Anthropology in the Web


The site of the anthropology department of UCL (University College of London) includes rich information about this discipline and his different areas: biological anthropology, material culture and social anthropology. The headline of the page leads us to thinking about the scientific character of the discipline, proclaiming: "Welcome to anthropology: the most scientific of the humanities, the most humanistic of the science". In addition the site shows news updated in the area of the anthropology, as for example new archaeological finds. The link for this site is: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/.

The site of the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) at the university of British Columbia is very interesting and interactive. The collection of the museum is consist of 35.000 etnographic objects and 500.000 archaeological objects. The materials derive from many parts of the world, including the South Pacific, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. This site contains links to enter to online exhibits, where the different objects can be observed, beside acceding to a detailed description of his context and of the society who produced them.

Also i can see to others old friends. We ate a tasty food, listened to good music, and enjoyed of one very nice night. After the meeting i went to sleep to my boyfriend's house.

In the night me and my girlfriends go out to dance and we enjoy very much. I came to my house very late and very tired and i remained slept immediately.
