Tecnoloy and archaeology

I have never been a tech girl, indeed I hate all about tecnology and pc`s…but when I entered to archaeology I had learning a lot the technological tools.There are many usefull tools in the archaeology, and it is using by the archaologists in differents contexts. For example, when we must go to fieldwork we need to know where are we…in these case, we used the GPS.
We had a subject where the teacher touch us to use different tools for the fieldwork…some of this tools are: the GPS and the “station”; besides we learned to use some computers programs. Really, I did not learn so much, because I needed to know math and many strangers things xD…so I suffered in this subject. Using the programs computers in general is easy…but when I need to make calculations…I am the worse!!!! I think that I only learned “to read” maps in this subject (it calls SIG: Geographical Information System), but it could be worse.
On the other hand, the GPS is a nice tool. It is very simple and you do not need to know a lot of tecnology, and some cases it is easier that a cell phone. This machine indicated the coordenates in that you localized, so it is very important…and I learned that I never must forget to load its batteries or forget it (I said that, because I lost in a fieldwork and it was horrible!).
Well, despite that I hate the technological tools, I must admit that it is very importants in my discipline (and all the works). Because it helps to do our work safely, besides we can obtain more information of the archaeology record when we used this technological advances. In this sense, in the archaeology the tecnology has been uil for knowing more about our past.
Finally, I want to suggest to all the people that they like the archaeology that they need to keep up with the technological tools and computer programs. But, they must not worry if they do not understand about this things, because they always can learn. In all the careers there are technological progress every day…the important is that we do not stop learning.

this's halloween, this's halloween...everybody screams!!!!!!!!! =D

Hi!!!, I am going to speak you about Halloween, that is my favourite celebration. Halloween is a celt festivity celebrates 31th october, and it is new year of this culture.
The irish people passed on this tradition to United States in 1840.But, above not means that it celebrated of this momento, Halloween is a very antiquity festivity that the people celebrates this festivity since a lot of time,
During night’s Halloween the children uses costumes and they go out and ask candies. When the children ask for candies the says: “treak or treating”. Today all the people celebrates this party (in all the world xD)…the adults use costumes too and they go to parties, but they do not ask for candies…
On the other hand, the goth people enjoys Halloween too. I think that it happens because they like the black colour and the terror xDD…well, this is a bias, but I want to say that Halloween is soooo veery popular!!! (who do not like the candies? xD)
I like Halloween because I love the celt cultura their worldview is nice =)!. Besides I like use costumes!!, it is very funny and Halloween is a great excuse =D!
When I was a Little girl I never celebrated Halloween, because my parents thought that we must not to celebrate because it was not a chilean tradition. Then I grow up, and I began to go to parties’s Halloween =P, and today I still celebrate this festivity…the last year I went to a party in a “Club Hipico”, but it was not funny =(.
This year I did not to go to some place because I must to do my homeworks, and I was very angry!!!… we can not get fun all the time! =(
Well, I hope that you enjoyed Halloween!! (not like me xD).

I wanna be a hunter-gatherer =)

The notice that I choose, speaks us about the hunter-gatherer’s style life. According to the author, these populations lived in Europe before 6000 years ago (and I must add that in some places still are hunters-gatherers as Amazonas). In the notice we can read some features of this kind of population as its “love” of free- living, and the respect that this persons had (and has) for the environment =).
Besides, the author speaks about of the resulting changes of leaving this style-life. When the hunters-gatherers incorporated the agriculture they missed their mobility. For this reason the humans began to have more diseases, and the population concentrated in small places…this is the first step for the beginning of the pollution ¬¬ (because the trash began to accumulate and this type of things). Obviously these things not affected them immediately (well, this changes transformed the population’s culture and worldview), but today we can see the consequences of the horrible act to incorporate the agriculture xD. I have always thinked that the humans became farmers was the worst thing that it could occur (it was the bad seed xD), because whit this the differences between the humans increased…and then appeared the social classes and all the history that we know =P. I do not say that the hunters-gatherers do not have differences between them, there are different roles but not in the same manner as we understand…
I consider important this notice, because the author shows a way that archaeology can be useful for the present people not only in scientific aspect. The author calls to pay attention in like this population cared the environment and respected the other living beings =).

See you!

