Shipwreck Artifacts
We have finally found some artifacts from the shipwreck. It was hardly a problem since there was three shipwrecks. We found at least 60 artifacts from the shipwreck which is impressive. These ships were from the spanish, probably transporting goods and people. However, we found musket pieces. Muskets are old and are rare to find. Plus, the musket found was traced back to Canada, which is where it came from. We found some dishes and ceramic cups, which came from the past. Also, there was clothing and and even toothbrushes. All of these are amazing because they are from the past. I feel amazed and grateful for finding these artifacts.

    When considering cultures in collision a museum is a fine example of a clash of positives and negatives. This can be a troubling idea for the curators and visitors of museums because their collective pursuit of further cultural knowledge is often pure. However, in constructing a museum more often than not items of important significance are transplanted from their original location to be viewed and studied by a foreign people in a foreign land. The concept of the “rightful owners” of history and artifacts is a complicated one that leads to many cultural collisions. This is because multiple cultures often lay claim to the same artifacts leading to conflict among the claimants. With all of these ideas in mind the process of selecting a piece of art from the Cornell Fine Arts Museum for analysis became far more difficult. In examining the thought-provoking piece Lonesome George by Juan Travieso a warning message is telegraphed loud and clear.…

    One, two, three, four the regions of origin want no more. In the article “Who Owns the Past” by Joyce Mortimer talks about how some of the artifacts were made for certain people; museums own them now and many people are trying to get the artifacts back. The region of origin should get their artifacts back because it was theirs in the first place and some of the artifacts were very personal to some people. Artifacts should be given back to the regions of origin. In the article “Who Owns the Past” in passage one, paragraph four, sentence three, states ‘’Some museums have objects that were made for private Native American religious ceremonies and were never meant to be seen by the public.”…

    Charred wood from this feature was radiocarbon dated to sometime between 2010 B.C. and 1850 B.C. (more on this below). It had also been suggested that there may be a house foundation somewhere on the site which would more than likely date to the historic past (Wiegand, personal communication, 2002), and about 75 artifacts from the late 18th and 19th centuries, such as nails, redware, saltglazed stoneware, whiteware, and glass, most of which were found in the top 20 cm of soil, may support the idea that there was definitely such a structure on the site. But these analyses are not included in this report; we are more interested in what happened…

    In the "case of the shipwrecked sailors", three men were marooned after the sinking of an oil tanker. Subject to extreme conditions and starvation, the men drew lots after about twenty five days and decided that the loser would be killed and eaten as food. When one of the men lost the draw, he pulled out his consent, and the other two men killed him anyway, eating him. Five days later, the remaining two men were rescued and ensuing actions incurred their murder charges. This seems to be a simple case over the battle of life and death, and it truly is. The two men, Dudley and Stephens, made a conscious decision to commit not only the crime of murder, but the atrocity of cannibalism. Crime is crime and law is law- when breaks a law and commits a crime, a punishment must ensue.…

Archaeologists figure it is likely that these pre-Clovis people killed and ate much of the mastodon, and left behind the man made knife and it’s carcass. The dating…

    The visual artifact I choose to rhetorically analyze is the "super racist" Red Cross safety poster. This visual artifact was introduced into the mainstream media on June 27, 2016, after it spread throughout Twitter and sparked for being racist. The goal of this poster was to introduce pool/swimming safety to children across the nation. The poster was posted in two Colorado pools in Salida and Fort Morgan. This poster displayed safe and unsafe actions of children playing in the pool, titled "be cool, follow the rules". Why was this poster considered racist? The poster separated "not cool" and "cool" actions of children playing properly around the pool and children misbehaving. Most of the children playing properly were children of the white…

    The products of Europe fascinated the Indians. The early observer Thomas Harriot noticed that such everyday things as compasses, magnets, burning glasses, and clocks seemed to them "rather the works of gods than of men." More understandable things like knives, hatchets, and even fishhooks made of metal were beyond price to a people whose own technology was still in the Stone Age.…
