Friends and colleagues: One of the best and most enjoyable explanations of
archaeology for a lay audience that I've ever seen is the video, Signs of
Life, about archaeology in New Mexico.  This is the latest video offering on
our public education website, The Archaeology Channel
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

Produced with support from the New Mexico Historic Preservation Fund, this
is an engaging exploration of modern science applied to ancient times.  All
that's dry or dusty about this program are Robert A. Burns' shoes as he
leads the viewer through ancient ruins, ghost towns, forts, and museums as
well as high-tech laboratories across New Mexico.  This video explains why
archaeology is relevant and important not only to archaeologists, who use
remarkably clever techniques to tease out clues about the past, but also to
all people of today and in the future.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  If
you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please participate in our
Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.html) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported service.  We also welcome new content partners as we reach
out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
