2 Chairman’s Introduction

Seth J. Masters Chairman, Board of Trustees Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

This Wenner-Gren 2012 annual report documents the work the Foundation does to promote anthropological research around the world. Our Foundation staff, led by President Leslie Aiello, is both expanding Wenner-Gren’s established grant-making programs, and launching a number of promising new initiatives.

As this report documents, 2012 set a new record for the number of applications for Wenner- Gren funding. In addition, our efforts to continue globalizing our programs and increasing the Foundation’s presence on the internet have been bearing fruit. We are excited about the potential these initiatives have to increase Wenner-Gren’s reach and impact for anthropologists around the world.

As always, Wenner-Gren funds its operations and programs from the investment returns achieved on its endowment. Amidst volatile capital markets, Wenner-Gren's Investment and Budget Committee has delivered superior long-term investment returns with relatively low risk. As a result, the Foundation remains strong, and is positioned to pursue its mission for the foreseeable future.

Finally, Wenner-Gren's ability to keep abreast of the issues facing anthropology would not be possible without the efforts of its dedicated staff, and the strong support from the community we serve. I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the past and present Wenner- Gren Advisory Council members, as well as to the many anthropologists who have participated in the Foundation's programs and activities.

3 President’s Report

Leslie C. Aiello, President

2012 was a year in which the Foundation focused on increased engagement with the field through our grant programs, social media, and our journal, Current Anthropology. Our core grant programs attract- ed almost 1500 applications, a record number. We also introduced a number of initiatives focusing on the history of the Foundation, leading up to the Foundation’s 75th anniversary in 2016. We are pleased that the Foundation continues its mission to provide significant support for Anthropology.

One of our main engagement initiatives in 2012 was the launch of the Wenner-Gren Engaged Anthropology Grant (EAG). This program provides funds for past grantees to return to their research locale and disseminate the results of their research in the most appropriate manner. There is a recognized need for this type of program in Anthropology and we have been impressed with the enthusiasm that greeted the program launch as well as with the diversity of proposed engagement projects submitted at the first deadline, May 1, 2012. The reporting requirements for this grant include a posting for the Foundation’s blog, which provides an excellent opportunity for the grantees to publicize their research and their engagement activities. It also acts to raise the profile of the Foundation as a significant contributor to this important area of anthropological ethics.

We have also introduced other initiatives to reinforce our social media presence and now have just under 1500 twitter followers and 1000 Facebook likes. Some of our new initiatives include blogging about upcoming Foundation-funded conferences, audio recordings of our Wenner-Gren/New York Academy of Sciences seminar meetings, and audio interviews with our Wenner-Gren Symposium organizers. Daniel Salas, the Foundation’s Communications Assistant, continues to blog and tweet about the Foundation and all aspects of the broader discipline. His efforts are rapidly becoming a central feature of anthropology’s online life.

There have also been a number of initiatives for Current Anthropology. We have been working with Mark Aldenderfer, CA’s editor, and with University of Chicago Press to increase the number of major papers that can be published annually and thereby to improve the acceptance rate for the journal. At present many good papers must be rejected because there is simply no space to publish them. We have also been working on ways to move towards more open-access material in the subscription- based journal. This has been encouraged by the outstanding success of the open-access Wenner- Gren Symposium Supplementary issues of CA, which top the CA rankings in issue and individual article access. Initiatives include editor’s choice open access articles in each CA issue and an article pro- cessing fee of $400 (payable by the author) for open-access availability.

4 President’s Report, continued

We have also been focusing on the Foundation’s history. The main event in this area was a two -day symposium co-sponsored by the Swedish Wenner-Gren Foundations and ourselves (May 30-31, 2012) on “Reality and Myth: A Symposium on Axel Wenner-Gren“ held at the Wenner- Gren Center in Stockholm, Sweden (see: http://wennergren.org/history/-story-and-people- wenner-gren/people-wenner-gren/axel-wenner-gren). This meeting grew out of research into the politics of Axel Wenner-Gren carried out by Ilja Luciak (Professor of Political Science, Virginia Tech) and provided the welcome opportunity for the Swedish and New York foundations, which have been largely independent throughout their existences, to make contact and discuss common areas of interest.

Furthermore, we have commissioned two historians of science, Professor Susan Lindee (Penn State) and Dr. Joanna Radin (Yale) to write the definitive history of the Foundation and its impact on the field of anthropology. This is scheduled to appear as part of a Current Anthropology special issue for the 75th anniversary in 2016. Other historical initiatives include a grant to Edgar Krebs (Smithsonian Institution) to research the ethnographic films and collections of material culture by Paul Fejos, the Foundation’s first Director of Research. Fejos was a well-known filmmaker in the 1920s and 30s and we are developing plans to show his films at ethnographic film festivals in the anniversary year. Connected with this are plans to introduce a new fellowship in his honor, the Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ethnographic Film.

The Foundation continues to sponsor Wenner-Gren Symposia on “big” questions in Anthro- pology. In 2012, the following two meetings were held: 1) “Alternative Pathways to Complexity: Evolutionary Trajectories in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age” organized by Steven L. Kuhn (University of Arizona) and Erella Hovers (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and held June 1-8, 2012 at Häringe Slott Palace, near Stockholm, Sweden; and 2) "Crisis, Value, and Hope: Rethinking the Economy" organized by Susana Narotzky (Universitat de Barcelona) and Niko Besnier (University of Amsterdam) and held September 14-20, 2012, at Tivoli Palácio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal.

