This document describes a proposed mobile app called "The Time Machine" that would allow visitors to Balboa Park to explore the park and learn about its history by "dialing" into different time periods. Users could choose from time periods like the 1940s, 1915, or the 1870s to see snapshots of major events, cultural trends, photos, and context for both the world and Balboa Park at that time. They would then be able to view a list of related artifacts, places, figures, etc. and "collect" ones they discover on a virtual map of the park. The app aims to foster exploration, discovery, and collaboration between the park's institutions.

The time Machine By Shah Faisal Rashdi
The Time Traveler builds a machine that allows him to travel through time. He travels to the year 802,701 AD and finds that humanity has evolved into two distinct species - the Eloi, a small, weak race that lives above ground, and the Morlocks, an ape-like race that lives underground and preys on the Eloi. The Time Traveler explores this future world and has dangerous encounters with the Morlocks before returning to his own time and recounting his experiences to his friends, though they remain skeptical of his story.

The document discusses the history and importance of repatriation in anthropology. It describes how Native American skeletal remains and artifacts were widely looted and collected in the past. This led to the passage of laws like NAGPRA in the 1990s that require consultation with indigenous groups and allow for remains and sacred objects to be returned to their communities. The document uses the example of the Kennewick Man discovery to illustrate tensions that still exist between some archaeologists and repatriation laws.

Lentz-Meyer Thesis Project- Processing the Angel Island SP Collection
The document discusses the history of Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay. It served various purposes over time, starting as a remote location used for illegal activities. In the 1800s it was the site of dueling and housed criminals and diseased people. In 1863 the US Army established Camp Reynolds on the island for military purposes. It later became a quarantine station and immigration detention center from 1910-1940, where it processed and detained immigrants, many facing poor conditions and interrogation.
Paleolithic Art
This document provides an overview of early paleolithic art beginning in Africa. It discusses the Magapansgat pebble from South Africa dated to 3 million years ago, which some believe represents early symbolic thinking. Mobiliary art, or small portable sculptures, emerged later, often depicting animals which were important for survival. Female figurines also appeared, like the Venus of Willendorf dated to 28,000 BCE, which focused heavily on fertility features. Scholars debate the meaning and purpose of these figurines. The document outlines the evolution of increasingly sophisticated art in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period beginning around 50,000 years ago, reflecting the cognitive developments of modern humans.

Ancient and prehistoric art developed before the emergence of writing and provide insight into early human life and culture. Cave paintings from the Paleolithic era depict animals and humans and may have had ritual or ceremonial purposes. Notable prehistoric art includes the Cave of Lascaux paintings from 15,000 BCE and Venus figurines that exaggerate feminine features. Megalithic structures like menhirs, dolmens, and cromlechs served religious or burial functions and some may have been used for astronomical observations. Ancient art traditions continue to inspire modern society through their mysteries, scale, and ingenuity.
