For
many people the film Raiders of the Lost Ark provides an
entertaining view of the practice of archaeology. For this assignment
students will be responsible for viewing and critiquing the film
Raiders of the Lost Ark. As part of this students will
be required to address the following questions. In what ways is
the movie consistent, or inconsistent with the goals, methods, and
practice of mainstream archaeology as exemplified by university
and museum research? In what ways does this film further expand
traditional interpretations of archaeology? In what ways does it
challenge and expand upon the public's understanding of archaeology?
How does it stereotype archaeology as a profession, archaeologists
as individuals, and archaeological research? In this light, what
are the positive and negative aspects to this film? After viewing
the film, and determining group membership, student groups will
be required to develop a two page, single-spaced, overview of the
film from the perspective of what does this tell us about the view
of the general public about the practice of archaeology. This work
must provide concrete examples, draw upon four examples beyond the
class textbook and follow the referencing system employed in this
class. Student groups will be responsible for posting their essays
on the Myths and Facts web page.
