Ben Colburn's Field...Due Tuesday, 22 September 2009 by 8:00 Discussion
Site reports are the initial forms of output following excavations, and often act as an important reference for other archaeologists working within similar sites, geographical areas, or environments. The way in which site reports organize, present, and communicate archaeological data reflects the archaeologist's fieldwork and how the site and materials are understood in perpetuity.
In your response critically examine the two site reports assigned for Week 2 reading. How did the authors present and organize their information? As an archaeologist, is the data clear, useful, and comprehensive to you? Is anything missing or can anything be improved?
Now think about the site report, or 'output', for the John Brown House. In what form(s) would you like to see the data presented? How would you structure your site report? Be as creative as you like with your responses!
