After the now Seattle-famous mammoth tusk twitter page, it’s no surprise that the Burke Museum’s mar/comm team has done a fantastic job with the Burke’s archaeology blog. The site features both unique artifacts from the Burke’s vast archaeological collection as well as some highlights of archaeology projects going on at the Burke. Archaeology of an insane asylum anyone?
This blog seems to me an awesome outreach tool for the museum to reach those tech-savvy archaeologists and museologists.

The person who runs the blog at the Burke is pretty awesome herself, too! And the tusk just got named last Friday…drumroll…… “Lulu” if DNA tests determine it’s a girl, and “Louie” if a boy.
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great
photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site
could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in
its niche. Very good blog!
