AE: Archaeology, 9ePrefaceCorrelation GuideTopic GuideInternet ReferencesUNIT 1: About Archaeologists and ArchaeologyUnit Overview1.The Awful Truth about Archaeology, Dr. Lynne Sebastian, Albuquerque Tribune, April 16, 2002"You're an Archaeologist! That sounds soooo exciting!" Of course it sounds exciting because of the hyperbole and mystery perpetuated by T.V. shows, movies, and novels— professional archaeologists know better! Yes, the thrill of looking at the past is truly exciting. The process of discovery is slow, tedious, and frustrating especially when nothing is found. Digging square holes in the ground and carefully measuring artifacts, cataloging, taking notes, and hoping to publish something meaningful about the past—it is more of a work of love that has its inherent reward in knowledge. It is a work of love that has its inherent reward in knowledge.2.Archaeology: The Next 50 Years, Brian Fagan, Archaeology, September/October 2006As Brian Fagan reflects upon how far the field of archaeology has come as well as where it is going, he finds that "a century of increasing involvement with science has produced a finer understanding of how archaeological sites were formed, how people exploited their surrounding landscapes, and even how they thought about the cosmos and the world around them. Many future discoveries will come from minute detective work far from the field, contributing to a much more detailed portrait of the past."3.All the King's Sons, Douglas Preston, The New Yorker, January 22, 1996A well-told narrative of modern archaeology, Douglas Preston's article is based on scientific archaeology. It is not, however, a typical "scientific" or "monograph" report common to academic archaeology. This tale of archaeology, with all the immediacy and punch of being in the field, is wish fulfillment for students or laypersons of archaeology because it is about a spectacular find—the biggest archaeological site in Egypt since King Tut's tomb. No "blah-blah Egypt, blah-blah dummy," here.4.Maya Archaeologists Turn to the Living to Help Save the Dead, Michael Bawaya, Science Magazine, August 26, 2005By enabling local residents, rather than outsiders, to serve as custodians of their own heritage, archaeologists have helped to instill in them a sense of identity and, instead of looting and destroying valuable sites, they are now dedicated to preserving them.5.The Fantome Controversy, Heather Pringle, Archaeology, May/June 2006As treasure hunting at marine archaeological sites becomes more common, the mercenary practices of a small number of professional underwater archaeologists are coming under fire. Not only are they helping private companies obtain government licenses and search for valuables; they are willing to accept the fact that such materials will be sold for a profit. For the professional archaeological community, this is simply immoral.6.Distinguished Lecture in Archaeology: Communication and the Future of American Archaeology, Jeremy A. Sabloff, American Anthropologist, December 1998Jeremy Sabloff discusses the role that archaeology should play in public education and the need for archaeologists to communicate more effectively with relevant writing for the public. He further suggests the need to recognize nonacademic archaeologists and to focus on action archaeology, or what is more usually termed public archaeology.UNIT 2: Problem Oriented Archaeology
