This essay will look at non-invasive techniques against invasive archaeological techniques to study the human past in the Somerset farmland. Non-invasive techniques can usual be split into 2 main categories, geo-physical/chemical and non geo-physical/chemical which includes field walking and other techniques. Aerial photography has made one of the biggest contributions to archeological fieldwork and recording (Greene and Moore, 2010,63).
Assess the issues in relation to the conservation of Pompeii and Herculaneum Since Pompeii’s discovery in 1748 and Herculaneum’s discovery in 1738 both towns have been subject to almost every technology trend in the science of archaeology to discover its secrets and also to aid in its conservation. The two sites have been under the control of many different archaeologists and men over time including the King of Naples, Charles of Bourbon, Karl Weber who directed the first proper excavations and also Fiorelli who is probably the most famous. Since the towns were discovered they have faced many issues in relation to conservation of the site, the most notable and controversial being the Villa of the papyri. The towns have been described by many to be ‘dying their second death’ – see source A Both sites are faced with deterioration from both the natural environment and human impacts. This includes exposure to light, pollution, weathering, erosion, and people walking through the sites, treasure hunters and vandalism.

I understand that one of my tasks as a folklorist is to add to the archeological-historical record, to get into history people, events, and objects that may not otherwise make it into such accounts. By getting Lou Trahan’s development of a new Mardi Gras mask-making tradition into history, I am also hoping to transform, albeit slowly, the nature of history. As my teacher, and later friend, Henry Glassie is fond of pointing out: getting funky old buildings or cool new inventions like self-crawling crawfish boats into history, be it conventional history or art history, with the addition of an adjective like “folk” isn’t our goal. Remaking (art) history such that it includes those objects and the people who made them by definition
Prospect Cemetery To be honest, before taking this class I never knew that the prospect cemetery existed. It was after our trip, that I came to a better understanding to who were half the blocks in my neighborhood named after. Common names such as Sutphin, Van Wyck, Baisley, Brinkerhoff, and many more.

I have had time to talk to Mike Bondoni: The Grounds Supervisor here at Mount Union College and I have interviewed him on the things he knew about the grounds of our college. I have also spent many hours in KHIC learning more about the college we all attend but really know little about. Mount Union has a variety of buildings and scenery that make it a unique place for a college experience. I have recently learned some interesting facts and history behind the buildings, lake, and the grounds that I would like to share with you today.
Terrenc Why I enrolled in JROTC I originally enrolled in JROTC because I wanted to try something new in high school. I did research to find out what the program was about. Once I completed my research I found out a lot of information that tell what JROTC is. I also talked to family members that were once a part of JROTC and found out more things that online research does not list. There really were no cons about JROTC.