More about the Foundation activities in 2012 can be found under the “Program Highlights” section of this annual report. However, I would particularly like to congratulate the 2012 recipient of the Institutional Development Grant, the Department of Social Anthropology, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. I would also like to congratulate the 2012 Wadsworth Fellows (Resto I Sirios Cruz, Ezgi Guner, Albino Pereira de Jesus Jopela, Ana Morales, Jose Raul Ortiz Vallejos, and Habtamu Mekonnen Taddesse) as well as the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellows (Drs. Hayder Al-Mohammad, Nikhil Anand, Sireen El Zaatari, Lars Fogelin, Arthur Corea Mason, Shaylih Ryan Muehlmann, Nico Tassi, and Carolyn Louise White) These programs are highly selective and we are pleased to be able to support these outstanding scholars at the beginning of their careers in Anthropology.

2012 was a busy and rewarding year for the Foundation, and I would like to thank our Board of Trustees and Academic Advisory Council members for their continued support in insuring that the Foundation continues to fulfill the needs of the discipline. I would also like to give special thanks to the Wenner-Gren staff who work behind the scenes to make sure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. And finally we could not operate without our team of over 60 international reviewers and panelist who endeavor to guarantee that our support goes to the best, most creative and most unique projects and thereby help to shape the future course of the discipline of Anthropology.

Leslie C. Aiello President Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

5 Program Highlights

Program highlights for 2012 include: the creation of a new funding program (Engaged Anthropology Grants); the announcement of a new Institutional Development Grant; eight new Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships; the selection of six international scholars to train under our Wadsworth International and African Fellowship programs; the awarding of 160 research grants to students and established scholars under our Dissertation Fieldwork, Post-Ph.D. Research and International Collaborative Research Grant programs; and support for 30 conferences and workshops.

Engaged Anthropology Grants The Engaged Anthropology Grant is an new initiative created to provide Wenner-Gren Dissertation Fieldwork and Post-Ph.D. Research grantees with the opportunity to return to their research locale to share their research results with:the community in which the research was conducted, and/or the academic/anthropological community in the region or country of research.

Emphasis is on disseminating the research results of Wenner-Gren funded research and applications are evaluated according to the project’s capacity for producing engaged participation, cultivating mutually beneficial collaborations, and forging equitable relationships among all parties involved. Fifteen Engage Anthropology Grants were awarded in its first season; details of the grants awarded can be found on page 51.

Institutional Development Grants The Foundation has had a long-standing interest in the international development of anthropology. The Institutional Development Grant program’s purpose is to support the growth and development of anthropological doctoral programs in countries where the discipline is underrepresented and where there are limited resources for academic development. The grant provides $25,000 per year and is renewable for a maximum of five years, providing a total of $125,000.

2012 IDG Recipient: Addis Ababa University Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

The 2012 Institutional Development Grant was awarded to Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Department of Social Anthropology at Addis Ababa University has three programs: (undergraduate, MA and Ph.D.) with sixteen instructors and an enrollment of 350 students. Of the four subdisciplines, the department concentrates on social anthropology, with research interests including ethnohistory, development anthropology, medical anthropology, ecological anthropology, and urban anthropology.

Anthropology began as an academic program in Ethiopia in 1990 when what was then the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology at Addis Ababa University opened a Masters program in Social Anthropology in cooperation with Christian Michelsen Institute of Norway. The central focus of anthropology in Ethiopia has been describing, analyzing, and documenting socio-cultural dynamisms in the country, with a key concern being how this social science can emerge as a strong discipline producing competent scholars in a political environment that visibly favors natural sciences and technology

This Institutional Development Grant will enable the Department of Social Anthropology at Addis Ababa University to improve the theoretical and methodological training of Ph.D. students; intensify international exposure and exchange; improve the quality of anthropological training by bringing in established scholars from abroad; upgrade the curriculum in consultation with partner institutions; provide modest support for student field research; and build up library and electronic resources.

6 Program Highlights

UPDATES from Prior IDG Recipients

Institutional Development Grants provide $25,000 per year and are renewable for a maximum of five years providing a total of $125,000. The following updates summarize the accomplishments and progress of current recipients of IDG funding.

2011 IDG Recipient: Vietnam National University Hanoi, Vietnam

In the first year of the IDG grant for the Vietnam National University. construction of the department’s web site was completed and a successful research seminar series was held. Members of the department faculty carried out planning and preparation for a doctoral training program, which was submitted to the VNU Director for assessment and approval. IDG funding was also used to organize a workshop in May 2012, that included three international participants from University of Toronto, Australian National University, and the University of Kyoto, as well as over 30 participants from VNU Ha Noi, VNU Ho Chi Minh City, Hue University, Vietnam Institute of Ethnology, Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, and the Vietnam Association of Anthropology and Ethnology, among others. The new Department web site (http:// nhanhoc.edu.vn ) is linked to other University web sites in Vietnam, to promote scholarly networking and inter-institutional exchange.

2010 IDG Recipient: University of the Philippines Quezon, Philippines

In its second year, the graduate studies program at the University of the Philippines in Quezon shifted its focus from establishing the Human Osteology Laboratory to developing the Archaeobotany/ Palynology Laboratory and supporting a PhD student in this specialization. Emil Robles was the recipient of the 2012 PhD research grant, to pursue his thesis research entitled: “Ancient Landscapes and Cultures in Palawan and Cagayan Valley: GIS Perspectives.” At the beginning of the year, the program acquired a biological microscope and centrifuge to be used in a planned methods workshop. “Palaeoenvironmental Research Grounded in Palaeobotanical Approaches” was held July 9-14, 2012 at the Plant and Sediment Laboratory of ASP, and was facilitated by that year’s Specialist Fellow, Dr. Anne Marie Semab, Seven Filipino students (two from the personnel at the National Museum of the Phillippines) as well as two students from Southeast Asia —:Ms. Nontarat Nimsuwan from Silpakorn University, Thailand, and Ms. Ayu Dipta Kirana from Gadja Mada University in Indonesia — participated in the workshop.

