Unearthing Perspectives: Writing Archaeological Policy

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are an archaeologist tasked with developing a policy for the protection of a newly discovered archaeological site in your region. Instead of simply stating the facts about the site, your goal is to create a policy document that employs 'show, don't tell' techniques. Begin by painting a vivid picture of the site itself; describe its geographical features, historical significance, and the artifacts found. Then, weave in narratives about the potential impact of neglect or development on the site. Use compelling examples and emotional appeal to persuade stakeholders to prioritize its preservation. Aim for a formal yet engaging tone, and ensure your document clearly outlines specific actions required to protect the site.
