Lewis Binford

Lewis Binford


 I'm going to write about Lewis Binford, who was born in 1930 and died in 2011. He was a  american archaeologist known that established The New Archaeology also called Processual Archaeology (movement arose in the '60). He contributed in other fields of study like the etnology and the antropology, because he considered that were neccesary for understanding of the past. Additionally he used the natural sciences for archaeological investigations. 
He studied the alive populations and your materials cultures for to have a complete vision from the archaeological records. He decided to start etnografic fieldworks with the Niunamiut in Alaska (eskimos) for understand the Paleolithic lithic industry developed in Europe.
Binford is my favorite archaeology because he generated multidisciplinary studies that included to the antropology, etnology, experimental archaeology, and others. Also he produced correlations between behaviour and material culture for understanding the past societies.

A singer I like




Adele

I’m going to write about a Singer. The singer is called Adele, she’s from Britain and she´s in blues, jazz, soul and pop, and she has won nine Grammys, four Brit award, four American music award, and so on. Your album more famous is called “21” and stand out songs such as «Rolling in the Deep», «Someone Like You» and «Set Fire to the Rain». Particularly for me, I like the main song that she sang in the last film of James Bond. The name of the song is “Skyfall” like the movie, and it’s my favorite song. I like Adele because she blends perfectly her voice with his orchestra instrumental, specially the piano. This song was so successful, that Adele won the Golden Globe and the Oscar for “the best original song” in 2013.
