What are some ideas for creating a poster board about anthropology?

I am doing a mid-term project in my Careers class. We have to select a career and design a poster board with information relating to our career. The career I am doing is an anthropologist. We are getting a ';creativity'; mark for our board - how can I make my board relate to being an anthropologist, and what sort of visual things (ie. colours, objects, pictures) can I add to the board?What are some ideas for creating a poster board about anthropology?
Some random thoughts:





4 main areas of emphasis within anthro: Physical, Linguistic, Ethnological (cultural), and Archaeology. So, you can show four major career paths.





Visually, the only difficulty would be with Linguistics, unless you want to confine yourself to written expression. You might set up an MP3 player with a variety of languages being spoken. Maybe something like ';Greetings in 35(or whatever) Languages!';





All the other areas offer many stimulating visual imagery: artifacts, clothing, body adornment, rituals, ceremonies, fossil remains, forensics, etc.
