4) elsewhere:
advance reminder: the American Association of Physical Anthropologists will be
meeting in Milwaukee at the Hilton City Center hotel, April 6 thru 9 2005.

  And:       The Society for Anthropological Sciences (SASci) is hosting its
first General Scholarly Meeting February 23-27, 2005 in Santa Fe, New Mexico--in
conjunction with the meetings of the Society for Cross Cultural Research.  We at
SASci would like to invite those of you who are interested in some aspect of
anthropological science to check out our society (at
http://anthrosciences.org/index.) and consider joining and attending our
meeting.  (The URL  for the meeting is
http://anthrosciences.org/sasci-sccr/index.html ).
          This "general scholarly meeting" is focused on current research and
on an effective exchange of ideas, theoretical insights, theoretical systems,
methods, and payoffs of anthropological science.  Volunteered papers or symposia
on any aspect of anthropological science are welcome.  We are particularly
interested in having research oriented symposia on topics and/or methods that
will be of interest to our members and that will actively aid promote the
development of some aspect of anthropological science.   We hope to have some
such symposia to announce early--before the deadline for submissions;
particularly we are aiming here at symposia that will have open slots available
for further submissions by interested members--as a way of promoting greater and
more effective exchange and interaction than might otherwise be the case.
        Workshops and discussion groups are also welcome.
        We hope to provide attendees with the kinds of exchanges, sharing,
learning, and feedback that they may miss in their ordinary colleagueal
interactions in their home departments and that are hard to come by in the
rushed and chaotic atmosphere of the large AAA meetings.
        If you have any questions, please feel free to pass them on to me.

From Don Coffin, Economics prof at IUN:
Call for Papers
The Society for Economic Anthropology seeks proposals for papers and poster
presentations for our 2005 annual meetings, April 21-23, 2005 at Dartmouth
College, Hanover, New Hampshire on the theme: "Economies and the Transformation
of Landscape."
The SEA meetings provide a rare opportunity for a focused and
coherent program of presentation, with time for critical discussion
in a convivial intellectual setting. About 15 papers are selected
from abstracts for a program that allows 20 minutes for presentation and 20
minutes for discussion in a single plenary session over two days; 20-30
additional abstracts will be selected for an afternoon poster session. Each SEA
conference also produces a book on the same theme. Submitting a paper for the
plenary session is a commitment that you wish to be considered for inclusion in
this volume.
We seek papers that address the interconnected themes of conceptual and physical
transformations of the landscape, as well as those that focus more specifically
on one or more of the following cross cutting sub themes:
* Livelihoods and Access to Resources (including the intersection of
economy-ecology at household, community and regional scales).
* Political-economy of landscape transformation - (including the role power
plays in transforming landscapes).
* Beyond the local - multilevel transformations (including links
between interregional and global processes and their impacts on local landscapes).
* Historical and pre-historical processes of human adaptation and
environmental change
*The "constructedness" of landscapes - physically and cognitively -
and the role of the economy in conceptualizing the environment.
We encourage archaeologists to submit abstracts as well as cultural
anthropologists, geographers and other social scientists concerned with
economy-ecology linkages. Send an abstract for a paper or poster of 400-600
words to Lisa Cliggett and Chris Pool, Department of Anthropology, 211 Lafferty
Hall, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506-0024. Deadline for abstracts
is November 1st 2004.

7) fieldschool in Belize
Hello,
I'm a grad student at IUB, and I'm wondering if it would be possible for you to
send out some information about the field school we are running in Belize,
Central America this spring? unfortunately, the application deadline is in 2
weeks (Oct. 15th), so there is not much time, but there may be some
undergraduates at IUN who would be interested. Pierre Sosa was an excellent
participant last season (he did some incredible drawings of some of our more
exciting ceramic finds).
any by the way, i think your news about anthropology emails are really fabulous.
i am from the chicago area, and there is so much going on there, it really makes
me homesick. but, i do enjoy reading about what events are going on, and the web
links are always interesting, so thanks!
the field school information is below...