Suni around the world =)

Hi!, today I am going to speak you about my hobby!
Well, there are many things that I like to do as reading a good book, listening and playing music (rock, jazz, blues and more =P), making sport and other things, but if I must choose I think that my hobby is to travel. I do not know if to travel is a hobby, but it is something that I really enjoy and I do it when I have free time =P.
Traveling is something that I do every now and then, because I study archaeology so I need to go to field work…that is so good, because I work and I practice my hobby in at same time xD (many persons could envy me xD). On that side, when I go to field work, I do not need many things...I have my backpack (and the energy xD), and I am ready =P.
When I go to travel in my free time, it is more complicated, because besides of my backpack and the energy, I need so much money!!!...the cash is always scarce in a student’s pocket so it is a great problem!!!, but I have the solutions in the hobby 1313!!! I pay for my trips with the field work =P…so I do not suffer xD.
Other thing that is important is whom to travel with…in general I make the trips with my cousin and other friends, but I do not have problems if I could do the trips with other persons…really, I enjoy more the journeys if I could do them with someone special =)…but, it is not possible for now =(.
Finally, I began to travel with my friends when I was fifteen (approximately)…since this age, I do not travel with my parents, because we have different tastes…and they do not like going on trips (as much as me) xD

Greetings!!!

Diving with whales =)

All the people think that my favorite pet is the cat, because before I liked to miaow…well I do not know if I liked it, but I used to do it =P. Even so, I think that the cats are pretty pets, they are loving…but they have a problem, sometimes the cats are treacherous and they can scratch and it hurts xD.
For these reasons there is another animal that I love, it is the whale!!!, but I do not like all the whales, my favorite is the blue whale =D, because there are other whales as the killer whale that is very aggressive. I think that the blue whale is so harmonious, when I see a blue whale swimming (in youtube xD) I feel so happy, but at the same time I want to cry. Besides when the blue whales submerged into the sea you can see their queues and this view is beautiful!!! Other things that I love about the blue whale are its songs; there are many studies about the whales’s song…some scientists think that it is a communication medium, and it is very moving =).
I have always wanted to see a blue whale, and I would like to go scubadiving with it =D, I think that would make me feel free, but I think that is not possible =( (for now xD). However I will travel to the south (someday =P) and I will be able to see many blue whales, and then I will be able to die happily =).

Welcome to Santiago!!(8)

Santiago is the Chile’s capital…it’s a noisy and polluted city xD, however it could be very funny. There are so many things that the tourists (and we also =P) can do for enjoying. If they want to go to parties they can go to the discotheques or pubs. If the tourists have cultural and intellectual interests they can visit many museums about history, art and archaeology of Chile. Besides there are many parks in Santiago, where the people can practice sport and other outdoor activities (if the foreigner tourists have respiratory diseases I do not suggest to practice sport in Santiago, because it has smock =P).
Well, my top five Santiago’s places to visit are:
First, I think that Santa Lucia hill is a cute place; it has many trees and different entertainments, the people visitors can “climb” to the peak, where there is a viewpoint (you can see everything Santiago from this place). Finally it has a Japanese Park that could be very romantic xD.
Second places that are necessary to know are the museums and the National Library. In these places always there are exhibitions very interesting about many topics.
If the foreigner tourists want to drink the better “earthquake” (a drink with pineapple ice cream) of Santiago, they must visit to “La Piojera”!!! it is a popular bar located near of Central Market, in this place they can have a good time with their friends.
In the fourth place, I think that before or after to go to “La Piojera” (the better option is after =P), any tourist must eat a seafood platter in the Central Market…there are different prices, but the most important is that the food is delicious!
Finally, the Parade Ground is a place interesting, because in front of it is Santiago’s Cathedral, Chile’s Post Headquarters and the Santiago’s Municipality. Besides in this place the tourist will see many pigeons xD!!

greetings!!!!

Let's go to Morrocoooo!!! =D

The country that I would like to visit is Morroco, because it always seems very nice. I have seen pictures and movies about Morroco, and the landscape is beautiful. I like the dunes and the desert, so I think that it is a good choice to visit. I do not know so much about Morroco –besides that it must be wonderful xD- but important information is that it is an Islamic country, and it is located in Africa xD.
Well, if I could visit Morroco I would visit the desert and of course I will try to know all about Morroco’s culture. I would like to go with somebody else =), because I want to make a long journey, and to make it alone must be boring =P.
I don’t know if I would like to live in Morroco, I think that I need to know it, because it’s not the same to stay in a place short time to live in this place =S. Despite the above, I think that working in Morroco as an archeologist must be fun, for this reason I don’t rule out the possibility xD.
Finally, I get excited with the idea!, I have always wanted to go to Morroco, and I hope that it happens soon xD!
