HIT: Additional archaeological satire

[Laura Spota <lspota@SCARSDALESCHOOLS.K12.NY.US>]

In addition to the much loved Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay, were
the following suggestions...

_Tale of the Lost Formicans_ a more recent play by Congden.
http://www.epicom.com/voices/ae/formicans499.html

Another wonderful satire about archaeology is Robert Nathan's _The
Weans_, an archaeological investigation of U. S. culture -- published
about 1960.

Nacirema  is all that I remember.  (American spelled backwards.) I hope
someone remembers more.

When reading your message, it brought to mind  the Disney movie, The
Little Mermaid, with the sea people and seagulls having forks, spoons, etc.
and using them in unusual ways.

This sounds alot like the old Andy Griffith movie/book "No Time For
Sergeants (sp)".

Thanks again for your help!
