My latest column for 'Anthropology News' is on the power of words, focussing on
those used by archaeologists. The argument is that by their choice of words,
archaeologists are often complicit in disassociating Native Americans from
places that are important to them. I use a recent case of the government giving
permission to developers to build on (using the language of archaeology) a
"prehistoric midden, which might contain some skeletons". To the local First
Nation it is "a village that has been continuously occupied for at least three
thousand years and an associated burial ground where their ancestors lay."

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

this is impressive insight Bob that underlines how important a full five field
awareness and applied perspective really is in archaeology...so much limited or
even misdirected thought patterns were passed on by archaeologists that i
listened to for many years with simplistic so-called scientific and really
technical language and perspectives that began and ended in typologies, ranked
categories, and theft of artifact meaning from the host culture. (and seemed to
go along with a conservative political view and preference for bourbon and
chewing tobacco-so I chose to learn from the bourbon)

Colleagues,

I am seeking anthropology jokes to relax students before testing. Anyone got a
good one? I think we could all use a few laughs. :)

My students like me to read excerpts from the annaul Darwin Awards, those
people, usually men, that do stupid stuff thsat usually eliminates them
from the gene pool. It makes them, the students, feel smart.
I also used to put a Larson cartoon on my tests.

Hi Laura and all the rest of you!



I have an archaeology story (true) that I often tell before a test.  In
fact, I will be telling this one today.



It's about George Quimby who was a state archaeologist in Michigan and
then the Curator of Anthropology at the Burke Museum at the University
of Washington.  He was quite a character when I knew him.  He wore
bowties, most of them made by his wife from "the same fabric as our
kitchen curtains."  He is the only archaeologist that I know of who
named a ceramic type after a prostitute (Lulu Linear Punctate is the
label, I think).



The story he told on himself connected his college years to his later
professional status.  Apparently, in his youth he and his friends were
on a long Michigan canoe trip that required several days of camping in
the rain, without opportunity to move on.  He said that after he read
all the soup can labels many times, he got bored and started carving
designs into the abundant rocks around the camp.  Many years later, when
he became the state archaeologist, he one day received a request for
permission to excavate at a petroglyph site recently discovered by young
archaeologists.  It was the site he had created while stranded in the
rain!

Here's one (rather tame)--
    To women:  "Why would you want an archaeologist to fall in love with
you?"
          ans:  "Because, the older you become, the more he will value you."

So a physicist, a chemist, and an anthropologist are sitting in the
coffee shop when a fire breaks out in the kitchen.

Rushing in to help, the physicist and the chemist get into an argument
about how to put out the fire.

The physicist says, "The problem is that the materials are above the
heat of combustion; we must find a way to remove the heat from the system."

The chemist says, "The problem is that oxygen is supporting the act of
combustion; we must find a way to remove the supply of oxygen."

The anthropologist grabs a wet rag, throws it on the fire, and puts it out.

Then there was the anthropologist who brought home a kitten. The kitten
needed a name, so the anthropologist thought she would observe the
kitten for a while to see what a good name might be.

She noticed that the cat always sat on the lap of a human whenever one
was available.

She named the cat Sami.

(It's not really a joke; it's a true story, but probably only funny to
anthropologists.)

A coffee shop! Trying to destroy our reputations?

Not a joke, but one reason we don't rely on questionnaires. Sometimes you can
ask the wrong questions - "On a scale of one to 10, what's your favorite color
in the alphabet?"

Variation:  the fire breaks out in a trash can in the faculty dining room at the
University of you choice.  The chemist closes the window to cut off the oxygen
going to the fire. The physicist opens the window to drop the temperature.

The anthropologist dumps a pitcher of ice water on the fire then dumps the trash
can and sorts the burned remains by size, composition, degree of scorching. Etc

The caveman surgeon is ready to start the operation.  He turns to the nurse and
says "Pass the simple tools."

The cannibal chief sends his warriors out to get dinner.  They catch a
missionary and bring him back.  The warriors say "Chief we got a missionary. 
Should we boil him?"  The chief says "No you idiots, he's a friar."

PS: Cannibal jokes are the best; there are lots of clean ones.  Larson jokes, of

This is an update from Dennis Kellogg, who attended Bev's funeral several days
ago.

    We went to Bev's memorial service yesterday afternoon and it was vintage
Beverly ….music by James Taylor ( Fire and Rain ) , the Byrds, ( Turn, Turn,
Turn ), Buffy Ste Marie, Judy Collins, Paul Simon.  Over 200 attended and there
was standing room only if you came 10 minutes before the service began.  Lloyd
and the family was there.  Lloyd came in on crutches but was assisted by his
son, Sam.  You could tell he was not comfortable and on pain relievers but was
aware of what was going on.  He has aged a bit due to this but he was able to
stand in the reception line and greet people.  I had to give him a" lite hug" ,
remembering that he has two broken ribs ( been there done that a few times
myself ).  I told him to get ready for a tsunami of cards and messages from his
SACC family.  His eyes moistened shook his head in appreciation and meekly
smiled.  At this point I wouldn't make any plans to see him in Austin and if he
does it won't be on a motorcycle.

