The dangers of human error surround us all, but they cannot be avoided; it is inevitable. Throughout my school career I have thought, although I know it is a very basic thought, that science is one of the most stable curricula and therefore not susceptible to human error. I was very wrong. This week in my science class, Reading and Writing, we studied Archaeology. Archeology is a field that requires the basic information of the history and scientific methods of science. This profession, like most others, is very susceptible to the danger of human error. Through my classroom experience, after viewing seven foreign images, I learned that archeology deals almost entirely with human observations and perspectives. After a body or artifact has been unearthed, it is the job of archaeologists to understand as much as possible about the different objects. Because humans are not omnipotent creatures, they are sometimes wrong in their assumptions and conclusions about the history of these artifacts. After revisiting the images and telling me the history and professional accomplishments of each one, I too discovered that there were errors in my observations; sometimes I omitted certain artifacts and made unknown biases or cultural assumptions about deceased people, which in turn led me to interpret the evidence incorrectly. There have been many cases where I have been the victim of human error by unintentionally omitting certain artifacts in images. An episode of this kind was my first observation of image seven. My initial observation was this: This person's skull appears to be smiling. The mouth is wide open and the head is resting on a white rock. The rotation is going downwards, so it appears that I... center of the card... man has been left out to decay. Once his body had decomposed, they collected his bones and placed them respectfully in a kind of basket. Then he was buried. There were gifts I hadn't noticed that had been placed with his bones. Even though the bones are scattered and look gruesome to me, for this culture this is considered a respectful burial. Because of my unconscious cultural bias about burial, my conclusions about the image were completely false. While not all of my observations were wrong, two of them were noticeably so. After much thought, I have concluded that while archeology is susceptible to human error, so is virtually everything else. You can never truly escape human error; but you can learn to work with and around human error. Once someone masters working with and around human error, I think they become an expert in their field.
