3-D Reconstructions
25 January 2003, 9:06 PM

So I'm reading the textbook assignments for my World Prehistory class and wishing they would include pictures of artistic 3-D reconstructions from some of the more complete skulls and skeletons found. What do I do but go looking for 'em online. I love the internet. Look at some of the stuff I found:

Kennis&Kennis 3-D reconstructions. These two guys are as fascinating as the paintings and clay models they create.

Pleistocene Mammals in the Russian Paleontological Institute

Artists's rendition of Pleistocene environment of Oklahoma

Hominoid footprints

Studying

It's a gray and drizzly cold day here. Perfect weather for staying inside and reading. First I'm catching up with some reading for my classes, then later I might pick up a novel. I haven't done that in a while.

This is cool: History of the Crystal Palace. This was mentioned in Wednesday's lecture in "History of Anthropological Thought" so I thought I'd go seek out some more info on it.

And I've been pouring through PBS's list of program's web sites, studying their style etc. There's a lot of nifty stuff information in there that I haven't yet seen come across PBS in my area. Some of my favorites so far (I'm only up to the H's):

Homeland
"Four Lakota families open their hearts and homes in HOMELAND, an inspirational portrait of reservation life."

The Greeks
"Crucible of Civilization"

Great American Speeches
"80 Years of Political Oratory"

A Force More Powerful
"A Century of Nonviolent Conflict"

The First Measured Century
"The First Measured Century project presents a unique look at American History, using data to show us where we've been and where we might be going."

Enemies of War
The story of war in El Salvador during the 1980's.

Empty Oceans, Empty Nets
" Our oceans are rapidly being depleted of fish. An international debate concerns the nature of a complex problem and what needs to be done about it. Understanding why some fisheries are thriving, while most are in serious decline may be the key to averting a global food crisis."

Continental Harmony
Music of the Americas.

Conquistadors
"[...] about the Spanish Conquistadors in the New World -- and the legacy of their contact with Native Americans."

Children of the Camps
"The CHILDREN OF THE CAMPS documentary captures the experiences of six Americans of Japanese ancestry who were confined as innocent children to internment camps by the U.S. government during World War II."

Caught int the Crossfire
"The lives of three diverse Arab Americans in New York city as they struggle to negotiate life in a post-911 America"

Brother Can You Spare a Billion
" The Story of Jesse H. Jones"

Ben Franklin
"An extraordinary life. An electric mind."

Antiques Roadshow
My personal favorite appraisal from Antiques Roadshow - A National Treasure.

Anscestors
Geneology.