Colleagues,

I have been asked to remind all AAA members to please vote on the revision to
the ethics code. It is just one click: yay or nay, with the document available

Hi All:

I have been asked to represent SACC at a Roundtable Session entitled
"Without Boundaries? Gender Equity in Anthropology."  (It is sponsored by
CoGEA – Committee on Gender Equity in Anthropology--and will be on
Thursday, Nov 15 at 10:15 am.)

  In order to be a good representative of SACC, please let me know some of
the concerns common for our section on the topic of gender equity. For
instance:

    - ·         What should or could be the key initiatives to advocate for
    and educate our membership on gender equity.
    - ·         What is purview of gender equity monitoring?
    - ·         What are the advocacy priorities for the promotion of gender
    equity in our discipline?
    - ·         What are the most vulnerable sites for gender inequities
    where anthropologists work and learn?
    - ·         What are the particular concerns for SACC’s membership on
    gender equity?
    - ·         Do you have any suggestions for continued consultation on
    gender equity?

Feel free to comment on any (or all) of the questions.



Thanks,

Washington Post articles on gender gap in pay scale

One year out of college, women already paid less than men, report finds

Study finds a gender gap in pay among recent college graduates

By Jenna Johnson, The Washington Post  Oct. 24, 2012

Women are attending college at higher rates than men, graduating in greater
numbers and earning higher grades. Yet one year after graduation, women were
making only 82 percent of what their male colleagues were paid, according to a
report by the American Association of University Women set to be released
Wednesday.

Nearly every occupation has long paid men more than women, despite laws aimed at
narrowing and dissolving the differences. Often the gap is attributed to men
picking careers with higher salaries, women slowing their careers after having
children and differences in work experience. The AAUW researchers decided to
look at workers when they are most similar - freshly done with their
undergraduate studies, lacking vast experience and unlikely to have spouses or
children.

They focused on those who graduated during the 2007-08 school year, zeroed in on
full-time workers and studied what they earned in 2009, one year after
graduation. The women made only 82 percent of what the men were paid, with the
average woman making $35,296 while men were paid an average of $42,918.

The report relied on data from an Education Department survey of about 15,000
college graduates via Web or telephone surveys.

Even when men and women had the same majors, there were often gaps in pay. The
researchers found that female business majors earned an average of slightly more
than $38,000, while men earned just over $45,000. In engineering, technology,
computer science and social sciences fields, researchers found that women made
between 77 percent and 88 percent of what their male colleagues were paid. (The
health-care and education fields were credited for paying men and women about
the same.)

But the overall gap - the 18-percentage-point disparity - could be explained by
career choices; men are more likely to enter high-paying fields such as
engineering and computer science. The researchers controlled for that, along
with other variables, but an "unexplained" 6.6-percentage-point gap remained.

"This pay gap is not merely the result of women's choices," researchers
Christianne Corbett and Catherine Hill wrote in their report, "Graduating to a
Pay Gap." "Lower earnings have an immediate effect after college, setting into
motion a chain of disparities that will follow women throughout their careers."

One of those disparities: If women earn less, they will have a harder time
repaying their student loans, a "significant and growing problem," the
researchers wrote. For the Class of 2008, the average amount of student loan
debt was about $20,000, an amount that didn't vary much between the genders,
although women were more likely than men to have taken out loans.

The researchers put forward suggestions for reducing the pay gap, including
encouraging women to pursue careers in higher-paying fields and to negotiate
higher pay.

"A problem as long-standing and widespread as the pay gap, however, cannot be
solved by the actions of individual women alone," the researchers wrote.
"Employers and the government have important roles to play. The pay gap has been
part of the workplace so long that it has become simply normal."


Posted at 01:36 PM ET, 10/24/2012 The Washington Post Starting salaries: How can
women catch up with the guys?
By Jenna Johnson

The American Association of University Women released a report today showing
that one year after graduating college, men already made more money than women.

Overall, the pay gap was 18 percent. When adjusting for different career choices
and other variables, the gap was 6.6 percent. (You can read more here: "One year
out of college, women already paid less than men, report finds.")

In addition to explaining the gap and possible reasons for it, the association's
researchers also gave a list of recommendations for narrowing and dissolving the
gap. The researchers advocated for employers to increase transparency in their
pay and evaluation systems, along with urging policy makers to strength and pass
pay equity laws, protect Pell grant funding and protect students from
questionable loans.

They noted: "A problem as long-standing and widespread as the pay gap, however,
cannot be solved by the actions of individual women alone. Employers and the
government have important roles to play."

But they also laid out a number of things that students and others can do. Here
are a few, which I pulled directly from chapter four of the report, "Graduating
to a Pay Gap":

High school and college students
* Educate yourself about typical salaries for various college majors. Consider
future earnings when making the critical decision of college major. Your choice
will affect the economic security of you and your family throughout your
lifetime.
* If you must borrow money for college, educate yourself about the terms
associated with public and private student loans. Exhaust your federal borrowing
options before considering more risky private student loans.
*Attend a $tart $mart salary negotiation workshop at a campus near you.

I've just finished grading some tests for my biological anth class. I thought
I'd share some gems of answers.

Describing the characteristics of primates: "Primates have plausible thumbs"

Describing genetics: "An allele is the ultimate form of a gene"

Describing Darwin's Theory: "Those with flavorable variations produce more
offspring"
