MOTEL OF THE MYSTERIES by David Macaulay

a glimpse into the text: “Roots of Civilization” link

According to the University of Missouri’s Museum of Anthropology, an ARTIFACT is “[a] portable object used, modified, or made by humans, such as a tool, weapon, or ornament. Location is often important to understanding how the artifact was used.”

POTENTIAL BIG IDEAS Community / society / culture Story Discovery Representation

POTENTIAL ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS How do ARTIFACTS shape culture as well as reflect a culture? What can ARTIFACTS tell us about a culture or society?

Sarah Parcak: “Archeology from Space” on TED link

THE WAY OF THE SHOVEL: ART AS ARCHAEOLOGY “The exhibition is arranged according to several CONCEPTUAL UNDERPINNINGS. In the first strand, archaeology is considered metaphorically, with an emphasis on art that takes the form of HISTORICAL... RESEARCH. Most of this work is photographic in nature, much of it moving- image based, and explores art’s documentary powers.... In the second strand, archaeology is considered more literally, in works that question the RELATIONSHIP between matter (stuff, things) and historical truth.” MCA Chicago
