Do we get credit if our class has an archaeological find while on a dig?

Good question, I would suppose the choice goes to whoever put up the money, like in all things usually. We know on a recent find Masiakasaurus knopfleri is named for Mark Knopfler, the lead guitarist of the British rock group Dire Straits, who the scientists listened to when digging. URL1 Masiakasaurus was a small predatory (theropod) dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Madagascar.It was named in 2001 by Scott D.

Sampson, Matthew Carrano, and Catherine A. Forster. http://topics.sfgate.com/topics/Masiakasaurus.

It truly depends on your professor to tell the truth. In corporations the company gets the credit for the work that the employee has produced, and in education, usually either the professor in charge, or the university itself gains attention for the archaeological find. Rarely does a student, unless at the very least a grad student, get to take any credit for the find.

After all, the dig was located and chosen by the instructor, the college is funding the trip, and grants help to pay for your participation. If the significant find is published, then the students who are participating in the dig may get their picture in the paper, with a caption, and they may be included in the credits, but for the most part the dig is the responsibility and benefit of those who are in charge of the dig, and not the interns or students.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
