providing the theories for future librarian and library development.

With Atahualpa as their hostage, the Spaniards began sacking the city, stripping sacred religious objects from the temples of the sun and moon. Atahualpa, saw that the Spaniards valued gold and silver so highly. Therefore he made Pizarro an offer he knew he could not refuse. In exchange for his freedom, The Emperor promised to fill his massive prison cell with gold that extended as high as Pizarro could reach his hand with two rooms with silver. This was one of the artifacts that was there. I picked this artifact because it looks unique and different I’m tired of always seeing the same stuff so I decided to chose this one.

Guang, probably from Anyang, China, Shang dynasty, 12th or 11th century BCE is a fined artifact. A guang is a particular shape used in Chinese art for vessels, originally made as Chinese ritual bronzes in the Shang dynasty.

When you first walk into Cravens World Exhibit the walls and floor are painted white, very simplistic in order to avoid overwhelming the observer. The observers eye is automatically drawn to a circular shelving system, which holds many of the aesthetic artifacts. The center piece is transparent to provide the observer the opportunity to examine objects from every side and perspective. There are no distractions in the exhibit, other than the other marvelous artifacts mounted on the wall and in clear cases. Surrounding the main circle are artifacts in display windows from all around the world. There is close to no description as to what each artifact is on the main display, only an inventory number which the viewer then has

Archeological survey can be a time consuming, dangerous, expensive and requires thoughtful planning and organization.The Uncontrolled-Exclusive Survey contain assumption: "people always live near water." Assumption problems it is not true and vague.The Controlled-Exclusive Survey It is sometimes assumed that after working for a long time in an area, an archeologist has automatically gained enough understanding of the area's archeology to undertake controlled-exclusive surveys.

appearing to the local Indians who at the time were ignorant of sun worship, architecture, and agriculture" (Ra 30). These reed boats were the same size and specification of the boats used by Egyptians, and the people who crewed them began, among other things, building pyramids and statues, many of which still stand throughout Central and South America (Ra 3). In fact, the most concrete piece of evidence linking the Egyptians and early Americans is a small stone statue, discovered in Mexico, bearing features that are decidedly similar to those of Egyptian sculpture. The statue was carbon dated 800 BC (Begley, et al 28), long before Europeans were said to have contacted Central and South Americans.
