Archaeology of Death <-- OOH. Details.

[(Anonymous)]

IT IS SO EXCELLENT. But oh god the reading load. 80+ pages between each class of highly technical writing. And I have a 25-40 page paper awaiting me at the end.

But yeah, we deal some with actual archaeological stuff - how do you approach excavation, what are the ethics, case studies, etc - but also a LOT of more general anth stuff about funerary practices/beliefs. After all, it's the living who choose how the dead are buried. :D

And that was me, not logged in.

♥ You're back! I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you post in a while, and I was getting worried... Even though you probably mentioned something about being gone for a while and I forgot about it.

Anyway YAY you're back! *hugs*

I am still insanely jealous that your school has anth of food. I'm in physical anth this semester, but still at CCBC, so now I get the added joy of freshly graduated high-school classmates. >.<

Seriously, these kids prattle on about the inanest things. Some are in both my anth class and my soc class this semester. There was a ten minute conversation about fake ids and things that make you headdesk to hear from 17 year olds.

Like complaining about the class. On the first day. When we've NOT. DONE.ANYTHING. YET. Can it be time for me to transfer and take upper level courses where, you know, people want to be there? (I wanna do my internship already. I may be able to do it at the FREAKING SMITHSONIAN. :D)

I wish I knew the majors of folks taking the physical anth class--there are only a few of us whom I am certain are anth majors, because they were in my cultural anth class. I can't imagine many folks just taking it to fill an elective. It's a pretty particular course.

(Upside--in doing the bit where the teacher goes 'make a list of what separates humans from other animals BUT HA see evidence that others show these traits too', she showed a clip about Paul the Psychic Octopus. I freaking love this anth teacher. I wish she was not our only anthroplogist, because she doesn't like linguistics and I would kill for a linguistic anth class jesus)

*hugs* You shall get there, to those upper levels! Luckily, at Kenyon, even our intros are fun. We do actually still get people who don't really want to be there, as we have a social science diversification requirement. But yeah, they don't show up in 200+ level classes.
