Friends and colleagues: Sometimes it helps to ask why we do what we do.  And 
those of us who've been around for a while can benefit from a fresh 
perspective, such as you will see in What Is Archaeology?, the latest video 
feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel 
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

With scenes from 2006 fieldwork in central Washington state and an original 
musical accompaniment, archaeologist Faith Haney offers her personal 
interpretation of archaeology.  Haney created this video as a Career Day 
exhibit for Middle School students and in the process captured key insights 
about the values and purposes of archaeology.  Although not intended to 
represent archaeology in all its worldwide manifestations or to speak for 
archaeologists everywhere, this video gives valid answers to some 
often-asked questions.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We 
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership 
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting 
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your 
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and 
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we 
reach out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested and let us know 
if you wish to be removed from our mailing list.
