Posted by Kelly M | 07/07/2013, 9:07 AMMy pleasure! It is always good to learn and your site is making me do just that!
Posted by These Bones Of Mine | 10/07/2013, 1:25 AMThen my work here is done.
Part of the reason I created this blog was to learn more about archaeology, how it’s perceived in popular culture and how games (specifically, the Tomb Raider games) can be used for educational purposes and public outreach. I normally have to research a lot of the artefacts and cultures I write about since I’m not an archaeologist myself, just an enthusiast, so I’m not familiar with certain cultures or terms. It’s a huge learning process for me so I hope I can inspire others to follow suit. ^_^
