Archaeology is a uniquely visual discipline. This course is an introductory level film-based consideration of archaeology and archaeologists. Various films, ranging from the 1920s to the present, are viewed, discussed and critiqued. How archaeology portrayed in visual media through time, and how have media affected archaeology, the human past and popular culture? The romanticized image of archaeology will be compared with scientific and ethical realities. Contact instructor Jack Rossen for more info (jrossen@ithaca.edu).