UPDATES from Prior IDG Recipients

2009 IDG Recipient: Tribhuvan University Kathmandu, Nepal

2012 was the third year of the Dor Bahadur Bista Project for Advanced Training in Anthropology, which is being carried out in collaboration with Cornell University. Professors Holmberg and March travelled from Cornell to Tribhuvan University in May 2012 for a meeting of the IDG-WG committee that was held in connection with a one-day seminar in which past recipients of the IDG field research fellowships and faculty research grants made presentations based on their research findings. The IDG-WG committee reviewed the achievements of the academic year 2011-2012 and made recommendations for the coming year.

One of the major highlights of 2011-2012 was the initiation of M.Phil. classes for anthropology students. This marked the transition of the doctoral program from a research-only degree to one that includes classroom-based research and theoretical training. Two students from Tribhuvan University have now had the opportunity to study at Cornell. The first student has just completed his doctorate at TU and the second is making good progress towards completion. Both stress the invaluable opportunity provided to them through the IDG program for exposure to the academic environment at Cornell. A third student is currently studying at Cornell. Grants were also made from the IDG budget for travel awards for Faculty to present papers at international anthropological conferences, for Faculty Research Fellowships and Field Research Fellowships. Plans for 2012-2013 are as indicated in their original IDG budget, however emphasis will be placed on regular research seminars and on study and writing time in the US and particularly at Cornell.

2008 IDG Recipient: Anthropological Doctoral Program Museum of Anthropology National University of Cordoba (Argentina)

In its fourth year of IDG funding, the Anthropological Doctoral Program is focused primarily on the training of students, ac- complished through course work (taught by local and guest instructors), research seminars, and fieldwork carried out by the students. With additional funding supplied by Mecosur and the National Ministry of Science and Technology, IDG support enabled eight international professors to visit the department to teach courses along side faculty from the Museo de Antropologia, the University of Buenos Aires, the National University of Jujuy, and Maimónides University in Buenos Aires.

IDG support allowed the department to hold a two-day student symposium for presentation of research, as well as to award six research grants ($1,000 each) for outstanding student fieldwork. IDG funding was also instrumental in winning a Mercosur bi-national grant with our IDG partner, Universidad Federal de Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to further strengthen the doctoral program. Three fellowships will enable students to take courses in Rio in early 2013.

2008 IDG Recipient: Dept. of Social and Cultural Anthropology School of Social Sciences University of Mongolia

The fourth year of IDG support emphasized fully establishing the doctoral program Two members from the University of Cambridge’s Department of Anthropology faculty, Dr. David Sneath and Dr. U.E. Dulag, visited the School of Social Sciences to serve as external members of the Oversight Committee, and evaluated the progress of the program’s doctoral students. Drs. Sneath and Dulag also participated in an international conference on “Mongolia in Anthropological Research: Recent Decades,” which was sponsored by the International Association for Mongolian Studies and included participants from the UK, USA, Japan, France, Austria, China, and Mongolia.

The extensively redesigned doctoral program now has a specific focus on Mongolian and Inner Asian anthropology. Dr. Sneath taught a course on “Schools and Styles in Anthropology” (funded by the Academic Fellowship Program of the Open Society Institute) and two interdisciplinary courses were taught by Dr. D. Bayarsaikhan, who recently completed his doctorate in the history of the middle ages. The University of Mongolia had planned to send two doctoral students to Cambridge in 2012, however one had to delay her visit until February 2013. Topics of research undertaken by doctoral students re- ceiving IDG support include leadership and politics of Mongolian Buddhism and the institutionalization and politicization of Mongolian traditional art and music.

Wenner-Gren Symposia Overview

Wenner-Gren Symposia are week-long workshops that involve a small group of invited scholars who meet for intensive discussion and debate that address “big” questions in anthropology. Symposia are administered and fully supported (both financially and logistically) by the Foundation, and are based on a format that was developed and refined at Burg Wartenstein castle, the Foundation’s European conference center from 1958 to 1980.

Wenner-Gren symposia are held at venues in the US and abroad that allow for an intimate meeting in a congenial environment with minimal distraction. The Foundation tries to sponsor two symposia each year with the papers published in an open-access supplementary issue of the Foundation’s journal, Current Anthropology.

The following two Wenner-Gren Symposia were held in 2012.

“AlternaƟve Pathways to Complexity: EvoluƟonary Trajectories in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age” June 1-8, 2012 Häringe Slott Palace, Stockholm, Sweden.

Organized by Steven L. Kuhn (University of Arizona) and Erella Hovers (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem).

A detailed description of “Alternative Pathways to Complexity” can be found on page 14.

"Crisis, Value, and Hope: Rethinking the Economy" September 14-20, 2012 Tivoli Palácio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal

Organized by Susana Narotzky (Universitat de Barcelona) and Niko Besnier (University of Amsterdam).

A detailed description of “Crisis, Value, and Hope” can be found on page 18.

Wenner-Gren Symposium Publications and Current Anthropology

The Foundation now publishes the results of its symposia as supplementary issues of Current Anthropology, and is pleased to make them freely available to online readers as open-access publications. In 2012, the following two supplementary issues were published, bringing the total number of Wenner-Gren Symposium supplementary issues to six.

“The Biological Anthropology of Living Human Populations: World Histories, National Styles, and International Networks” Guest editors: M. Susan Lindee (U. Pennsylvania, USA) and Ricardo Ventura Santos (Museu Nacional & Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Brazil), published in April 2012.

Current Anthropology S5, pp. S1-S266.

Wenner-Gren Symposium #142 was held March 5–12, 2010, at the Hotel Rosa dos Ventos, Teresópolis, Brazil.

”Human Biology and the Origins of Homo” Guest editors: Susan C. Antón (New York U) and Leslie C. Aiello (Wenner-Gren Foundation), published December 2012,

Current Anthropology S6, pp. S267-S496.

Wenner-Gren Symposium #143 was held March 4–11, 2011, at the Tivoli Palácio de Seteais in Sintra, Portugal.

Starting with “Working Memory: Beyond Language and Symbolism (Vol. 51, S1, June 2010),” all supplementary symposia issues of Current Anthropology are published online with “open access,” meaning anyone can download these articles. “Open access” epitomizes the Wenner-Gren mission to promote anthropology, by providing the freshest research from all branches of the discipline, to individuals and organizations lacking the resources to maintain subscriptions. And it is a matter of considerable pride that Current Anthropology has become the first mainstream anthropology journal to make a significant amount of content available online free-of-charge.

Initiatives Program

Under the Initiatives program, support was given to Dr. Eduardo Rivail Riberio, a former Wadsworth Fellow, to improve the Etnolinguistica.Org website

This is a peer-maintained repository of information on indigenous South American languages, offering the largest freely-available collection of theses and dissertations, news articles, open-access articles, and other resources on the languages of the continent. It also hosts a peer- reviewed electronic journal, Cadernos de Etnoligüística (ISSN 1946-7095).

A companion site, the Curt Nimuendaqju Digital Library (biblio.etnolinguistica.org), provides a digital collection of hard-to-find books and articles on South American languages. The Initiatives grant will modernize and integrate these sites, which currently have more than three thousand pages and receive an average of 10,000 unique visi- tors a month.

New York Academy of Sciences Anthropology Section Lecture Series

The Foundation is also pleased to provide a second Initiatives Grant to the New York Academy of Sciences Anthropology Section, to enable them to continue their popular monthly seminar series, which is held at the Foundation offices.. The Initiatives Grant helps to defray the costs associat- ed with bringing speakers to the event as well as hospitality ex- penses. The NYAS Initiatives Grant of $15,000 is expected to support four years of the seminar series.

The Foundation considers the NYAS Anthropology seminars to be an important way to integrate the Foundation into the anthropological community in New York, and promotes upcoming lectures on its website and blog, and posts audio recordings of the presentation and discussion period on the Wenner-Gren blog usually on the day following the presentation.

12 Program Highlights, continued

Historical Archives Program

The Foundation awarded five Historical Archives grants in 2012 to prepare the following personal research collections for archival deposit:

William C. Sturtevant (1926-2007), a preeminent North American ethnologist, museum curator, and university professor, was best known for his contributions to Seminole ethnology, as curator of North American Ethnology in the Depart- ment of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, and for his work as the general editor of the Handbook of North American Indians. The Sturtevant Papers were deposited at the National Anthropological Archives.

Joel M. Halpern was a field service officer with the International Cooperation Admin- istration Community Development Division in Laos (1956-1958) and a consultant to the RAND Corporation in Laos (1959-1961). Halpern was on the faculty at UCLA (1958- 1963), Brandeis University (1963-1965), and U. Massachusetts at Amherst, (1967- 1993). Halpern's field experience includes research on Swedish Laplanders, Alaska Es- kimos, Serb villagers, Bosnians, Indian community development sites, Loatians, Bulgar- ians, and Jewish ethnic communities in western Massachusetts. Halpern is a highly skilled photographer, and the collection includes many photographs at the National An- thropological Archives website.

Lewis Binford (1932-2011) was one of the most influential archaeologists of the century. A dedicated scholar, Binford first became interested in cultural study while in the military. This led him to explore the cultures in France, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic. Binford created new methodologies for archaeological and anthropological studies that have had a profound impact on the way those fields are studied today. The Binford Collection consists of over 100 linear feet of material, including original manuscript files, field notes, photographs, maps, drawings, artifacts and other results of years of cultural study. Binford’s widow, Dr. Amber Johnson, received HAP funding to deposit the collection with the archives of the Pickler Memorial Library at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouria..

Carol Laderman (1932–2010), was a groundbreaking medical anthropologist, specializing in the study of pregnancy and childbirth practices, shamanism, and Southeast Asian cultures, particularly Malays in rural Terengganu, Malaysia. She was a critically acclaimed writer and a longtime professor and lecturer who had just been re-elevated to Chairmanship of the Department of Anthropology at City College at the time of her death. With HAP funding assistance, Michael Laderman, deposited his mother’s research and professional papers with the National Anthropological Archives.

Marie Reay (1922-2004) conducted her first field research with Aboriginal communities in western New South Wales in the 1940s, obtaining her first post-graduate degree from Sydney University in 1948. She later extended her fieldwork with Indige- nous communities to Borroloola in the Northern Territory. As a doctoral student supervised by W.E. Stanner in the Research School of Pacific Studies at Australian National University, she began field research in 1953 in the Wahgi Valley in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, with the Kuma. Reay published her PhD thesis (“The Kuma: Freedom and Conformity in the New Guinea Highlands”) in 1959. She also researched and wrote extensively on elections, religion, political and social change in Papua New Guinea. She edited several influential collections on Aboriginal social change. The Reay Collection is now part of the Pacific Research Collection at the Australian National U. 13 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports

“Alternative Pathways to Complexity: Evolutionary Trajectories in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age” June 1-8, 2012, Haringe Slott Palace, Stockholm Sweden Organizers: Erella Hovers (Hebrew University) and Steven L. Kuhn (University of Arizona)

Genetic findings suggest that Neander- thals and anatomically modern Homo sapiens last shared a common ances- tor roughly 500,000 years ago. Alt- hough they may have remained genet- ically compatible, at the time of the most recent of the human dispersals out of Africa and into western Eurasia the two meta-populations had been partially if not wholly largely isolated from one another for at least 400,000 years. A certain amount of encephali- zation, and a great deal of cultural evolution, occurred between the time the two lineages separated and the time they came into interaction in the later Pleistocene. As a result of this long pe- L-R: Eelco Rohling, Osbjorn Pearson, Francesco d’Errico, Ignacio de riod of geographic vicariance, Neander- la Torre, Jamie Clark, Mark Collard, Mary Stiner, Steve Kuhn, Sarah thals and African Homo sapiens repre- Wurz, Christian Tryon, Gao Xing, Charles Perreault, Anna Degioan- sent a unique experiment in parallel bi- ni, Erella Hovers, Ariel Malinsky-Buller, Leslie Aiello ological and cultural evolution.

