March 10th Blog Prompt

In order for our wee 3 person group, consisting of a mountain, a little c-diddying, and myself (a guinea pig farmer?!), I searched for a website to compare our current project to.  The three of us are exploring the topic of Inca child sacrifice - a slightly morbid topic, but a topic that is very suitable for the group of Cadavers Inc. who also enjoy interpretive expression to share ideas and stories... sadly this is too hard to show via blogging, so I'll use written comments instead today...


My website of comparison, is wonderful site for guidance and examination.  The topic of my chosen site is based on a news article about 3 frozen Inca child mummies from the high elevation site of Mount Llullaillaco.  My chosen website uses this news article as their basis of discussion, however the website quotes the article word for word for the most part - a problematic aspect since plagiarism is a bit of an issue.  The website, itself, has pictures of a mummy between some of the paragraphs, something that I think can draw in the reader and thus be useful in our own website.  Another thing this website has, is a section for comments. There is quite a mix of comments posted, but some fairly useless or even inappropriate ones.  I'm not sure comments would be good for our project's website, but it can bring in an interesting potential for further analysis and dialogue.  

In the meantime, since I know we all have lots of free time, here's another website and video with more information on the topic of Inca child sacrifice!

--> video on the documentry discussed in the above website

The documentary is an example of another way to share archaeological findings and research to the general public.
