3) elsewhere in Indiana: (most from Amy Johnson)
    3a) Visions for the Calumet
The 7th Annual Calumet Heritage Conference, on Saturday, 14 October, 2006, in
the Valparaiso University Student Union at Valparaiso University, is a
celebration of the Calumet region's foundations and future...its heritage.
Since fur traders and explorers first encountered the people and landscapes at
the southern end of Lake Michigan, they asked: what could become of this place?
Their question has been answered in some wildly different ways: this place
became the core of the nation's steel industry; this place became one of the
nation's largest wetland complexes; this place became home to an incredible
diversity of peoples.
What will become of this place now? This conference explores the theme of
visions for the Calumet region, from past visions to those that may guide the
future in both Illinois and Indiana.
Schedule of Events
8:30 REGISTRATION & EXHIBITS

    3e) at the University of Cincinnati:
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY TAFT LECTURE, FALL 2006
Thursday Oct 12, 2006 (McMicken 127)   4 pm
PROFESSOR BRIAN FAGAN
Emeritus Professor of Anthropology
University of California Santa Barbara CA 93106
    "Summers and Ice Ages: climate change and human societies"
Recent years have witnessed a revolution in the study of ancient climate, which
is changing our perception of how ancient societies of all kinds reacted to
short- and long-term climate change and major climatic events. Brian Fagan
examines some examples and some of the challenges of studying the impact of
climate on prehistoric cultures without falling into the shoals of climatic
determinism.

4) events in Chicago:
    4a) Salt Pork and Rum in Belize
 A. Watson Armour Seminar Series
Field Museum of Natural History
Please Join Us for a Free Lecture
Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Noon, Lecture Hall I, Ground Level
 Dr. Richard Wilk
Department of Anthropology, Indiana University—Bloomington
"Salt Pork and Rum in Belize: The Historical Connections between Global
Capitalism and Modern Masculinity"
On the wild fringes of the eighteenth and nineteenth century Atlantic world,
large numbers of men worked at dangerous and unrewarding jobs, herding cattle,
cutting forests, and hunting whales. It turns out these groups of men developed
a culture of their own, with its own diet, entertainments, and codes of conduct.
Beginning with a case study of buccaneers and mahogany cutters in Belize, I will
show how particular forms of consumption became part of the definition of
masculinity among these groups. I will then argue that this form of masculinity
had a major effect on modern consumer culture.

    4b) Putting the Cart before the Horse: Archaeology as a Positive Political Force
Field Museum of Natural History
Please Join Us for a Free Lecture
Thursday, October 12, 2006
Noon, Classroom A, Ground Level
Dr. K. Anne Pyburn
Department of Anthropology, Indiana University—Bloomington
"Putting the Cart before the Horse: Archaeology as a Positive Political Force"
Archaeological interpretations and heritage identity have been linked
historically to political fundamentalism with potentially violent
manifestations. Monuments that symbolize nation states in the global arena
easily become the targets of dissenting groups, and claims of historical
priority fuel ethnic competition and hatred. In this paper I consider whether
the link between claims linking the past to the political present might be
inverted, so that instead of allowing archaeology to be the pawn of political
aggression archaeologists take an active role in promoting peace. I propose that
archaeological data, archaeologists’ interpretations, and the relations between
archaeologists and the public can be employed to promote intergroup
communication and collaboration. I will illustrate this proposition with my
current research in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia.
