1) AT IUN:
1A) Anthropology Club meeting: Tuesday February 6, Savannah 207 5:30 pm
Working meeting, finalizing Darwin Day, planning spring events.
1B) THE NINTH ANNUAL IUN DARWIN DAY
A part of an International Celebration of Science and Humanities
This year's theme is "Finding the Past in the Present"
IUN Biologist Spencer Cortwright studies the small animals like salamanders
that inhabit the local grasslands and the IUN campus itself. Those studies
have led him to daydream how nice it would be to share with Darwin new evidence
and new ideas on evolution that have come on board since his death.
IUN Art Historian Adrienne Kochman, herself the daughter of an anthropologist,
sees a cyclical relationship of the present and the past in art, an evolution of
art and an evolution within art itself.
IUN and Adler Planetarium Astronomer Larry Ciupik looks at the night sky today
and sees the origin and evolution of the universe.
Hobart Minister Roger Brewin reflects on the Reverence for the Natural World
that he sees in the night sky.
12 noon to 2:00 pm
IUN Library Conference Center 105AB
134 west 35th Ave, Gary IN
Free admission, open to the public, refreshments served
IUN Darwin Day features several excellent speakers on science,

imaginable: fiction (classic to pulp), social and natural sciences, humanities,
nursing, education, etc. We'll have many not too old textbooks (and some real
old ones) to help with classes, and books on various subjects that might help or
inspire that term paper you've been putting off starting on. Stock up on summer
reading now! We will even have a few anthropology books. And ALL books are one
dollar! And there are quantity discounts! We will continue to put out more
books all week long. So come early, browse often. All books 50 cents on Friday.

Lounge adjacent to the Grille (University Center) and will include Mr. Ernest
Goforth, Mr. Steve Giegerich, Dr. Andrew Schnabel, Dr. Lyle Zynda, and Dr. Jay
VanderVeen. The event will allow students to direct questions regarding
evolution, creationism, and the origins of life to the panel. Everyone is
welcome to bring a lunch, and we will also have a birthday cake for Charles
Darwin, who would be celebrating his 198th birthday (if he weren’t so very dead).
Additionally, there is a screening of an award-winning documentary “Flock of
Dodos: The Evolution – Intelligent Design Circus” on campus on Monday, February
12 and again on Friday, February 16 at 7pm in Wiekamp Hall 1001. This is most

3) Events in and near Chicago:
3A) North Central Sociological Association
The North Central Sociological Association
(NCSA) is holding its annual meeting in Chicago from April 4-7, 2007;
early registration is available until March 2, 2007.
We are very excited about this meeting because it is a joint meeting with
the Midwest Sociological Society. The theme for the joint meeting is
“Social Policy, Social Ideology, and Social Change.” You can learn more
about the meeting, join the NCSA, register for the hotel, and register for
the meeting on-line at
http://www.ncsanet.org.
We invite you, your students, and your colleagues to attend the
conference. You may know the NCSA through its journal, Sociological
Focus. The journal, which includes articles on a wide range of
sociological topics, is published quarterly. What you may not realize is
that over the past decade, the NCSA has gained a reputation for promoting
teaching excellence; approximately 25 percent of the sessions are devoted
to the subject of teaching sociology, with an emphasis on preparing future
faculty, professional development, and outcomes assessment. Additionally,
the conference serves as a venue for the annual recognition of excellence
in scholarly achievement, contributions to teaching, distinguished
service, and outstanding student papers at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. The annual conference also features a variety of research
sessions, panels, didactic seminars, and keynote speakers of national
prominence. The conference is an excellent forum for sharing current
research with peers and colleagues; indeed, young professionals and
students indicate that they find value in the collegial relations and
interchange that occurs at our conference.
The NCSA serves as the official regional voice of the profession in
relations with the public, with the American Sociological Association, and
other professional organizations throughout Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Kentucky, West Virginia, Eastern Illinois, Western Pennsylvania, and the
Canadian province of Ontario. We believe you will discover that
membership in the NCSA offers you an excellent source of support for your
work and participation in shaping the future direction of sociology in the
region. We hope to see you, your colleagues, and your students at our
meeting in Chicago. Once again, please visit our website at
http://www.ncsanet.org to learn more about the meetings and the
organization. We believe that you will find the association to be both a
professional investment and personally rewarding. If you have questions
about the association, or ways in which you can participate, please do not
hesitate to contact either Marty Jendrek (
jendremp@muohio.edu) at
513-529-2636 or Bruce Keith (