For the most part, assessments of the different behavioral evolutionary paths followed by hominins in Eurasia and Africa have concerned the relative evolutionary status of the Middle Paleolithic (MP) and Middle Stone Age (MSA). There has been particular emphasis on the expression of a shifting set of traits referred to as “modern human behavior.” Differences in behavioral tendencies among MP and MSA hominins may (or may not) help us explain the historical circumstances of the Neanderthal’s disap- pearance and the rapid dispersal and persistence of modern humans across the globe. However, at- tempts to establish the relative positions of the MP and MSA in a progressive developmental narrative culminating in “behavioral modernity” distract us from a unique and more valuable opportunity, namely to take advantage of the real life “experiment” created by the long separation of Neanderthal and anatomically modern H.s. lineages. Such differences as exist may help us describe distinct and partially independent evolutionary paths to very large brains, complex cognition, and flexible behavior.

The meeting’s organizers, Steven L. Kuhn and Erella Hovers, were interested in creating a forum for empirically-based, theoretically informed discussions of this evolutionary experiment, independent of the eventual success of one population or the other. The goal was not to formulate a consensus about which of the two populations first reached some threshold of “behavioral modernity”. This is an interest- ing but, in some ways, anecdotal question. Instead, the specific aims of the symposium were to discuss and evaluate the independent histories of evolution in behavior and cognition in western Eurasia and southern Africa. We wanted to highlight the important differences and similarities in the evolutionary trajectories in sub-Saharan Africa and western Eurasia, and to link them wherever possible with the environmental and demographic conditions in the two macro-regions. A more abstract goal was to discuss how the paleoanthropological record, with its unique perspective on long-term behavioral change, could provide an opportunity for our discipline to make a contribution to evolutionary research more generally.

14 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports, continued

With these questions in mind, the 145th symposium of the Wenner-Gren Foundation was convened at Häringe Slott near Stockholm, Sweden (befittingly, a former residence of the Foundation’s benefactor Axel Wenner-Gren) from June 1-8, 2012. The location and timing enabled participants to enjoy (or suf- fer) sun light for 20 hours a day, at least when the sun was visible. Invitees were asked to draw on evidence in their areas of expertise, focusing on evolutionary trends in both modal tendencies and levels of variation/ diversity within various regions. As dictated by the nature of the questions asked, the 15 participants brought to the discussion table (and to the cof- fee and cookies table, the dinner table, and the cocktail table) a diversity of training and expertise. The group included paleoanthropologists who study material culture and subsistence in Eurasia, Africa and China, physical anthropologists, scientists interested in demography, modelers of cultural evolution, and a climatologist. One invitee, a geneticist, had to cancel at the last minute, and Leslie Aiello, president of the Wenner-Gren Foundation in New York, courageously stepped up and took on the role of representing his paper. The papers and discussions focused on the time period between 400 Ka and 40 Ka (MIS 9-3), the interval in which the MSA and MP developed, spread, and eventually disappeared. The student monitor for the meeting, Ariel Malinsky-Buller, currently writes his Ph.D. thesis on the transition from the late Lower to the early Middle Paleolithic in Eurasia.

That many of the papers presented in the formal session were co-authored by two or more scientists is perhaps a reflection of the scope and scale of the questions addressed. Paleoanthropologists Steve Kuhn and Christian Tryon led off the first session of formal presentations. Each provided overviews of respective regional records of Eurasia and Africa based on the empirical data, laying out the geographic and cultural canvases for the whole meeting and emphasizing main phenomena to be explained, as well as biases in the understanding of the regional records. Eelco Rohling completed this session with a comprehensive review of global environmental conditions and especially climate variability, as the back- drop to the period of interest, identifying periodic chances for dispersal opportunities and emphasizing the volatile nature of Upper Pleistocene climate in Africa and Europe. In the second session archaeo- zoologists Mary Stiner and Jamie Clark focused on the links between subsistence behavior, climate, and demographic conditions experienced by Eurasian and south African populations, while demographer modeler Anna Degioanni discussed diverse population estimates and environmental constraints on Ne- anderthal populations. A number of the participants in the first two sessions emphasized the apparent sparseness and fragility of MP populations, based on a wide variety of evidence. In the third session Sarah Würz, Ignacio de la Torre and Xing Gao discussed technological change and variability in South Africa, Iberia and China, respectively. The geographic scales of the presentations were different, yet on each one of these scales the speakers defined – somewhat unexpectedly – many levels and aspects of cultural continuity as well as very different temporal dynamics. In the fourth session Osbjorn Pearson discussed the effects of climate on demography, and how this could have influenced the evolutionary mechanisms that led to the distinct anatomies of Neandertals and modern humans. Leslie Aiello repre- sented the paper by Carles Lalueza-Fox as a cautionary tale about the use of paleogenetic research, emphasizing that up to now, this research has expanded our understanding of the genetic history of modern humans but less so, of the ancient populations of non-modern hominins. Erella Hovers reviewed the Levantine record 300-50 thousand years ago, also identifying elements of continuity in material culture in a region where population movements are potentially best documented for the time frame involved. She used this record to bring up questions about the roles of climate, material culture function, and processes of cultural transmission within and between populations in the shaping of the evolutionary record of the late Middle and early part of the Upper Pleistocene.

features shared by sites/assemblages attributed to specific techno-complexes or cultures, and on phylogenetic methods as a means of evaluating and refining the reconstruction of potential cultural evolutionary scenarios, points of coalescence and the identification of derived or analogous cultural traits.

