Introduction to Archaeology,

There's several piles of journals at the front of the classroom.

"A different sort of public archaeology involves journals," Daniel explains to his class. "Some are obviously more academic than others.

Today, I'd like for you to look through the journals I've brought along and find an article you like. Then, explain to the class what it's about and why you chose that.

If you don't like any of the options here, then you can head to the library and see what they've got there."

I'm here for any questions.


[[ooc: Sorry for the lateness/poorness of the class today. I was in bed all morning with a bad head, and I've been headachey all day]]

"Really? Thank you," Molly said enthusiastically as she accepted the gift. "This is so cool, Pippi!" She giggled. "Funny too because last week in Paleontology we had to try to dig fossils out of rocks and I broke mine in half. This will be good practice for me." She gave Pippi a bright smile.

"Hey Blair, this is for you (http://www.smithsonianstore.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12240&categoryId=3212&parentCategoryId=3212)! You missed all kinds of fun at the gift shop!"

Blair grinned. "Awww, Pippi! This is awesome! I didn't even see the gift shop. What a bummer."

"Walter and I went a little nuts in there. It had waaaay to much cool stuff." She grinned.

"If figured since we're in a class that involves digging stuff up it would be cool. And I also figured you'd like the crystals and things in this one."

Pippi comes into the classroom and signs in.

She has 3 boxes from her trip to the Smithsonian with her.

one for Blair (http://www.smithsonianstore.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12240&categoryId=3212&parentCategoryId=3212).

one for Molly (http://www.smithsonianstore.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12244&categoryId=3212&parentCategoryId=3212).

And one one for herself (http://www.smithsonianstore.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12245&categoryId=3212&parentCategoryId=3212).

Blair grinned and attacked the journals happily. "Do you think there's anything about Sentinels in these?"

"I'm afraid it's been a while since I've looked through these in any detail, so I can't tell you," Daniel apologized. "However, there should be a range of items in them."

Pippi held up her box from the Smithsonian Gift Shop (http://www.smithsonianstore.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=12245&categoryId=3212&parentCategoryId=3212).

"Can we get some extra credit? The box says we need 'adult supervision'..."

Grin.

Daniel laughed. "I'm honored that you'd consider me to be adult supervision," he said. "And I think they certainly deserve some extra credit."

Pippi excitendly clapped her hands.

"Huzzah! Shall we document our first endeavors at excavation or would you like to oversee our efforts in a future class?"

"How about after the journal presentations in Thursday's class?" Daniel suggested.

"Well, I could offer you office time tomorrow apart from the fact that it's already Thursday now," Daniel suggested.

Pippi laughed.

"It's just an expresion Dr. Jackson." she said, "It means that I am excited."

Daniel blushed, and grinned slightly sheepishly. "There's a reason I'm better with artifacts than with people," he said.

After class
