From Chacmool at ucalgary.ca Fri Sep 16 23:31:40 2011 From: Chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool Archaeology Association) Date: Fri Sep 16 23:32:13 2011 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Welcome back (and what's ahead) Message-ID: Welcome back Chacmoolians! We hope you?re all settling comfortably back into the classroom routine, and looking forward to a great semester ahead. We have grand plans for the upcoming year, and hope to get everyone out and involved in a plethora of archaeology-related (sometimes somewhat flimsily) events and activities. After giving you a nice week to get back into the swing of things, we?re here to welcome you back to the archaeology community here at the U of C. This coming Wednesday (September 21), in ES 162 the ASA will be presenting Dr. Nancy Lovell from the University of Alberta and her talk ?Deviant Burial in the Archaeological Record?. The talk begins at 7:30 PM, and refreshments will be provided courtesy of the ASA. The noon hour lectures are back again, and the semester begins with Dr. Nic David presenting ?The Archaeology of the Intangible: Monumentality in Cameroon? which will be held on Wednesday, September 21 at noon (turns out the title ?Noon Hour Lectures? wasn?t just a coincidence!) in ES 859. As always, we?re on the lookout for volunteers to help out by bringing some tasty treats for everyone. Sign-up sheets will be posted outside of the Chacmool office (ES 826). The club website is up and running again, complete with our newly updated office hours; but keep a close eye on it, as it will quickly be our go-to posterboard for upcoming events, talks, special offers, etc. And on the topics of events: the Annual Chacmool Wine and Cheese event is back again! Join us on Friday, September 30th in room ES 859 at 7:00 PM ? 10:00 PM and partake in a friendly, casual meet and greet with fellow archaeology students, undergrad and grad alike. And as a special welcome back to all of you with Chacmool memberships: your first glass of wine is on us! Clubs week is on us again, and there is no better time to renew your membership. Come drop by our booth in Mac Hall and say hi, get to know the new executives, and find out what?s on the roster for the coming year. The annual Chacmool Archaeological Conference is on the horizon once again, and this year?s focus is ?Climates of Change?. As ever, the conference promises to be a blast, with academics coming from all over the world to present the latest in archaeological research and to share their ideas; a wonderful place to learn and connect, and to become a part of the archaeological community. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has put out a call for posters for their poster competition. Information can be found directly on their website at http://www.aaas.org/meetings/2012/program/posters/#student. The cut-off date is 11:59 p.m. PT, 24 October 2011. That?s all for now, but keep a weather eye on the website, and you?ll be hearing from us soon enough. Feel free to drop by our office (ES 826) and say hi, and we hope to see you at the Wine and Cheese. Best of luck in the coming semester! ~Chacmool Archaeology Association From Chacmool at ucalgary.ca Fri Sep 23 23:25:14 2011 From: Chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool Archaeology Association) Date: Fri Sep 23 23:25:31 2011 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Wine & Cheese Message-ID: <942ddb6747de3f1866188c9b6b13c358.squirrel@webmail.ucalgary.ca> Hello Chacmoolians, This coming Friday (September 30) will be host to our annual Chacmool Wine & Cheese Party in ES 859 (8th floor of the Earth Sciences building) from 5-8 PM. We will supply a variety of wines, cheeses, and other assorted snacks in a more relaxed setting, allowing everyone to move around and meet the professors, grad students, and undergraduates, old and new. This is a great opportunity to get to know people in the department, and start to get a feel for where your own archaeological career might take you. The snacks will be free, and the first glass of wine for Chacmool members is on us. Doors open at 5, and we hope to see you all there! ~Chacmool Archaeology Society From Chacmool at ucalgary.ca Thu Sep 29 16:58:01 2011 From: Chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool Archaeology Association) Date: Thu Sep 29 16:58:15 2011 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Wine & Cheese: Tomorrow 5-8 PM, ES 859 Message-ID: <9fe4ca7e574081c781bac2cee3dde598.squirrel@webmail.ucalgary.ca> Hello Chacmoolians, Just a final reminder for our opening event of the semester, this Friday (September 30) at 5-8 PM in Earth Sciences 859.