After a day off in Stockholm, complete with the sur- prising appearance of the sun after a number of rainy days, a rousing performance of Swedish folk music back at the castle, and a birthday party in honor of Axel Wenner-Gren, the group re- assembled for two rather intensive days of discussion. Several overarching themes emerged from the presentations and the ensuing conversations. Not surprisingly there seemed to be a consensus that it is high time to improve upon simple, uni-causal and easy-to-model scenarios that have dominated the literature. Another conclusion was that current understanding of different rates of cultural evolution in Africa and Eurasia may be biased by great differences in geographic scales, the density of sites, and in the patterns of climate variability within and between these two continental records, as well as biases introduced by research practices and histories. From a bird’s-eye view the Eurasian record sometimes appears monotonous, but when broken down to regions it manifested technological diversity and variability. At the same time the group discussed practical ways to restructure regional and continental perspectives so as to produce greater comparability. There was discussion of temporal scale also in the context of harnessing the strengths of the archaeological record towards answering the fundamental question of the appearance of cumulative culture among hominins. To tackle this issue, it is necessary to use the inherent temporality of the record to our advantage rather than to ignore it.

When paleoanthropology turns to climate sciences to define the environmental envelope of MSA/MP behaviors in various regions, spatial and temporal scales are often incompatible. Climate variability in the Upper Pleistocene is often documented on a millennial, centennial or (rarely) decadal scale of resolu- tion, yet dating of archaeological sites does not normally achieve such precision. On the other hand, sites are of restricted spatial scales whereas climatic events occur on a global basis. Features of the landscape play a major role in determining how these global events are manifest at the scale of sites or research areas. A great deal of discussion focused on strategies for resolving these geographic and temporal incongruities, ranging from development of local records to focusing on periods of high and low variability rather than specific sets of conditions.

It was clear from presentations and discussions that demography and its effects on cultural transmission have become fundamental to explanations of MP/MSA technological variation, foraging, and anatomy. The majority of participants subscribed to the view that Neandertals were as a rule spread thin on the ground, from which assumption many hypotheses about variation and innovation in cultural practices were derived. As compelling as demographic models may be, it is also clear that their implications have not been adequately explored for paleoanthropological time scales. There is an urgent need to design more specific and fine-tuned demographic models for Neandertals, to evaluate the viability of the hy- pothesized small groups in specific environmental conditions, and to investigate how their demographic re-organization on the landscape may have influenced cultural evolutionary processes. It is also important to provide actual tests of neutral models, and to pit them against models of adaptively-linked variation in behavior.

16 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports, continued

During discussions in the last day of the meeting, participants worked to construct models that can generate testable hypotheses about rates of innovation and change and their retention in the cultural record to a degree that may enable cumulative cultural evolution. Working groups proposed frameworks for evaluating complexity of technical processes and for comparing cultural assemblages across regions with very different histories. Because of its intensive study of terrestrial, small scale climatic variability, patchy environment, the specificity of its climate, its ‘checkered’ history in terms of hominin taxonomy and dispersal, and thanks to many highly detailed studies of lithic material culture, Participants taking a break at Haringe Palace. research on the Levantine MP may serve as a first ap- proximation for constructing research programs that are suitable to address the specific questions raised in the meeting and a basis on which to incorporate new methods of analysis. Southern Africa, southwest Europe (northern Iberia, southern France) were also nominated as areas of roughly comparable size and data density.

In the end it became obvious that we are not yet in a position to fully evaluate and understand the out- comes of the parallel evolutionary experiments that led to anatomically modern Homo sapiens and the MSA in Africa, and to Neanderthals and the MP in Europe. Whereas the basic notion is sound, and some of the available evidence compelling, conventional approaches to reporting, synthesizing and comparing data do not lend themselves to rigorous tests of alternative evolutionary models. At the same time, the participants agreed that the intellectual tools needed to research these questions are well within reach. Various members of the group have begun collaborative efforts in this direction, including the design and implementation of pilot studies of cumulative evolution using material culture data, and at- tempts to identify phylogenetic relationships between MP and MSA cultural entities. These collaborative studies are underway as we write these words. This fulfills one of the aims of the workshop, which was to open up new avenues for collaboration among participants and their colleagues in a range of disciplines. Proceedings of the workshop, to be published as a special issue of Current Anthropology (with peer review), will reflect these new joint efforts.

“Crisis, Value, and Hope: Rethinking the Economy” September 14-20, 2012, Tivoli Palácio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal Organizers: Niko Besnier (University of Amsterdam) and Susana Narotzky (University of Barcelona)

The Symposium Organizers' Summary Statement:

This symposium sought to re-think the economy from the perspective of contemporary theory in economic and political anthropology, and explore how this re-thinking informs other concerns in cultural anthropology. Specifically, the organizers aimed to explore what counts as economic and how different processes that count as economic interact with one another. Furthermore, they wished to explore what hap- pens when different regimes of value overlap in the same context and what role the economy plays in linking the past and the present to the future. These endeavors begin with an ethnographic investigation of what these questions Front: Leslie Aiello, Magdalena Villarreal, Shenjing He, mean for people on the ground, particularly Frances Pine Middle: Janet Roitman, Jennifer Cole, Laurie people for whom crisis is not a state of excep- Obbink, Karen Brodkin, Susana Narotzky, Isabelle Guérin, tion but a normalized condition. Three im- Steve Gudeman Back: Gavin Smith, Jaime Palomera, Niko portant categories emerge in this investigation: Besnier, Benôit de l’Estoile, Vincent Dubois, Parker Shipton, crisis, value, and hope. We seek to understand how they interact.

