Happy New Year

A terrific 2007 to everyone - I hope that it is a GREAT one.
Video: Excavating Television
To raise a New Year smile: "In this personal-voice and very witty short film by University of Southern California student Amy Ramsey, the archaeologist/filmmaker explores what the public knows, and often misconstrues, about her field of study. She interviews people and finds out that they often have inaccurate perceptions about archaeology. She concludes that the media are largely responsible for misleading people about archaeology and urges her audience to be a bit skeptical about archaeology stories they see and hear through media sources."
Windows Media Player or RealPlayer required.

Of general archaeological interest, but headed by the discovery and excavation of KV63 in the Valley of the Kings.
