***NOTE***** I have a complete research proposal with outlined focuses of the paper and works cited, research already done with properly cited sources for your reference. I will include that as a file on the order. Final paper can be based on any aspect of Native Cultures of Alaska. Approaches can include a topic area that we have discussed over the semester, another topic that you are interested in learning more about, or something you and your family have had personal experience with. You must cite six sources, up to two of these can be personal communications you have with family or community members who have life experiences which relate to your chosen topic.
Length: Is your paper a full seven pages, up to 8 pages?
Format: Does your paper follow the guidelines for font, font size, margin size, and text spacing?
In-text Citation: Did you use an in-text citation from your textbook and articles from blackboard/other academic sources? Is your in-text citation formatted according to Chicago style guide? Did you appropriately use in-text citations for all of the sources listed on your reference cited page? Did you use an in-text citation every time you use outside information in your paper?
References Cited: Do you have a properly formatted (Chicago style guide) references cited page? Are your sources appropriate peer reviewed text (Note that any of the articles from Canvas would work as peer reviewed articles)?
Content: Is it obvious to the reader that you read the articles? Did you use specific examples from the articles book to support your arguments or discussion? Did you critically think about the articles? Did you apply concepts addressed in lectures, discussion board, films and articles? Do you personally reflect on the readings in your review? Make sure you are writing more than just a summary of the articles and are actually applying anthropological concepts in your paper.
Clarity: Did you use proper spelling and grammar throughout your assignment? Does your assignment follow a logical format (i.e. introduction, body, conclusion)? Is your entire assignment tied together by a cohesive idea or theme? Is your paper easy to read and understand? Are your points and arguments clear, how well does your entire paper flow together?
Citations – In order to cite properly you must cite in text as well as at the end of the document in a “References Cited” Section. You will likely learn many ways to cite sources while in university. For the purposes of our class please use the following format:
Example for in-text citation of article in journal
Any time you use an idea or information from an author you need to have an in-text citation at the end of the sentence or within the sentence. This should also be noted in the references cited section.
For example, using my article on Tohono O’odham traditional foods:
(Author’s Last Name date and page) =
There are many two organizations working to increase consumption and production of traditional foods on the Tohono O’odham Nation (Fazzino 2008, 40). OR
Fazzino (2008, 40) notes that there are many two organizations working to increase consumption and production of traditional foods on the Tohono O’odham Nation References Cited

Title: The Importance of Context in Forensic Analysis: Lessons from a Case Study of Human Rights Violations
STEP 2: ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
This case study demonstrates the importance of leaving remains in situ
in order to preserve the context for forensic analysis. In what ways
did removing clothes from the individuals and placing their skulls in
separate bags affect forensic analysis? (2 points)
The individuals in this study were victims of human rights violations. What is the forensic evidence for this? List at least 3 examples. (2 points)
Describe the graves from this case study. Were all individuals
buried together, or did they receive separate burials? Did there seem
to be great care put into their burials, or did the burials appear more
haphazardly organized? What might these details say about perception of
the values of the victims’ lives? In other words, how does the effort
put into a burial reflect the perceived importance of a person? (3 points)
In this case study, the author states the importance of proper
forensic training in working with crime scenes. Do you believe forensic
training should be required in cases such as this? Why or why not? What
about in impoverished regions where funding for forensic science is
scarce? Is it ethical to ask them to provide proper forensic training
when that money might not be available? How might these issues be
mitigated? (3 points) -

“The Future’s Interpretation of a Contemporary Artifact: A Room in a Modern Home” Title: “Uncovering the Mysteries of a Modern Home: An Archaeological Analysis of a Contemporary Room”
Motel of the Mysteries is a well-known book among archaeologists (see basic description in Smith, 2009). This humorous (now sadly out of print) book takes a look at how an archaeologist of the future might look at a late 20th century roadside motel. While our artifacts make sense to us, how might they preserve and be interpreted by future archaeologists? Choose one room in your home, workplace, community and describe one artifact for us, then explain some potential uses of that artifact. See if folks in class can guess your artifact!