The symposium brought together scholars from diverse backgrounds who are all committed to empirically grounded approaches to these questions with the aim of contextualizing but also transcending the “economy of (mainstream) economics.” This endeavor required a re-thinking about how we model the economy, which does not approach forms of concrete and abstract capital as mutually reinforcing but, on the contrary, as potentially disjointed and complementary. It also required sustained attention to pa- rameters of inequality, such as gender, class, race, ethnicity, and age.

What leads us in this re-thinking is the convergence of three interlocking premises:

1) We seek to contextualize this basic insight in two sets of dynamics: a) prosperity as a historical anom- aly in that, even for the relatively privileged segments of the wealthiest societies, the post-WWII years were a moment of exceptional economic stability and predictability; and b) what is commonly portrayed as the current “temporary” crisis as exposing the precarity with which most people contend on a perma- nent basis. Normalized crisis is characteristic of the lives of the poor, but of many others as well. Crisis is also constitutive of downward mobility within both individual lives and across generations. Crisis is the context for a re-evaluation of value and a re-consideration of the way in which past, present, and future are inter-related in people’s lives. 2) The economy cuts across a broad range of human activities beyond the purely material and is consti- tuted by different and co-existing regimes of value. Those for whom economic crisis is norm operate with coping strategies that transcend the search for elusive material resources. These strategies include relations of trust, networks of reciprocity encompassing both material and ideational resources, economies of affect, “informal” economies, care-giving chains, and so on. People invest in multiple aspects of existence which also have economic characteristics and consequences. Among the poor, social relations constitute a much safer “investment” than faith in direct material returns, contrary to, for example, the assumptions that underlie development policies prioritizing micro-entrepreneurship.

Here we challenge the fetishization of the market and more generally of economic activities, a fetishization that, with the turn to neoliberalism in late modernity, has increased rather than decreased. We seek to demonstrate that the market cannot be divorced (in either analysis or practice) from the rest of life. Again, while people in situa- tions of serious precarity are most adept at developing complex coping strategies, alternative economic projects also characterize the parsimony of the not-so-wealthy but not poor.

3) Hope plays a pivotal role in the lives of people. As the ability to relate the future to the past, hope operates on different scales at once: at one extreme, from morning to evening (“Will my children have enough to eat tonight?”) and, at the other extreme, from one generation to the next (“Will my children be able to support themselves, their children, and their aging parents?”). As one feature of the imagi- nation, hope constitutes an important resource when material resources are lacking in the present, alt- hough the complete lack of resources hampers the possibility of imagining a future. Imagining a future is the basis for any action oriented to the transformation of the present into a better future for self and others. In addition to operating on a temporal scale, hope operates across a socio-spatial scale, e.g., from the domestic economy to political action, from local to state-level to global, and across different forms of civil society. However, hope can also be operationalized as an instrument of exploitation.

The symposium explored the convergence of the three themes through ethnographic cases that focused variously on types of persons, types of resources, kinds of projects of the future, strategies and instrumentalities, and structures of emotions. Participants based their contributions on their empirical materials and theoretical works centralizing one of the three categories of the symposium and address- ing the way in which it articulated with the other two. Topics that symposium participants addressed included: indebtedness and its relationship to crisis and value; micro-credits as instruments of hope; the meaning of value under conditions of hyperinflation; the place of value in the lives of precarious workers and the homeless; divergent expert and vernacular definitions of economic practice; and the role of hope in mobility practices.

The symposium aimed to integrate, transcend, and transform the various theoretical anthropological traditions that inform it, including:

• Re-appraisals of Mauss and Polanyi and critiques of classical Marxism, focusing on “alter” economies, post-development, or social economies, which, despite their heterogeneous nature, emphasize the importance of non-market values and the articulation of different values in the accumulation dynamics of present-day capitalist economies; • Theoretical advances that seek to understand how the diverse forms of circulation of resources and the different frameworks of value attached to them can co-exist, clash, and synergize; • Bourdieu’s articulation of different fields of social interaction with the aim of understanding the workings of social reproduction across cultural, symbolic, social, and economic spheres; • Feminist debates about the value of women’s housework, socialization, and care work for the social reproduction of the economic and political system; • Explorations of hope as a pivot among emotions, social action, temporality, and the struc- tural context of people’s lives across different disciplines.

What guides economic practice in the lives of ordinary people? How do these dynamics differ from those predicted by mainstream economic models? Can anthropology bridge the gap between mainstream models and everyday practices? Can we propose a unified theoretical framework of the economy that integrates these diverse realities?

23 Hunt Postdoctoral Fellows for 2012

Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships support the writing-up of already completed research, and are awarded to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources to develop their research for publication. In 2012, eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded.

Hayder Al-Mohammad, U. of Southampton, Southampton, UK “The Precariousness of Dwelling: Entangled Lives and Ethics In Post- Invasion Iraq”

Abstract: “The Precariousness of Dwelling” is a book project based on more than two years of fieldwork, conducted between 2005-2010, in the southern Iraqi city of Basra. The project explores how several decades of war, sanctions, intifadas, and military occupation, and now gang, militia and tribal battles, have ravaged the city of Basra and the lives of its inhabitants. Amongst such de- struction, however, people have still to live their lives; it is in the pragmatics of living that I have sought to motivate an analysis which puts into question what forms of work and struggles go into dwelling. Relying on personal accounts and life-histories of several people I became close to in Basra, I try to bring to prominence some of the precariousness, but also the physicality, labour, and ethical work which goes into making a life livable, a word inhabitable, in postinvasion Iraq. Contrary to much research which tends to think of life as something a priori, or given, in the contexts and people I have worked with one glimpses the sheer burden to maintain life and its re- ciprocal reliances. As I show throughout this project, the struggles of and for being cannot be located in persons separately, rather, the struggle of being is always a struggling-with, or a struggling-against, for those one cares for and looks after. Thus, crucial to this project is the attempt to think of ethics outside of an 'ethics of the self' to what I call an 'ethics of being-with': that is, how in Basra lives take in the lives of others and struggle and battle for those other lives—particularly in moments and experiences of precariousness.

