Background<\/strong>: The purpose of this assignment is to practice vetting claims about archaeology in popular media outlets and to differentiate information presented in popular versus scholarly <\/span><\/p>\n

sources. You will pretend to be a science editor for a popular news magazine featuring a new <\/span><\/div>\n
piece an archaeological discovery in your magazine. Although you want to impress your <\/span><\/div>\n
readers, your magazine must maintain its reputation for publishing accurate, scientifically <\/span><\/div>\n
supported claims. <\/span><\/p>\n
For this assignment, you will locate an interesting story from a popular news source, <\/span><\/span>locate the <\/span><\/p>\n
original research study on which the article is based, and conduct a guided comparison of the <\/span><\/div>\n
two to vet the scientific validity of the news reporting.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Browse the internet or library for an interesting report of an archaeological discovery in a <\/span><\/div>\n
popular news outlet. You may use a story you\u2019ve heard about previously or Google <\/span><\/div>\n
“archaeological discovery” or \u201carchaeology science news\u201d for some ideas. <\/span><\/span>Be sure to choose a <\/strong><\/div>\n
story that references an original research study.<\/strong> <\/span>Look for a phrase such as “According to a <\/span><\/div>\n
study…”.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A search for ‘archaeology <\/span>news<\/span>‘ or ‘archaeology science <\/span>news<\/span>‘ should bring up many options. <\/span><\/div>\n
Websites such as LiveScience <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/span>(<\/span>https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/topics\/archaeology<\/span><\/a>) and ScienceDaily (<\/span>https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/news<\/span>\/fossils_ruins\/archaeology\/<\/span><\/a>) should have many good options.<\/span><\/p>\n