“Exploring Political Art: Uncovering the Connections Between Artists, Society, and Anthropology”
Student Presentations (20%)
During the course of the term you will lead a presentation
(~10-15 minutes) that explores a political artist and their work. The goal of your presentation is
to stimulate and guide class learning and discussion related to the themes of the course, and
beyond, as engaged with by artists. The presentation should present i) a history of the artist, ii)
their main works and themes explored therein, iii) historical context of the artist and their art
work, iv) an exploration of its links to the course, and thinking anthropologically. Finally, the
presentation must have good questions and/or an activity to stimulate class engagement. Please
include photos, videos, audio. -
“Anthropological Observation: Exploring Cultural Scenes”
Purpose:
The goal of this activity is to observe a ‘cultural scene’ for 25 minutes and take notes as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on everything you have learned in the course to-date). You will submit a worksheet (attached) about your observations.
During this people watching activity, start to think about concepts that you’ve learned in class that fit with your observations. Be sure to take really detailed notes about the scene itself and the individuals and groups in the scene because you will use and build on this information in Week 5 to complete the assignment due that week.
Directions: Use Attached Worksheet
Choose a time and location where you can observe a cultural scene with multiple people (mall, public transportation, coffee shop, etc.). Quietly observe people for 25 minutes and simply watch what is going on. Do not talk to or interview people during this time.
B. Collect field notes (handwritten recommended).
C. Fill out and submit the attached worksheet. Your completed worksheet will include information about:
Location
Time of day
Scenery (for example- lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc.).
Details about the people in the scene (their characteristics, their behavior).
Reflection about what this activity was like for you. What was it like to observe others, now that you’re learning about anthropology? Was this different than people watching you engaged in before starting this class? -
“Mediated Intimacy: Exploring Online Fansign Events in the World of K-pop”
Requirements for final essay: You will independently research and write a paper of about 3,500 words on a topic of your choosing and related to the issues we cover in the course. Your paper could be either a literature review paper, which surveys available anthropological literature on a media-related topic; or an ethnographic paper, which presents an ethnographic analysis of a media-related phenomenon
My Research topic: mediated intimacy in K-pop online fansign
The purpose of my research: explore how online fan sign events of K-pop artists function as mediator spaces that facilitate intimate interactions between idols and fans
And I will examine the rise of digital technology in shaping identities, globalization, and fan consumption Introduction of online fan sign events with k-pop idols: buy albums to win a chance to have a video call with your idol
1. The event will be conducted with the video call channel ID in the information provided.
2. Members and winners will have a video call event.
History of fansign event: Before 2020, Fan signs were held in person.
With the rise of digital technology and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, these events have transitioned online.

Title: Applying the Scientific Method in Everyday Life
please select a quote from Chapter 1 that highlights an important idea from the readings. For example, as we see in Chapter 1, physical anthropology is the study of “the origins of hominins (i.e. humans and fossil human relatives), how they adapted over time, and how we – modern humans – continue to change” (Chapter 1, page 4). This quote is important because it foregrounds the study of humans from an evolutionary perspective, and places great emphasis on the fact that we continue to adapt and change today and into the future. It is crucial to provide a quote with chapter and page number in parentheses.
Please conclude this first discussion post briefly discussing an example in your life in which you have applied (in the past) or could apply (in the future) the scientific method to expand your understanding of the world around you. To help you structure this part of your post, please reflect on the following questions:
Why is direct observation important?
How does direct observation influence our thinking about a particular object?
What can the physical details of objects lead to new insights about the world around us?
Why is testing hypotheses important?
What happens if testing suggests a particular hypothesis is wrong?
Why is sharing research results important?
How can dialogue with others help expand knowledge? -
“The History of Beekeeping: Insights from Archaeological Evidence”
I have attached the Guideline and outline.
Please eusure that the same topic and outline are used.
This is for an Archeology class so must focus on using archaeological evidence.
Have to use two main sources
1.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358672712_Palynological_Insights_into_the_Ecology_and_Economy_of_Ancient_Bee-Products_A_Contribution_to_the_History_of_Beekeeping
2. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407921102
Archaeological evidence from this sources should be utilized, but other sources can be used for historical context.
IMPORTANT: please do not use any AI tool or fix AI’s sentence to avoid AI detector tool. My professor uses sophisticated detection methods.
