]]> Comment on What has Mystery Got to Do With It? by John Lutz http://www.playingwithhistory.com/366/comment-page-1/#comment-37 John Lutz Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:51:42 +0000 http://www.playingwithhistory.com/366/#comment-37 After a brief intro to the Mysteries project eight of us took on four of the mysteries in pairs and tried to solve the mysteries while talking through the process they were using to solve it. In the debriefing afterwards we discussed how people think historically. The project directors Ruth and John learned lessons about how people worked their way through the site with different strategies. The group generated ideas about how to expand this workshop into a fuller research project. The strategy of using a scribe and a researcher recorded a certain level of interaction with the site and was a great way to get people to vocalize their strategies. To observe at a meta level what the researcher was doing may require a trained observer and video technology.

You've pointed it out to me before, but I think I probably need a guided tour to really get it. Hi Shawn:
