Extractions: Teacher guide Why teach archeology and ethnography? For students - Uncovering artifacts can be an exciting adventure. Deciphering how objects were used, who might have used them, and other aspects of their context helps students to think about the commonalties between cultures. For teachers - Many disciplines such as mathematics, geography, cultural studies, and citizenship can be taught through anthropology. Archeological activities can promote social interaction alongside scientific investigation. For preservation - Students who know about archeology and ethnography will have a greater appreciation for sites that are historically and culturally significant. Hopefully, this will lead to less looting and vandalism and greater support for curation in the future. Visit Archaeological Sites

Extractions: The following activities are designed as primers to teach the analytical skills archaeologist use in interpreting artifacts at sites. Use these exercises and the additional links that provide others to introduce the basics of archeology, and develop critical thinking skills, teamwork, and writing abilities. After one or all of these activities have been completed the students should learn about the archeology of their state or the local area. The links page has the web address of all the state archeology offices. Through them the teacher (and students) can find out about archeological excavations being carried out in their area. Some teachers like to make what is known as a "box dig" for their students to learn about archeology. The teacher puts different color soils in a box and hides "artifacts" in the layers. This teaching method can work, but it has the problem of relaying the message that archeology is only about digging and not learning about the past by studying the artifacts. If you choose to do a box dig with your class be sure to talk about what happens to the artifacts after they are recovered. Archeologists generally spend three hours in the lab for every hour they spend in the field. We clean and identify the artifacts, then analyze them to determine what they tell us about people in the past. Students should recognize the fact that archeology is not only about digging, but learning about what the digging tells us about history.

Extractions: 3. What college or university should I go to? Professional archaeologists work for universities, colleges, museums, the federal government, state governments, in private companies, and as consultants. They teach, conduct field investigations, analyze artifacts and sites, and publish the results of their research. The minimal educational requirement to work as a field archaeologist is a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in anthropology or archaeology and previous field experience (usually obtained by spending a summer in an archaeological field school or participating as a volunteer, see question 5). While this is sufficient to work on an archaeological field crew, it is not sufficient to move into supervisory roles. Supervisory positions require a graduate degree, either an M.A./M.S. or a Ph.D. Academic Positions.

Extractions: About the Society About Archeology Kids Links ... Funding October is Texas Archeology Awareness Month, during the month activities are scheduled in all areas of the state. The month concludes with the annual convention of the Texas Archeological Society, which will be held on October 30 at Green Oaks Inn in Fort Worth this year. Everyone is welcome to attend the convention and to get updated information on the history and prehistory of Texas. In recognition of the month, the "Historical Highlights" for October will focus upon the role that archeology plays in helping us understand the past. A Mexican proverb states that "A nation without a past has no future." Unfortunately our past is being destroyed every day by the bulldozer, by the professional looter looking for artifacts to sell, and just as much by the unthinking person who tears up the ground looking for "goodies" to display. In Off The Beaten Trail, William Edward Syers wrote about how he learned the difference between looting and archeology. Syers described and imagined dig in a cave in the Devil's River area. "Shoveling away ten feet of layered floor, we'd find enough 'arrowheads', all right, some quite deep. Likely we'd skip most of the rubble - broken, pencil-sized sticks, nondescript flints and wadded fiber, some sooty smears, bits of bone and straw, like torn sombrero brims. I'd keep the big point near the bottom - for a paperweight. Good relic hunting, sure enough!"

Extractions: Archeology Agatha Christie once said "An archeologist is the best husband a woman can get. The older she gets, the more interested, he gets in her" If nothing interests you better than tackling large volumes containing secrets of the past, if your idea of a picnic is to go to a run down fort in the oldest pair of jeans you can lay your hands on, you should consider a career in archeology. What's it all about? Also spelled ARCHAEOLOGY, it is the scientific study of the material remains of past human life and activities. These include human artifacts from the very earliest bones and stone tools to the man-made objects that are buried or thrown away in the present day. Archaeological investigations are a principal source of knowledge of prehistoric, ancient, and extinct cultures. An archaeologists objects of fascination include anything and everything made by human beings at any point of time. These may be tools, weapons, apparel, utensils, buildings, ornaments, paintings, inscriptions and so on. All of these are loosely referred to under a common term "artifacts".

