Friends and colleagues: In the most recent installment of the Video News
from TAC, you’ll see battlefield archaeology in Belgium, hear about a
rediscovered language in Peru, and observe how Maya hieroglyphs are written. See
these stories in the November 2011 edition of this monthly half-hour show,
available now on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology
Channel (_http://www.archaeologychannel.org_
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org) ) as well as on cable TV in cities across the US.
Launched in October 2010, the Video News from TAC is designed for both
online streaming and cable TV distribution. Other subjects covered so far in
the series include a tour of Thailand’s cultural heritage; an interview with
Dr. Tom King; preserving the first Moon base; the indigenous people of
Taiwan; a joint Hopi Tribe-USDA Forest Service effort to save ancient rock art
panels; archaeologists and natives learning from each other on a
Polynesian island; recording cultural heritage on the Thames River in London;
ongoing excavations at a long-inhabited site in Jordan; a tour of Classical sites
in Italy; a video tribute to Dr. Donny George; the Terracotta Army exhibit
at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; the disappearing hutong neighborhoods
of Beijing; a Native American man rediscovering an ancient craft; the
changing waterscape of the London Olympics; vandalism on the walls of an Oregon
forest cave; the competitive results of TAC Festival 2011; the recovery of
a prehistoric dugout canoe in Florida; a discourse on the Mexican Day of
the Dead; Florida’s historic Fort Gadsden; the ongoing and instructive decay
of an abandoned Greek village; excavations in the Grand
Canyon, on the Polynesian island of Tubuai, and in the Persian Gulf nation
of Bahrain; the extensive underground world of Alexandria, Egypt; and the
