Archeologist have been portrayed in a variety of ways throughout their time in hollywood since the 1920s. With a factor of stereotypes that can paint them in a certain light, the fictional piece that outlined my character was Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

In Sharon Waxman's article, “The Show-Biz Pharaoh of Egypt’s Antiquities” (June 13, 2005) She teaches readers about Dr. Zahi Hawass and his findings as an archaeologist. Waxman guides the readers to look beyond someone's work and look at their persona. She first displays this by using media understanding in contrast to co-workers opinions of Hawass’ attitude during his projects. To demonstrate this Waxman additionally asserts her claim again with Hawass’ feelings of himself. Furthermore, she showcases his careless attitude towards other opinions to portray more of his personality. Waxman uses an informative and conflictive tone to illustrate that she wants her audience of archaeologists to look deeper at the people around them and for them

Deep in the jungles of South America a man emerges from the shadows, a gun is drawn, and the hammer clicks back. Before the gun clears the holster, another man whose identity is concealed by shadow and the wide brim of a Fedora has already drawn his own weapon, a whip. With a crack like thunder the whip strikes the gun and it falls to the ground, Indiana Jones emerges from the shadows with a smile on his face. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action movie that was produced by Steven Spielberg in 1981. The film follows the adventures of Indiana Jones as he attempts to find the Ark of the Covenant before it falls under Nazi control. The first scene of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark introduces two main characters, Indiana Jones and Dr. Rene Belloq. Throughout the film these two characters compete to acquire the Ark of the Covenant, their actions all leading towards the final scene where only one man achieves this goal. Steven Spielberg uses techniques such as framing, visual effects, and lighting in the first and last scenes of the movie to develop the classic hero and villain archetypes for Dr. Jones and Dr. Belloq respectively.

Modern scientific methods and testing have made it possible for both historians and archaeologists and also

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.

Indiana Jones is a renowned character in today’s media. He is portrayed as a fearless fedora-wearing archaeologist, and his goal is to collect artifacts and preserve them in museums. While the field of archaeology is exciting, and the idea of partaking in perilous adventures may seem alluring, the archaeologist was depicted in an incorrect manner. An archaeologist is someone who studies human history through the excavation of sites and the examination of artifacts. Archaeologists study the past to learn more about the lives and cultures of people before. The science of archaeology is a relatively new and quickly growing field; yet, as expected with science, numerous ethical and controversial issues have emerged.

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

Racism is the discrimination of a community or individual based on the idea of their race or ethnic group, which is typically a minority of those who are marginalized. People who try to fight off and battle the idea of racism and segregation should be rewarded and praised as the real heroes, they are fighting the status quo of society. Others who don’t fight to get rid of racism and segregation are worthy of our praise and glory. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, we meet a, seemingly, helpful and anti-racist lawyer named Atticus Finch. While many people aspire to be like Atticus, not everyone agrees, including Christopher Metress.

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.

Carter’s methodology for the excavation was that of maintaining records for each artefact and that every artefact that was brought out of the tomb was preserved appropriately. Carter methodology involved the referencing of every item found, where it was found in the tomb, preservation of the item and its conservation. Photographs were also taken of the artefacts

What surprised me most about this documentary was that as a child I had just assumed that the sporadic and fantastical adventures of Indiana Jones were fiction in their entirety. I never would have been able to guess that many parts of his adventures mirrored the lives of real-life archeologists. What was most interesting about learning about the way Indiana Jones and modern day archeologists share some of the same adventures was the way they spoke about it so practically. The endless insects, the illnesses, the natives and rivalries, it was all like hearing this grand adventure become real-life. It was fascinating having this idea of archeology being a somewhat mild and monotonous career flipped around to realize that archeology is really

The media has a big impact on today’s generation due to its accessibility. Anyone could pick up a book from the library, stroll along to the movies, or simply go on the web to search for relevant information happening in today’s world. Archaeology is widely used in several forms of media such as books, comics, television series, movies, and the news. While the media exposes and educates its audience, can their information be trusted? Although the goal of some news outlets such as Fox News and CNN is to provide relevant information to their audience, how accurate are those information? In this paper, we will examine how archaeology is represented in several news outlets such as Fox News, New York Times, CNN and NBC News, and if the information

In 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. This film depicts Jones as a professor, anthropologist and an archaeologist. The first scene of the movie places Indiana Jones in a tomb in order to get the small golden statue, before moving on to the next part of the movie where he’s teaching a class on archaeology. He is called to action later in the film when Jones is told that the Nazis are searching for something called the Ark of the Covenant; something that holds the key to humanity. Throughout this film, Indiana Jones is filmed working as both an archaeologist and anthropologist and though the movie series is centered around his profession, Jones is not actually practicing proper anthropology or archaeology.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the 1981 film that follows renowned archeologist and professor Indiana Jones as he races against time and Nazis to uncover one of the greatest treasures believed to be in existence, the Ark of the Covenant. In this film, Indiana Jones fulfills the role of the hero and as such must fulfill certain tasks that will prove his heroic qualities. In "The Hero's Journey of Self-Transformation: Models of Higher Development from Mythology," David Hartman and Diane Zimbermoff explore the traits and characteristics that define a hero and demonstrate the transformation that his or her ego will undergo in order to become a more complete person.