http://www.rla.unc.edu/teaching/mocheicon/index.html
Earn 6 semester hours of UNC-CH credit for Anthropology 453, Field
School in South American Archaeology. No prerequisites.
PROGRAM
The field school is designed to provide students with training in
archaeological excavation, survey, and laboratory methods as well as
instruction in the prehistory of Peru. Fieldwork involves the
excavation of prehistoric households and archaeological survey.
Excavations focus on a sample of elite and commoner dwellings at the
sites of Ciudad de Dios and Cerro León in the middle Moche Valley on the
north coast of Peru. Both sites date to the Early Intermediate Period
(400 BC-AD 700). Ciudad de Dios consists of a series of massive elite
domestic compounds and small commoner dwellings on five narrow ridgetops
above the valley floor. Excavations in elite compounds in 1997 through
2000 revealed abundant Moche fineware and plainware ceramics, stone
tools, metal objects, and organic refuse. Cerro León is located across
the valley from Ciudad de Dios on a hilltop. Thousands of domestic
dwellings, including many large elite domestic compounds, are clustered
on the steep, upper slopes of the hill, and a fortified refuge is
located above the domestic area on the top of the hill roughly 200 m
above the valley floor. Pottery from the site indicates that highland
immigrants to the middle valley may have occupied Cerro León. In
addition to excavation, we will conduct archaeological survey in the
upper Moche Valley. Students also work on the survey crew and learn how
to find, record, and map archaeological sites.
Fieldwork and laboratory analysis are conducted five days a week.
Students excavate and record structures and trash deposits. In
addition, students spend one session finding and recording prehistoric
sites in the foothills of the Andes. Workshops on the analysis of
ceramic, lithic, and organic remains are conducted at the start of the
field school. Students assist in the processing and analysis of
collections recovered during the field season. In addition to gaining
hands-on training in excavation techniques, laboratory analysis, and
database management, students are actively engaged in implementing the
project research design. Through excavation, analysis, readings, and
group discussions, we examine how ethnicity, class, and economic
relationships are manifested in household remains.
Brian Billman conducts tours of local museums and archaeological sites,
including Chan Chan, Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna, El Brujo, and
Cerro Oreja, on Saturdays. Sundays is unscheduled free time.
TRAVEL
In addition to field and lab work, the program includes a 4-day trip to
the highland town of Cajamarca.
LOCATION
The field school is based in Huanchaco, a pleasant fishing village and
beach resort just a few kilometers outside of Trujillo, a large city on
the north coast of Peru. Students live in a hotel in Huanchaco and are
provided with group meals six days a week. Beaches are located across
the street from the hotel, and the Andes mountains and numerous
world-renowned archaeological sites are close by for free-time activities.
ABOUT THE MOCHE ORIGINS PROJECT
The field school is part of the Moche Origins Project directed by Brian
Billman and Jesús Briceño (Instituto Nacional de Cultura). The project
goal is to examine how highland-coastal relationships, social
stratification, and warfare influenced the development of the Southern
Moche state. Beginning in 1997, the project involves household
excavations, analysis of collections of human remains, ceramic sourcing,
and environmental reconstruction. Flourishing from AD 200-800, the
Southern Moche state was a highly centralized, hierarchically organized
political system in which leaders exercised considerable economic,
military, and ideological power. Leaders of the state directed the
construction of some of the largest public monuments in the Americas,
led the conquest of neighboring valleys, and organized the production of
finely-crafted ceramics, textiles, and metal objects. Although one of
the largest and most complex prehistoric political systems in the
Americas, the origins and socioeconomic structure of the Southern Moche
state are poorly understood.
COSTS
$3,685* covers instructional fees, Study Abroad fees, lodging, three
meals a day six days a week, all site and museum entrance fees, health
insurance, and a four-day tour of the highland town of Cajamarca. Cost
does not include airfare to Peru, transportation to Huanchaco, passport
fees, meals on Sundays, laundry service, or personal expenses.
APPLICATION
Enrollment is open to UNC-CH students and students from other colleges
and universities. Out-of-state students pay the same fees and tuition
as in-state students. No prerequisites. Spanish is not required.
Space is limited to 11 students.
APPLY ONLINE AT:
