Personal Narrative: If We Were Archaeology

Archaeology is not just ‘digging’, although the excavation of artefacts is important there are many more aspects involved that are all as significant. Archaeology can best be described as the study of extinct human cultures (Woodbury, 2008). There are 3 different fields of archaeologist, these being Field archaeologist, university

The artifact represents personal objects and meaningful moments, person influence on our own life. This is one of the assignment in our program to share our artifacts toward our colleagues and professors. This will take in more about different culture, uniqueness, identity and values of our schoolmates and how they reflected in their life.

Death by Theory, written by Adrian Praetzellis, is an engaging and informational book written in a novelistic way that engages the reader to think critically about archaeology. Compared to other forms of informational text about archaeology, Death by Theory teaches archaeological theory by telling a story that incorporates the different theories of archaeology in a realistic setting. While standard textbooks about the theory of archaeology can come off a bit dry, Death by Theory skips the standard definitions and applies this in a way that aids the reader in understanding how these theories and terms can be applied in an actual archaeological setting. This text illustrates the adventure of plucky archaeologist Dr. Hannah Green and her nephew Sean Doyle as they seek to explain an unusual archaeological site while dealing with real life archaeological struggles. The protagonists deal with an egotistical colleague of Dr. Green who sought her out as a consult on a particularly strange archaeological case. All the while dealing with cults, the media, and incompatible data.

Archaeologists are now able to come together with natives and learn about the past as a team, getting more insight into ceremonials, traditions, sacred ritueals, everyday workings, and lifestyles of native peoples. Respecting the grounds and artifacts of these indigenous people is respecting their heritage- our universal heritage. The unfolding of information allows archaeologists to gain perspective on the people and land before the white

So far for jobs archaeologist Fiorelli and his crew found doctor tools and instruments in houses. Another thing is cooking that archaeologist Fiorelli uncovered and found cooking materials such as glasses, jars, and bread pans. There were also housekeepers in that time. Fiorelli found the preserved bodies of servants holding food. That is some of the job they had.

As I researched archaeology field schools to attend, I was drawn to the Mohegan Archaeology Project due to the breadth of methods and techniques that will be used on site, the fact that it is a Native American site, and that it works so closely with the Mohegan tribe to truly meet this people’s needs when excavating its artifacts and preserving its cultural heritage.

When I first looked for a topic, it was harder than I thought. As I picked up my pen and paper everything evanesced. When the topic searching wasn’t going well, I tried to define the word family. Ooh did I think long and hard, but realized that everybody’s definition was personal and different based on their feelings and memories. I thought long and hard into my family history and adorned the memory of our vacation to South Dakota, along with the activities attached to the trip. In my family narrative, I will be explaining a family trip to Mt. Rushmore, Kalahari, and the wild experience of standing in a glass box staring down from the Willis Tower, trying to unlock my personal definition of the word family. Now, let’s jump to the exhilarating trip to South Dakota!

It is the year 1922 and I am finishing my last year of college. I am majoring in archeology and looking forward to the field project required for graduation. I would have no idea what a major part this project would play in my life until after it occurred. I was assigned to Howard Carter’s team. He worked in Egypt for 31 years before he was hired by Lord Carnarvon in 1907 to work on excavations with him. Everyone in college hopes to get assigned to a team that will make a real earth shattering discovery.

In the film the archaeologists seem to just be running rampant. Everything is very fast paced and thrilling; they are constantly involved in chases and fights through the local towns. In reality this is rare if not non-existent. Archaeologists are not only tasked with uncovering the past but additionally must tread carefully around locals. They should disturb the community as little as possible and often have positive interactions with them. A good example of this is how Dr. Morag helped to educate children in the middle east about the consequences of looting ancient

When I think of the word legacy I think of how I will be remember and what I will leave behind for generations to come. I think of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi, whose impact changes the lives of many and the world as it was known during that time. I don’t think that my impact will be received on such a big scale like Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and many other but hopefully I will be able to touch the people who were close to me during my lifetime.

I have only one word: listen. Humans became so loud, shouting to be heard over everyone else. So concerned with ourselves, our jobs, our money, or the internet that we stopped paying attention to the pieces of nature around us, beautiful and ugly alike. We try so hard to fill our lives with meaning in the most unmeaningful of ways, promotions and new cars, when there’s so much more to living. The trees sing when the wind blows and we’re listening to the radio. Hermit crabs chirp, dolphins name themselves, prairie dogs have voices and we ignore it all in favor of Facebook What doesn’t directly affect us is blocked out or put on a back burner so we won’t think about it. We became so removed from the natural world we no longer notice what’s

presenting archaeological data to the public and interpreting that data to the public as well

Archaeology has a big role in finding the ancient ways of life and helping us understand how the people were and lived. Without all the findings we have found throughout the world we would have been left in the dark about life in ancient times. Archaeology isn't just about digging and finding artifacts, although that is a major part of it that's definitely not all. Science, history, math and so much more goes into helping us learn about life in the ancient times. Many different kinds of people put lots of hard work into helping is understand and get answers to why most things are the way they are.The archaeological finds in ancient civilizations helps us perceive the way of life.

William wouldn’t come down and he was just enjoying life as if we didn’t have anywhere to be in the next 3 minutes. Of course, I didn’t want to go to the stupid meeting I mean it had no point, but as the Queen of India, I guess I had a responsibility. So 15 minutes later (yes, William took FIFTEEN MINUTES to get ready after already having AN HOUR).

This Field Research Procedure covers excavations between 1983 and 1993.The Field Research Procedure assumes that archaeological data cannot be discovered but are defined and collected as a result of archaeologically informed choice. Data are variables which are chosen and characterized before an excavation, and are measured in the field. Information is expressed as measured quantities, dimensions or other values. Observations are documented impressions which are not data. Sand, stones, and debris become data, and data becomes history as a result of a methodical scientific itinerary. This begins with investigation, proceeds to assessment, and then to an approach, or project design, which leads to data acquisition, or the excavation. The
