Back on the first day of class Erin (prof) made it clear
that she wishes to make archaeology more accessible to the masses, including
individuals who do not have any academic experience in archaeology. I happen to
agree with what Erin is trying to accomplish. To help bring archaeological
topics to the greater public the class was divided into groups and we were
assigned to present a case study through an online format.
I was one of three group members who made up the Scottish
Burial Chamber case study group. And today I get to say that our website is officially
done! You have no idea how happy I am that the website is live for everyone to
see. The website is www.scotlandcairns.weebly.com
and please go and look at it I am really proud of what we did.
Out of all of the projects that I have done in my
undergrad studies, I think this is one of my favorites. By working on this
project I have learned more than had I written an essay. We formatted out
website with the knowledge that not everyone visiting our website would have
the same academic background as we do. This changed how we wrote and the length
of our site descriptions. As a group we made a conscious effort to incorporate
aspects of lecture information onto the website, such as the database we were
first introduced to at the beginning of the semester.
Please go to our website. Enjoy what we have created. And
educate yourself about Scottish burial cairns.
