...Kathleen Kenyon was an influential British archaeologist whose legacy still lives on today. She was born on January 5th, 1906 in London. She spent most of her early years in the West London area. Kenyon was first introduced to archaeology in Oxford University and later became the first female president of the Oxford Archaeological Society. But she didn’t stop there. After graduation, she participated at a site in Zimbabwe with her father and Gertrude Caton-Thompson then an excavation at Roman Verulamium, or modern day St. Albans with Mortimer Wheeler and his staff. Later on, when Kenyon had much more experience, she was invited to review John Garstang’s findings from the ancient city, Jericho. Garstang’s goal was to find archeological proof...

...reviewed by Koreans to help develop their ethical codes. The stories of The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and the Kennewick Man further emphasize three points for biological anthropologists and other professionals working with human remains: First, to be thoughtful about potential ethical issues related to their research, second to be inclusive and encourage the involvement of the community villagers, and last to be respectful of different worldviews of death between (sub)cultures. NAGPRA, and the Kennewick man both demonstrate the difficulty in anticipating ethical issues and unintended misconduct in the course of research. “NAGPRA is an organization that represents a culmination of ethical efforts of U.S. biological anthropologists, archaeologists, museum professionals, Native Americans and the federal legislative body to protect, preserve and return human remains and funerary objects that are affiliated to Native Americans” (Kim et al., 2014). The organization was first founded as a means to help subdue the battle between who can claim the human remains found in American soil, the westerners or the native people. Thus shifting the matter from being an “ethical imperative to a legal mandate” (Kim et al., 2014). Shortly after guidelines were set in 1996 the Kennewick Man appears. The Kennewick Man serves an importance to NAGPRA because the remains of 5 ancestors could not be affiliated with any of the existing federally recognized Native American...

...Theory of Knowledge Essay Eric Sheldon 4-25-13 Kennewick High School “It is more important to discover new ways of thinking about what is already known than to discover new data or facts.” To what extent would you agree with this claim? Before one can agree or disagree with the above statement, a few terms must be defined. “New ways of thinking” is thinking from a point of view that has not been considered previously, or an unproven idea. For the purpose of this essay, “facts” and “data” will be defined as: a series of empirical evidence, or a proven idea. I think that new ways of thinking and the discovery of new data and facts are equally important. If no one ever thought differently than the currently accepted way of thinking, than nothing new would ever be discovered. They are each no more and no less important than one other because, one cannot exist without the other. If one cannot exist without the other than their symbiotic relationship makes both equally important. It could be argued that discovering new ways of thinking is more important than the discovery of new data and facts. Someone arguing this point may make the point that many useful inventions that we (humans) have today come from an inventor who dared to step outside the norm, and look at a problem differently. One example of an invention is the nuclear reactor. Nuclear power would not exist today if no one had considered fission as a source of energy. Someone who disagrees...
