Archaeology Blog #1
July 16, 2015 My writer that I decided to do a blog report on is Heather Pringle. She is a well rounded science author who loves to study archaeology. She's categorize as an archaeology specialist she grew up in Edmonton Alberta and she was raised into playing hockey her father was a professional hockey player but unfortunately she didn't like the game of hockey she might be the only person in Canada that doesn't worship the game of hockey. Before she was passionate about writing she was a furniture polisher, summons server , server where she worked overtime I might add, waitress, a museum researcher and also a book editor. She began as a freelance writer when she moved to Vancouver
Her blogs can be found at http://heatherpringle.com/ . Her blogs are written in the manner of that of popular beliefs but she puts her own perspective on the topic. The intended audience for her blogs are for anyone who's trying to pursue an education in Archaeology or just anyone trying to learn something new about humans. I don't think her blogs are persuasive in anyway she's basically giving you background knowledge on certain topics in Archaeology. She mostly critique and review important articles or findings.The first topic or blog I'm going to discuss is that of “On the Run in Brazil” Posted on July 12 ,2015. This blog is based on the misconceptions that brazilian officials take care of the native tribes but they actually don't based on the finding and the many researchers and the many researches they conducted. This blog talks about tribe people and Heather discuss that to wheedle secluded Amazonian tribes into contact in the mid twentieth century, Brazilian ministers and government authorities planted gardens and tied metal instruments and pots to clotheslines. At that point they let the tribes take the sustenance and products as required.
And by reading this blog it shined a light on the corruption and lies most government around the world tell. The next blog I'll be talking about is titled “Unplundered” by Heather and this was posted to her website on July 12, 2015. By the look of this blog I can hazard a guess that it will be about mummies and tomb of some sort. When i pull the full article it was titled “ Peru’s Royal Wari Tomb” before i even started reading the blog it had a picture of a hand and it caption read Untouched followed by this quote “ Grave robbers plundered this ancient peruvian site for decades. But they missed one royal tomb , hidden more than 1,000 years ago” . Heather starts of by talking about how in the days lights that's on the Peruvian coast neighbours homegrown archaeologist Milosz Giersz and Roberto Pimental Nita unravel a small closed chambers near the opening of an ancient long tomb. In three years of surveying this site called El Castillo de Huarmey Giersz the main archaeologist has ran upon a chain of death from piles on top of piles of insect that are fed upon past human flesh to snakes that died at the bottom of ceramics
