From chacmool at ucalgary.ca Wed Nov 4 11:49:25 2009 From: chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool) Date: Wed Nov 4 11:49:32 2009 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Upcoming Events, Need More Help, and Beer Message-ID: <002401ca5d7f$883365e0$989a31a0$@ca> Greetings Chacmool, We've overcome some technical difficulties in regards to sending information out to all members, so hopefully this time there will be no one missing out. Several things coming our way, so here's a numbered list to keep track of them: 1) Chacmool Conference (see attached preliminary program): We still need lots of help with the conference during 12-15 November (end of reading days). There are signup sheets outside the Chacmool office and a description of all jobs needing to be filled. This is not hard work, folks, and the payback is solid. Sign up ASAP. Work one shift and get a day of conference free; two shifts and the whole conference is free. Send an email with the subject line "Volunteer" to chaconf@ucalgary.ca for further details . . . note that this is NOT chacmool@ucalgary.ca 2) Chacmool meeting at 5:30 on Thursday, November 5th, at The Den. Be there or . . . don't get any free beer. This is a good time to have a good time. 3) Noon hour lecture on Wednesday . . . Great Spanish wine to be raffled. It's not too late to get tickets . . . just show up to the noon hour lecture in ES 859 and purchase yours tomorrow! Noon hour is on Ancient Infant and Child Feeding Practices of Ancient Hunter-Gatherers of the Lake Baikal Region. 4) Lecture on "2012: Debunking the Mayan Doomsday 5) Field trip to Grotto Canyon pictographs, tentatively planned for Saturday, November 21st. If the weather's great, then great. If it's been snowing, then we'll be renting snowshoes for the group. William Swan has been gracious enough to set this up, so let him know if you wish to attend and if you need a ride or can provide one: swanwill@hotmail.com. It'll be a short hike followed by some pub time in Calgary . . . you can't afford to miss an opportunity for exercise like this. 6) Next Year's Chacmool Conference: We need some topics to vote on during the conference this year so that people know what we'll be up to next year. If you have an idea for a topic, please let us know at chacmool@ucalgary.ca. Once you have a topic in mind, bring it to our attention for the next steps which we'll help you out with. In addition to a topic, you'll need to gather the support of 2 faculty, 5 undergrads to organize the conference, a list of 10 possible plenary speaker, and 10 possible session topics. Don't worry, sounds like a lot, but we'll help you through the process. Hope to hear from you or see you all soon (Thursday = BEER), Lance Evans President, Chacmool Archaeological Association -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am hoping that many of you will continue your support and help make the 2010 conference a success. The title of the conference will be: "Archaeology in the Public Zone: Towards an Accessible Discipline". The first official meeting will be Friday, December 4th at 2 PM in ES 859. I am well aware of how busy everyone is at this time of year, so the meeting will be short and to the point. The main intentions of this meeting will be to: - Discuss the roles of all volunteer and advisor positions - Go over important Conference dates for the next 12 months - Assign volunteer positions for the most pressing jobs I hope to see all of you there, Jamie Eddy Chair - 2010 Chacmool Conference
