http://www.virginia.edu/~anthro/listings/s00.html

Extractions: T R 1400 - 1500 This course provides an introduction to human diversity as studied by the four fields of anthropology: biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology and sociocultural anthropology. Special attention is given to diversity imagined in terms of race, language, culture and history; "Western" and "non-Western" worldviews; and egalitarian and hierarchical social systems. Meets non-western perspectives. ANTH 222 BUDDHISM (3) SENEVIRATNE T R 9:30 - 10:45 An introduction to the sociology of Buddhism. Discusses the transformation of an ethical religion of an urban elite into a ritualistic mass religion of the peasantry. After a brief introduction to the Buddhist Doctrine, its social origins and the sociology of its transformation are discussed with particular reference to the orthodox traditions of Burma, Thailand and Sri Lanka. T R 09:30 - 10:45 The six books of Carlos Castaneda represent what is perhaps an anthropological ideal-a world in which the native's concepts of power, sorcery, and transformation are "real" rather than the social systems, adaptations, and symbolic processes generally used to explain them. They are not ethnography; in his latest preface Castaneda prefers to treat them as "autobiography." Yet they can be used very effectively to illustrate a wide range of conception anthropology and traditional religious, which is what this course, is all about. It will not teach you to fly, it may teach you to write, but I will hopeful, help you to understand how anthropologists think. The course will be given in an open seminar format, with discussion encouraged. Grades will be based on 3 papers.

http://antiquity.ac.uk/reviews/sinclair.html

Extractions: Peter Mitchell has produced a comprehensive overview of southern African archaeology. It is well written, very generously referenced and sensibly balanced. It is set in a standard, western, scientific framework, characterised by a primary focus on the artefactual component of material culture assemblages. Standard typological and chronological frameworks are used. Although this might be reassuring for the student, it does impose interpretative limits. Southern Africa presents a remarkably complex set of biomes and evidence for climate changes (Chapter 2). The archaeological record ranges from insights into human evolution from early hominids (Chapter 3) to the behavioural developments of anatomically modern humans (Chapter 4), through the long yet punctuated developments of stone technology (Chapters 5 and 6) to the array of subsistence activities in southern Africa today (Chapter 7). Evidence for these developments provides a material frame to assess, inter alia , transitions in subsistence and the enigmatic evidence for early forms of mobiliary art (Chapter 8).

It should appeal equally to students interested in field or laboratory research, museology, heritage management or conservation. The programme combines the considerable and diverse expertise of Institute of Archaeology staff and visiting African archaeologists. Students follow two core courses and also choose to study one other whole element or two half elements from other courses offered under Masters degrees at the Institute of Archaeology in addition to writing a 15,000 word dissertation. Assessment is by written coursework. The degree is available either full-time over a calender year or part-time over two calendar years (commencing September).

The mask's eyes are rendered as narrow slits, indicative of a dead person. Only male dancers wear these masks; women never do. The masks are used in village performances for boys' initiation, or "coming of age," ceremonies. Such masks also symbolize the prominence women enjoy in the Chokwe's matrilineal society.

Extractions: Introduction A couple of years ago while enjoying the luxury of a sabbatical (thanks to the National Endowment for the Humanities and my university), I stumbled across Jan Vansina's article, "Historians, are archaeologists your siblings?", published in History in Africa 22 (1995), 369-408. Which archaeologist could resist reading a critique of his discipline by a respected historian? I plunged in with both anticipation and trepidation. These feelings turned out to be justified. I was both excited and a little dismayed by what I read, though I was relieved to find that my own archaeological efforts in Uganda were favorably viewed by the eminence gris. I used Vansina's article as a starting-point for a discussion on the historiography of oral traditions and archaeology that I incorporated into a chapter of a book that I am writing at a glacial pace. Subsequently I have been disappointed that no archaeologists (to the best of my knowledge) have taken up in print the issues raised by Vansina.

Extractions: Conference - June 23-26 2006 The Theme : Integrating African Archaeology Exciting papers documenting new discoveries are an essential feature of any good conference. We hope to welcome many such papers. However a con-fer ence also entails a bringing together of data, perspectives and people and it is our aim in 2006 to maximize the synergy generated by such interactions. The pre-conference Student Meeting to be initiated in Calgary will, we hope, serve both ends. Let "integration" be broadly construed to include the interrelationships: This listing is in no way intended to limit the range of topics discussed at the conference but rather to encourage delegates to reflect on the wider significances of their research and practice, and to build connections with colleagues whose "distance" may be more apparent than real. For example the following topics/sessions could bring together materials and colleagues in productive ways: Behavior and Cognition in the African Early Stone Age Diffusion and the invention of tradition African by Africans in Africa and those of the diasporas during the Slave Trade period Multi-disciplinary approaches to ancient migrations and disease: the contribution of genetic, archaeological, and medical sciences

Academic life so far I was born in 1937 and educated at the universities of Cambridge (B.A. Arch. and Anth. 1960) and Harvard (A.M. 1962 and Ph.D. Anthro. 1966). My research interests are in ethnoarchaeology, archaeological theory, African later prehistory and culture history, and in the European Upper Palaeolithic. I have directed the Mandara Archaeological Project in Cameroon, Nigeria, and Ghana, since 1984, and have also worked in the southern Sudan and the Central African Republic. I served for four years as head of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, before moving to Calgary in 1980. From 1980 to 1985 I was founding editor of the African Archaeological Review . I retired at the end of December 2001 and have since then been heavily involved in fieldwork in northern Cameroon, once again doing dirt archaeology and investigating what were formerly thought to be stone-built strongholds but now seem more likely to be

Extractions: Your browser does not support javascript Georgian Homo Erectus Published May 11, 2000 by Angela M.H. Schuster Editors note: The May 12 edition of the journal Science presents the first scientific description of two 1.7-million-year-old crania excavated at Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. According to the article's authors the age and skeletal characteristics of the Dmanisi fossils link them to the early human species Homo ergaster, which some researchers believe is an African version of H. erectus. ARCHAEOLOGY reported the discovery, dated at that time to 1.8 million years, in its January/February 2000 issue and on its website. The authors of the Science paper add, that while numerous fossil finds confirm that H. erectus was the first hominid species to leave the African continent, what prompted such a migration continues to be a topic of debate. Most believe that H. erectus, armed with an advanced tool kit, known as the Acheulean or hand-ax tradition, became the first human species capable of braving an array of challenging environments outside Africa. "The Dmanisi fossils, however, undermine this tale of the technologically triumphant hominid," says paper co-author Carl C. Swisher III of the Berkeley Geochronology Center. "Even though raw material suitable for making Acheulean tools was readily available," he says, "stone tools found with the two skulls are of a pre-Acheulean pebble-chopper type that appeared in Africa as early as 2.4 million years ago, arguing for early, pre-Acheulean migrations."
