Assignment 5

My favourite topic of archaeology is the rock art, which are the art representation of the past people. The rock art can be petroglyphs or cave paintings. The first are incisions over rock, this can be realized with artefacts of bone, antler or others rock pointed. The second type of art is realized with natural pigments which extracted of blood, flower or vegetation.
I like very much this theme because I think the rock art is the expression of the people. The result of ritual activities was the rock art, and many times, the rock art represents the “fosfenos”. These ones are the visual impressions after of consume hallucinogenic, and then the rock art can help to interpret the symbolic aspect of past societies.
I have some web sites and this are:

Assignment 4

The next pages are my favourite web sites about topics of archaeology, because these are very useful and this has many pictures.
The first web site is http://www.rupestre.net/alps/index.html, this page is very beautiful because this have rock art throughout of world. Too, this page has many documents which explain topics of rock art and very lot links in Spanish about this themes, then is very didactic!!
My second favourite web site is http://www.jstor.org. This page is one link very common, because this has a lot of archaeological documents. In this page you can find and download many titles publish for this science journal. The most of documents are in English, but are few in Spanish.
The last web site is http://www.nps.gov/archive/efmo/parks/glossary.htm , because this page is one archaeological dictionary. This definitively is the most useful because I read very lot of documents in English which are technical archaeological vocabulary. I can’t encounter these words in common dictionaries, but in this dictionary I can find and understand the vocabulary.

Assignment 3

My last weekend was very interesting, because I go to the mountain. Vilches is a village near of Talca (around two hours in bus toward east) and it is in the mountain of Maule Region. I am be a member of group mountain climbing called “Condores”, it group is composed of around twenty members. Several this members still study of Talca in the school called Liceo Abate Molina. I am former student of this school, but although I am in Santiago actually, I go to the mountain with they when I have something time. The last weekend I went to the hill called “enladrillado”, I walked very much, but the landscape is very beautiful.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

This song is one of my favourite songs, the title of this song is Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The musical group is The Beatles, and in my opinion, is the best group because is composed by four very good musicians, John Lennon, Paul Mc Cartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. This group dissolved and each of them started a solo career. I like very much this song because have a good rhythm and when I listen this songs, I can imagine the lovely landscape.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newpaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (fade out)
