[OR_Archaeology] Anthropology Field Notes 3

[David Russell]

Friends and colleagues: The use of visual media in documenting the human 
cultural legacy has grown rapidly in recent decades.  We are pleased to 
feature one of the early pacesetters of this approach in Anthropology Field 
Notes 3, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, 
The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/).

In this series of interviews with today's news-makers, host Faith Haney of 
Central Washington University explores cultural anthropology and 
archaeology.  In the third episode, taped on January 26, 2007, Faith visits 
with anthropologist Dr. Karl Heider, of the University of South Carolina.  
Dr. Heider is a film-maker and author and a pioneer of visual anthropology.  
His research among the Dani people of New Guinea is documented in the famous 
ethnographic film, Dead Birds.  The interview closes with footage from his 
1964 film, Dani Sweet Potatoes.
