Here's whats happening thins week, 1.Free Coffee 2.Call For Conference topics 3. Anarky Talk 1. Free Coffee Chacmool has decided to offer its members free coffee since you all are so wonderful and donate tha k-cups. So if you need a caffeine pick me up stop by ES826 and bring your mug. 2. Call for conference Topics With the 47th Annual Archaeology Conference less than a week away, we are already searching for people who want to become the Chair(s) for next years conference. This is a position that requires a major commitment starting almost immediately after this upcoming conference. However, being the Chair of the 48th Annual Conference will look OUTSTANDING on any resume for jobs or graduate school down the road. If you have ideas on a topic for next years conference, you can get in contact with us or talk to any Archaeology faculty member (I know Dr. McCafferty has a few ideas if you don't have your own). Remember, this is your chance to get a step up over competition for Graduate school (it is not just GPA), or to show any employer that you have what it takes, and you can network like crazy with archaeologists from all over the world! The Template will be posted outside the Chacmool Office (ES826) 3. Anarky Talk Next up, one of our alumni, Sarah Horsfall, will be returning to our halls to give an ANARKY Talk entitled "From Grave to Courtroom: The Social Life of Forensic Evidence in Post-Civil War Guatemala" on Wednesday, November 5th from 12:00 to 1:00 pm in ES 859. The Kula Ring will be providing snacks. That's all for now -Chacmool -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We'd like to send out a special thanks to this years conference committee and its volunteers for putting on such a fantastic conference. This is just a quick reminder that our field school workshop will be taking place tomorrow in ES 859 from 12-1. This is a great way to learn about you options and why it's important to do a field school during your university career. Sadly there will be no Anarky talk this week due to the department meeting but there are other great talks happening that everyone should check out. We have attached the posters below. As well there a really neat field school happening in Peru. Though not directly archaeology its topics offer a great way to become more engaged with our global community.

For those members of our department who are not familiar with the Cluny site, this is an ANARKY Talk that you cannot miss! This important historical landmark in Alberta has been studied by UofC archaeologists since the 1960s and is the current location of the annual UofC archaeological fieldschool, as well as our public archaeological program! PS. The call for the next Chacmool Conference is being put out again due to unforeseen circumstances. More details to follow. -Chacmool -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Here's what's required You have until Friday November 28 at 4 pm to submit your proposal to us! Proposals will be voted on by Chacmool members Monday December 1 so even if you don?t submit be sure to come by the office on Monday to read over the proposals and get your vote in, we will be posting extended office hours closer to the vote! The topic chosen by members will be announced on Wednesday! Proposals MUST be submitted to the Chacmool office ? if one of us is not present there will be an envelope on our bulletin board you may drop your proposal in. Proposals are only valid if submitted by an UNDERGRADUATE chair who is currently and will be enrolled at University of Calgary and majoring in Archaeology during the time of the conference. A proposal should not only contain the topic and proposal but your name (the chair) and the names of your co-chairs and/or committee, the name of your graduate student advisor(s) and name of faculty advisor(s). Topic proposals should be clear, concise, and focused ? grants are given to the most focused of topics for conferences (example: Migrations of Elephants: Big Moves! Vs. Elephants Live! ? one of these is focused and would be more likely to get the great grey elephant money and one is vague and will likely be looked over by the money giving boss elephants.) Taking on the role of a conference organizer is a lot of work starting from the moment you are announced as chair so be sure you are prepared to put in oodles of work, despite the amount of work involved organizing a conference is a lot of fun and well worth the time put in! Not only is it fun but organizing a conference looks great on an academic resume, and it?s a super great honour! If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of your friendly Chacmool Executives, we can?t wait to read your proposals! We Can't wait to read over everyones submissions and best of luck! -Chacmool From chacmool at ucalgary.ca Thu Nov 27 13:22:32 2014 From: chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool Archaeology Association) Date: Thu Nov 27 13:22:50 2014 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Gingerbread Competition Message-ID: <115ae07911d32691052b2bf57207eb14.squirrel@webmail.ucalgary.ca> Hey all, This is just a quick reminder that tomorrow ( Nov 28th) is the last day to sign your team up for the gingerbread competition that is taking place next Friday.
