New extra credit opportunity
A variety of bioarchaeological terms
are still undefined in wikipedia.org. The beauty of
wikipedia is that anyone can add an article or contribute to a stub. The
following articles either need to be written or could use some beefing up:
MNI
(minimum number of individuals),
palaeopathology,
zooarchaeology,
biodistance
(biological distance), palaeozoology, MSM
(musculoskeletal markers), ossuary (as used in terms of
Native American archaeology), collective
burial. If you decide to write a wiki entry, make sure to cite your
sources and check out the wiki help page for creating an account to edit
entries. You may work with one or two other students on this if you wish.
Let me know that you are planning to write a wiki article so that I can
review it and give you the extra credit points. This assignment will be
worth 3 extra credit points on your discussion grade.
Some of your classmates have already written the following articles.
