I have two archaeology exams, one I like to call sociology with dead things and the other is the Indy lessons with less adventure and excitement or general interest at all. Kind of like if the films were just him filling in paperwork.
Past papers for the first one are a series of questions. I must answer two tomorrow. The questions are generally a mix of the following:
Archaeology is a form of destruction. How should we preserve what we discover?
Is there a present bias when we look at the past?
Neanderthals, what's up with them?
People don't seem all that interested in heritage. How would you make it more interesting.
You've just dug up a famous figure's corpse. What now?
Darn those metal detectors! Discuss.
Do you ever stop and think academia is the most ridiculous way of accessing how intelligent a person is? I mean I'm sitting at an A in sociology with dead things for saying 'man, that church is old, we should make it into something new' and 'I don't think this website on vikings is reliable because the font is comic sans'. I got a B in the practicals for saying 'prehistory sure is old'. Oh it is insane, insane, insane.