Extractions: Each fall, the Superintendent of Virgin Islands National Park submits a prioritized list of needs to the Friends' Board of Directors. Given limitations of federal funding for the Park - it typically meets only 70% of the Park's budgetary needs - Friends' support is often the only way critical natural resource protection, cultural preservation and environmental education activities can take place. The Friends' Board carefully considers the projects in the Park's Support Request. Those projects that are approved, along with Friends-initiated projects that the Board chooses to undertake, constitute our annual project plan. This year, 2003, we have committed to another ambitious and challenging project plan that will contribute to making Virgin Islands National Park a model of natural resource protection and cultural preservation. This year's program is projected to cost more than $400,000. While the Park's priority needs vary from year to year, a number of projects have been closely identified with the Friends and we seek to support them each year. These include Annaberg Cultural Presentations, Trail Maintenance, Eco-camps, the Folklife Festival and Cultural Theater Presentations. Most notable is our long-term support for Archeology in Virgin Islands National Park and these efforts are documented here in considerable depth. Click

[ICPAC] Historians Advancement for those who teach depends on the History and archeology Knowledgeof events that happened in includes knowledge of the activities performed by http://icpac.indiana.edu/careers/career_profiles/100342.xml.print
Extractions: http://icpac.indiana.edu/careers/career_profiles/100342.xml.print Job Description Summary: Historians research, analyze, and explain past events and people. Historians are concerned with the causes and effects of past events. Often the impacts of people or long-term actions are not possible to understand until many years have passed. Historians study and consider many different views of events to understand the past more completely. They write up the results of their work in papers to be published in journals and books. Their works are then reviewed by other historians, who in turn offer their own interpretations. Eventually this process establishes the truth of an event. This helps people learn, see their world more clearly, and advance. Historians use many sources in their research. For example, they look at government and institutional records, newspapers and magazines, photographs, and films. They also use sources such as personal interviews, diaries, and letters. In addition, they may conduct their own interviews with experts or witnesses of historical events. Historians organize all this information in a meaningful way. They may supervise students or other workers who help them catalog the information. They also try to determine whether items are authentic. Once historians have an understanding of an event, they may write a book or put together an exhibit for a historical society. They may also give talks to historical societies, students, and other groups.

Extractions: Listen carefully while you stand at the rim above Horsecollar Ruin. Can you hear voices in the wind? Listen for the rhythmic grinding of mano on metate as corn is turned to flour. Turkeys cackle in a pen while dogs bark. Children laugh as they play among the rocks. The soft song of a potter at work is interrupted by the shouts of a returning hunting party carrying a bighorn sheep. The sharp pecking sound you hear may be an artist or shaman carving a new petroglyph. In 1904 the bridges were known by different names. Owachomo, Sipapu, and Kachina had been named, respectively, Edwin, Augusta, and Caroline, after early explorers or their relatives. In 1909 President William Howard Taft enlarged the boundaries and affixed the Indian names, which are Hopi. They are not the names of the Paiute or Navajo Indians who lived near here in historic times. The Paiutes had no names for individual bridges, but called them all"Ma-Vah-Talk-Tump," meaning "under the horse's belly." The names were probably chosen from the Hopi, rather than the Navajo, because the Hopi were found living in structures similar to the prehistoric cliff dwellings of the Anasazi culture found in the park. Owachomo, meaning "rock mounds," is named for the large rounded rock mass found near the mesa. Sipapu, means "the place of emergence" in Hopi Indian legends. Prehistoric pictographs found here resembled kachinas, dancers, and so the youngest bridge got its name.
