Maybe this source will present good things to share with students and colleagues now or in future years.

Used in conjunction with Wikipedias in multiple languages, this concentration of anthropology presentations will be a place to explore from time to time.

Excerpt from "Archaeology Dogs Can Help Scholars Sniff Out the Past"

A dog's nose performs at least 10,000 times better than ours. Specifically, dogs pick up on low-molecular-weight compounds that easily evaporate at room temperature and often carry an odor—what scientists call volatile organic compounds. Canines can detect one such part in every trillion.
     As a result, dogs have demonstrated uncanny olfactory abilities. They have sniffed out melanoma skin cancer in humans and detected pregnancy in cows just by picking up scents in their bodily fluids.
     So, what exactly are canines detecting at archaeological digs? "Our dogs are not actually searching for bones," Glavaš emphasizes. "They are searching for the molecules of human decomposition."

Stories told by trash of the ancestors, digging on Mackinac Island

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/mackinac-island-trash-dump

Literally salvage archaeology in two senses of the term: quick work at the time of major construction to salvage social and cultural information from the exposed ground, and also salvage as in 'junk yard' salvaging value from what has been discarded.

This article describes the work undertaken as part of the relocation of the island airstrip.

language as political hot-potato that is hard to handle (English graveyard, Gaelic text)

excerpt from Church of England refuses to allow foreign language on a gravestone, calling it a "political statement"

...the Church of England pushed back again when they saw the planned inscription on the cross: "In ár gcroíthe go deo," which means, "In our hearts forever" in the Irish language. This didn't seem particularly radical, especially as there are already Welsh inscriptions in the same cemetery. But once again, the diocesan advisory committee denied the family's headstone proposal. "Given the passions and feelings connected with the use of Irish Gaelic," said a Church judge who is also a local government judge, "There is a sad risk that the phrase would be regarded as some form of slogan or that its inclusion without translation would of itself be seen as a political statement."

After yet another appeal, the judge agreed to allow the Irish words only if they're accompanied by an English translation.

45 years of fieldwork --documenting Japanese rural life in Kyushu since the 1970s

This newly released documentary will interest students of ethnography, not just those keen on life in Japan.

It is the first edition looking back at Joy Hendry's 45 years of anthropology field work in rural Japan (near Fukuoka), recorded during her fall 2019 return there in this documentary (later this year an enhanced version will be released, she sasys); about 45 minutes in length, Here is part of her email message on March 15, 2020 to the East Asia Anthropology listserv, forwarded with her permission. The idea of fieldwork scholars making a recap of their projects and career this way in visual form sets a good example to follow.

...how we did anthropology in those days, and how things in rural Japan have changed, a film my son made last year when I went to return some family trees and a village chart to the people I worked with in 1975 will give you an idea. The film still has a few glitches, but might be interesting, especially as many of us are virtually housebound at present. https://youtu.be/x7qptoXqnhE "Understanding Japanese Culture - 45 years researching a village in rural Japan"

the 100 languages as of 2020

Something like 100 languages have written form to go with them. The other 6800 that remain on Earth are spoken-only.

This visual represenation of the biggest number of language speakers includes some explanation and discussion.

Seeing the reverse - least number of speakers - in visual form wold be good, too!

One of the easily overlooked features of the (English language) Wikipedia is the sidebar at lower left in which a given topic is shown with hotlinks to all the other language-versions of Wikipedia, when that topic is also available there. Some subjects have lots of corresponding articles; others have few. In some cases the biggest number of Wikipedia articles (found in English, Dutch, German) provide outline and some content for the other languages. But in other cases the article is composed from scratch, using supporting documents of that other language, with little or no reference to the English or another source article.
