    Bluestone states that preservation has roots in people’s attachments to places in their society (Bluestone, 14). The public's memory and attachment to a place have an impact on the preservation of a cultural landscape or historic site. Bluestone and Wallace highlight how the tool of preservation can be a tool of destruction and how the public’s idea of cultural landscapes has changed over time. Hayden points out the relationship between memory and landscapes, including how a society becomes attached to these sites. The overall theme of the readings is the attachment that society holds to these sites and the connection that this has with the conservation of these landscapes.…

    Agency Theory in Archaeology Contemporary archaeological inquiry has situated itself under the umbrella of anthropology, an open marriage to many different ways of analyzing material culture; as it gives insight to both the physical world, as well as the social-cultural world. In this paper, I will discuss some of the beginnings to this union, and specifically the theory of agency as it relates to archaeological analysis. I enter into the debate among archaeology scholars by proposing that the theory of agency is a useful paradigm to the analysis of material culture, and adds a dimension beyond the artifacts of the past themselves - deepening the analysis and understanding. It is apparent after many years of the development of archeological…

    The Egyptians practiced the art of mummifying their dead for 3,000 years or more in the belief that the soul would be reunited with the body in the afterlife, so the body had to be kept intact. A mummy is a dead body in which some of the soft tissue has been preserved along with the bones. Usually this means it was specially embalmed or preserved for burial, but sometimes natural conditions alone freeze, dry out, or otherwise prevent the body from decaying by inhibiting the growth of microbes. The most carefully prepared Egyptian mummies date from about 1000 B.C., but the earliest ones discovered are much older. Sacred animals, such as cats and crocodiles, were also mummified.…
