I used to hate doing research and reading long articles, but I've been really enjoying it the last couple of days. I'm preparing my research for my Honors Anthropology project and I have found some pretty neat articles.

The current one I'm reading is about how video gamers have better cognitive processes than non-gamers do.

I wish I found this article when I first started playing so I could have convinced my mom to let me play more lol.

Anywaaaaaays....

If anyone is interested in some neat articles about video games, let me know and I will share the links

Anyways! Knocking out some human geography notes between classes

Studyblr list

Hi everyone

I would like to make a lists of beginning/small studyblrs.  Reblog this post with the tag #listofsmallstudyblrs if you want to be a part of the list. Add in the tag what your general field is (like STEM or langblr etc) I’m only going to make it if there is enough respons because its no use if there are 5 of them.

Today I found this little guy on the floor outside my Anthro class. I didn't want him to get smushed so I decided to bring him home.

My fall break has officially begun!

Four weeks from today the semester ends. It's going so fast! And I still have so much to do!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe fall break!

Recently I went on a mini vacation to Seattle Washington. On the trip, I went to the Art Museum and I thought I would share with you all some of the cultural art that stuck out to me. 

If you ever get the chance to go to Seattle, I highly recommend visiting this museum. It is absolutely amazing!

Beneath each picture, I have added info about them from the museum.

Turban Cloths

Cotton with brocade border - Jodhpur 20th Century

Mehrangarh Museum Trust

Men chose their turbans carefully - a wrapped headdress is said to be akin to an unspoken language. Each social group in Marwar has a distinctive style of tying the long cloth and might add accents with ornaments that say more about who they are. Men also wear turbans for specific seasons, ceremonies, or moods. The wave pattern seen here is worn during the monsoon season, when the coming of rain is celebrated. In the harsh summer months, a turban is a shield against the blazing heat. It can also be a form of protection in battle. Many rulers wear turbans that are like crowns, loaded with jewels, which denote their rank in court society.

Masks of the Animal Kingdon Dance

Performances featuring masked dancers are the birthright of particular families and derive from long-ago auspicious encounters between human ancestors and supernatural beings, in the guise of animals or unique spirits. The “Dance of the animal kingdom” represents a heroine ancestor’s adventures among the animal beings who in turn bestow the dance and masks upon her for use by her family and subsequent generations.

Drum with skull painting - 1991

Animal hide, acrylic, wood, bone

The First People

Red cedar, yellow cedar

Art by: Susan Point - Musqueam band

The homelands of the Musqueam of the Fraser River Delta are punctuated by meandering pathways as the Fraser reaches the Strait of Georgia. The faces within the tendrils represent the hereditary bloodlines that connect the families in the region, and the waterways that were lifelines yielding food resources, sustaining the Delta people from time immemorial.

Food bowl: Frigate bird with shark - 20th century

wood, mother-of-pearl shell

Melanesian, Eastern Solomon

Men in the Solomon Islands consider fishing or skipjack bonito (a member of the tuna family) to be a sacred endeavor. The fishermen watch for frigate birds feeding off of schools of smaller bait fish and observe the bonito that follow, in a season that lasts from November to April. Sharks swarm this whirlpool of frothy activity and devour what they need to survive. This vessel features two predatory creatures merging together to suggest the cycle of consumption, with the humans who eventually feast on the bowl’s contents completing the cycle.

Pyramidion of Hori - 1350 B.C

Limestone, pigment

Egyptian, Abu Tig. New Kingdom

18th Dynasty

My Cultural Anthropology Professor shared this with our class today, so I thought I would share with you guys.

We were talking about silent language today and how some gestures we (Americans) used may not be carried out in the same context in other countries.

Learning about Subsistence Patterns and all the different ways cultures get (or have gotten) their food, and thought I would share a little.

This table shows some features of the major food-procurements. I thinks it's interesting that the more a culture relies on industrialized agriculture, the more separation of class becomes a part of that culture.

This is a map of known Hunter-gatherers throughout history. I wish this map also stated which were nomadic or semi-nomadic.
