Subject: [Sasnet] Archaeological Geology Division student listserver

Colleagues,

For those who do not know me, I am one of the student representatives
on the Management Board of the Archaeological Geology Division (AGD)
of the Geological Society of America (GSA).

The current foci of AGD includes recruitment and retainment of
student members in the division.  The division's meeting last year at
the GSA conference in Philadelphia reaffirmed this as a central
goal.  One of the recent tools created for students in archaeological
geology and geoarchaeology is an on-line database of funding, grants,
awards, and studentships for graduate students in relevant fields:

http://web.mac.com/elleryfrahm/iWeb/Geoarch/

This funding database has been very well received, and we ask for
your continued submissions to keep the database up-to-date.  In
particular, I encourage faculty members to announce studentships on
this page, which has been viewed over 1600 times within the last
eight months.

I am writing today, though, to advertise a new listserver for student
members of AGD.  This listserver is a moderated e-mail-based forum,
giving the students in the division a way to interact both
professionally and socially.  Students can get to know one another,
share information and experience, organize field trips and sessions,
connect at conferences, sell books, vent frustrations, and talk about
other subjects subscribers would like to discuss.  Hopefully
subscribers will find the list both useful and enjoyable.  This came
about as an excellent suggestion from Laura Murphy at the University
of Kansas.  For additional information about the listserver,
including how to subscribe, please visit the site below:

http://web.mac.com/elleryfrahm/iWeb/Geoarchlist

If you are a student, either graduate or undergraduate, interested in
the earth sciences and archaeology, but you are not a member of GSA
and/or AGD, please do consider membership so you can gain the
benefits of membership and contribute to the society and division.
If you are not yet a student member but are interested in learning
more or meeting people using the listserver, please feel free to send
me an email.  You should also check out the division's website:

http://www.geosociety.org/arch/

Also feel free to forward this email to any students who might be
interested.

Best,
Ellery

Hello Fellow Students!

Just wondering if people would like to comment on their experience of
this year's annual meeting....what did you think?  Was it your first or
are you a regular attender?  Did you present and, if so, how did it go?

I personally had a great time, though, I went as a volunteer so I found
that I didn't have the time to go to as many sessions as I'd like.
Also, I organised the Forensic Archaeology Symposium.  We only had
about 4 speakers but it went really well and I already have about 10
people lined up to present for next year.

Please do post to this group!!  Interesting things won't appear on
their own; it's up to us to get dialogue going and make this group
worthwhile!

All the best>  kim  :)

Dear colleagues,

The Archaeology Department at Durham University is now offering a new
taught Masters (MSc) programme in Human Palaeoecology. This MSc provides
students with the opportunity to study and understand important issues
and materials in this broad field, explored through four key themes: 1)
Environmental Impact and Change, 2) Dispersals and Diasporas, 3)
Palaeoeconomy and Diet, 4) Human Health and Environment.

The MSc uses lecture, laboratory practical, workshop and seminar
sessions for teaching. It consists of two taught core modules (Past
Peoples and Palaeoenvironments & Research & Study Skills in Human
Palaeoecology), a choice of two specialised modules (from Animals and
People, Plants and People or Biomolecular Archaeology & Anthropology)
spread over two terms, and a research dissertation during the third term
over the summer months.

Could you please pass on this information to any students/colleagues who
may be interested in pursuing such postgraduate studies in Durham?

**********************************************************

The WAC Student Committee would like to call for papers for the
session we are going to organise at the WAC Jamaica Inter-Congress
(20-27 May 2007). The session is titled "(Re-)Defining Archaeology:
Emerging Perspectives from International Student Research", and its
abstract follows at the end of this message.

We would like to invite papers particularly from students, but also
from interested professionals.

The research of students is often considered as 'secondary' in
archaeology, be it for disciplinary or structural reasons. Even
looking at WAC, which has been effectively promoting the importance
of giving voice to the 'subjugated', the secondary position of
students can be confirmed by the small number of WAC student members
(only about 60 all over the world!), as well as traditionally small
numbers of student participants in WAC conferences and symposia
except those from within the host country. In our session, we hope to
highlight new, innovative and challenging student research
perspectives that may 're-define' archaeology in the future.

In the session, several students from different countries will
present their research, to be followed by comments from a few
discussants. We invite interested professional archaeologists to
participate in our session either as discussants or by presenting
papers on the the role of student research in archaeology and/or WAC.
Dr. Peter Stone (UK) has graciously offered to give such a
presentation, but we would welcome additional papers.

If you are interested in the session, please contact either Dru

We need your paper abstract (150-250 words) immediately.

For those students who wish to participate in the session but cannot
make it to Jamaica for some reason - particularly financial ones
(students have a far smaller chance of getting a grant to participate
in a conference!), we plan to organise an electronic symposium as
well, independent of the actual session. If you or your students are
interested in this electronic symposium, please feel free to contact us.

