Our request is to our colleagues to forward what they already use to meet
this need of explaining the difference between archaeology and looting.
(The SAA public web pages serve as a clearing house for information for our
publics and peers looking for useful resources.This is a topic we have had
requests for and are trying to fill this need.)
We have received several very good suggestions for readings on this subject
and some of the suggestions are also accompanied by lesson plans. But we
have also received new ideas such as this one involving the medium of comic
books and one by Tim Thompson for an illustration (photographic rich)
approach (as opposed to text) which explains archaeology vs. looting to
non-readers.
I am wondering if, as a body of professional practioners, there has been a
need identified that is not currently met -- i.e., audiences our current
materials do not reach -- as well as new possibilities for information and
education emerging from new technology interfaces.
In either case, I hope talented and enterprising colleagues will take note
and produce non-traditional materials on this topic (and let the web pages
clearing house know about their existence once they are created).
