Help?! (1 Viewer)

[Scathach]

Hi, anybody I need some help. I was thinking of doing an archaeologist as my major piece of work for this year. But my problem is that I have no idea who to choose .
I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on who the hell I can do?

Hey. Not sure who would the best archaeologist to use, but remember that Extension History is primarily about historiography, so rather than writing about the archaeologists achievements, you'd be focusing upon interpretations of their work. In that sense, perhaps a 19th century archaeologist could work, with their vastly different methods?

i wouldn't suggest doing that alone-- your safest and richest (source & information wise) avenue would be to perhaps explore a particular event / issue within which archaeology as a practise or theory (ie Foucault's method of archaeology) can be evaluated in relation to historiography (your key questions / concepts & particular historians).

you could do even applied archaeology as an interpretation of history itself because it does differ from a number of historical perspectives.

Archaeology is a narrow topic within this course unless you are intent on comparing perspectives of different schools of thought.

Nah you don't have to analyse archaeological debates, you could analyse the validity of archaeology and the extent to which it can help form 'history' and its barriers