Best wishes,

Akira Matsuda (on behalf of the WAC Student Committee)

[WAC Student Committee's session at the WAC Jamaica Inter-Congress]

Session title:
"(Re-)Defining Archaeology: Emerging Perspectives from International
Student Research"

Session Abstract:
This session highlights research by international student members of
the World Archaeological Congress.  Young scholars from around the
globe are re-defining the importance, values, and development of
archaeology through education and research.  This research
simultaneously supports archaeology's history as a science of past
cultures and tests the limits of contemporary methods, theories, and
ethics.  To some, emerging research may seem a "threat" to
archaeology.  We believe, instead, that the presentation and debate
of innovative, revolutionary, and potentially controversial research
will foster growth within our discipline. Stretching across themes of
Indigenous Archaeology, Archaeology Education, Archaeology and
Tourism, Community Archaeology, Public Archaeology, and more, this
session will systematically overview important emerging perspectives
in the field of archaeology.

Subject: Chance to do Research in Iran

Dear all,

Hello again, this time the opportunity to go to Iran and partake in
research being carried out on the Tehran Plain during the Easter
break. This project looks very promising and all the paper work is in
place, so if applicants are accepted I should imagine beautiful Iran
will beckon (please ignore western propoganda machines demonising the
country).

The team is led by Professor Coningham of Durham and Dr Fazeli from
ICCHA of Iran. There will be a large group of scholars from various
UK universities participating.

The project will entail:

-excavation and stratigraphy
-geoarchaeology and geomorphology
-ethnoarchaeology and economic archaeology

If you are interestd please send your CV and letter of introduction
to Professor Coningham:   r.a.e.coningham@...

Many thanks
roya

COSWA Workshop
Pathways To Becoming A Practicing Anthropologist
Sponsored by AAA Committee on the Status of Women in Anthropology

DATE: 11/17/2006 (Friday)
TIME: 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM
ROOM: Meeting Room B4-Concourse-San Jose McEnery Convention Center
COST:  Free

Do you have an interest in working outside the academy?  Have you had
trouble finding practical resources within your department?  Would you like
the opportunity to connect with like-minded students and professionals?  The
Committee on the Status of Women in Anthropology (COSWA) is sponsoring a
special Workshop, where practicing anthropologists will discuss, and address
questions from participants, regarding training, opportunities, and
experiences of women in numerous realms of practitioner anthropology,
including human rights work, forensic anthropology, archaeology and the
corporate world.  Discussion among participants is encouraged.  Both
students and professionals with interests in practitioner anthropology are
invited to attend.  No pre-registration is necessary.

Workshop Leaders

Rita Denny (Practica Group, LLC) specializes in American consumer culture,
focusing on culturally based meanings of products and services in everyday
life, applying these findings to advertising positioning, new product and
brand development, and corporate communication strategies. Her projects have
included a focus on dogs and their owners, book and music lovers, the
integration of hi-tech into home life, the metaphors of computing, the
culture of drugs, meanings of health and the culture of corporate giving.
She, often with Patricia Sunderland, has written about ethnographic methods
and the challenges of doing anthropology in consumer research for audiences
as diverse as commercial practice, academic marketing and anthropology.
(www.practicagroup.com).


Teresita Majewski, Ph.D., RPA is chief operating officer of Statistical
Research, Inc., a cultural resources consulting firm with offices throughout
the western United States and Canada. She is also an associate research
professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arizona,
where she teaches classes in historical archaeology. For many years, she has
been active in working with graduate students and young professionals to
help them learn the skills necessary to bridge the gap between academic
training in anthropology and careers as practicing anthropologists.


Victoria Sanford is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Lehman College,
City University of New York.  She is the author of Buried Secrets:  Truth
and Human Rights in Guatemala (2003), Violencia y Genocidio en Guatemala
(2003), and La Masacre de Panzós (2006) as well as co-editor (with Asale
Angel-Ajani) of Engaged Observer:  Anthropology, Advocacy and Activism
(2006).  She has conducted field research on human rights, displacement,
women's human rights, and child soldiers in Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador,
Nicaragua, El Salvador and South Africa.

In this workshop, Dr. Sanford will draw on her experience as an engaged
observer conducting human  rights research with national and international
NGOs to discuss career pathways available to anthropologists outside of
academia.


Heather Walsh-Haney is a forensic anthropologist and visiting instructor at
Florida Gulf Coast University, in the College of Professional Studies,
Department of Justice Studies and full member of the American Academy of
Forensic Sciences.  As a DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operations Response Team)

anthropologist for the Bermuda Special Crimes Task Force and Florida Medical
Examiner Districts 3, 4, 5, 20 and 21, as well as a Mummy Investigator with
Discovery Channel’s show Mummy Autopsy.  As a mummy investigator, she has
examined ancient remains from Egypt, Scotland and the Wild West. Lastly, she
helped to create and has taught short courses entitle Bugs, Bones, and
Botany© for forensic practitioners, students, and teachers for nearly 10
years.  She has co-authored the edited volume, The Forensic Anthropology
Laboratory with Michael W. Warren for CRC Press.