Nikhil Anand Haverford College, Haverford, Pennsylvania “Infrapolitics: Public Systems and the Social Life of Water in Mumbai”

Abstract: “Infrapolitics” is a book project that follows how urban water is made, moved and accessed by settlers living in one of India's largest cities. Amidst specters of the rapidly growing cities of the South on one hand, and disappearing water resources on the other, city planners and adminis- trators have recently proposed initiatives to privatise water distribution infrastructures in various cities around the world. Yet, the privatization of water infrastructures has been extremely contentious. Noting that the urban poor are marginalized in public and private systems, this book project trac- es why public water systems continue to proliferate, even as state policies profess a commitment to neoliberal governance. Based on twenty two months of ethnographic research with settlers, city engineers, politicians, plumbers and social workers, Infrapolitics explores the quotidian social, discursive and material work through which settlers’ access water from the city's water system. To connect to the water system, settlers mobilize not just states or markets but a wide range of social and political relations, including friends, families, social workers, plumbers and city councilors. Ethnographic attention to these quotidian practices of making social and material connections complicates the dichotomies of public and private, long central to political economy. By attending closely to everyday practices, the book theorizes the limits of both water privatization and citizenship, and shows how settlers are able to make reliable homes in the city despite the marginalizations of states and markets.

Sireen El Zaatari American School of Classical Studies, Athena, Greece “Them and Us: Behavioral Differences Between Neandertals and Early Modern Humans”

The current application for aid in writing a series of journal articles presenting the results of the first large-scale study of dietary habits of Paleolithic hominins. The study employed microwear texture analysis, the most recent development in the field of dental microwear, to examine diets of adult and immature Paleolithic specimens from nu- merous western Eurasian sites across their wide temporal and geographic ranges. The adult sample was examined with the aim of identifying similarities/differences in the diets and dietary adaptations of Neandertals and their predecessors and successors in Europe. The juvenile sample was examined with the aims of 1) identifying similarities/differences in the diets and dietary adaptations of immature Neandertals and Upper Paleo- lithic modern humans, and 2) comparing the diets of the juveniles to those of their adult counterparts. The main purpose of this study was to detect possible evidence of behavioral modernity that distin- guishes the Upper Paleolithic modern humans from the Neandertals and their predecessors in western Eurasia. The major results of this study reveal two such behaviors: modern humans' use of culture for the adaptation to fluctuations in food availability and their special treatment of their children.

Lars Edward Fogelin U. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ “An Archaeological History of Indian Buddhism”

I will use the Hunt Postdoctoral fellowship to complete a comprehensive survey of Indian Buddhism from its origins in c. 500 BCE through its de- cline in mainland South Asia by c. 1400 CE. “An Archaeological History of Indian Buddhism” will provide a markedly new perspective on Buddhist history. Specifically, it will draw upon archaeological remains, architecture, iconography and epigraphy (inscriptions) to uncover the quotidian concerns and practices of Buddhist monks and their lay adherents- -concerns and practices often obscured in studies of Buddhism premised largely, if not exclusively, on doctrinal and theological texts. At the center of the entire project is an examination of a fundamental schism within Buddhism—the disjuncture between the solitary, meditative aspects of Buddhism and the need to forge and maintain a coherent community of Buddhists. “An Archaeological History of Indian Buddhism” will also serve as an exemplar for the anthropological study of long-term religious change. Drawing on practice theory and materiality, I will develop and present broadly applicable methods for the anthropological and archaeological study of religion worldwide.

Arthur Corea Mason U. of California, Berkeley, CA “Assessing Intermediary Expertise in Arctic Natural Gas Develop- ment”

My aim is to complete a book that will improve the state of theory and knowledge in relation to forms of expression and performance used by energy consultants for communicating economic forecasts of natural gas development in the Arctic. Since restructuring, consultants and the firms they work for have had an organizational significance for the way government and industry leaders stabilize perspectives on arctic energy proposals. These firms combine technical prediction with new modes of communicative exchange and are important for the knowledge they generate but also for the forms of socialization and ritual-like learning environments they create. During the fellowship period, I will focus on two areas of study that contribute toward advancing the manuscript's theoretical goals: The Performativity Thesis, and; Corporeality of Ex- pertise in Economic Decision Making. Both topics appear to be linked to a period of industry restructuring and thus, arguably, to new forms for visualizing energy development on a local and global scale.

Shylih Ryan Muehlmann U. of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada “When I Wear My Alligator Boots: Narcotrafficking In the US- Mexico Borderlands”

The specter of drug-related violence in northern Mexico has had a powerful media presence in the last few years, but the story of those who are most vulnerable to the violence of the drug trade, and most susceptible to the promise of its rewards, is seldom told. The book manuscript I will complete, “When I Wear My Alligator Boots: Narco- trafficking in the US-Mexico Borderlands,” analyzes the experiences of the poor, often indigenous workers living in the borderlands who are recruited to work in the lowest echelons of the drug trade, as burreros (“mules”) and narcotraficantes (“traffickers”). This book will trace the paths of a group of fishermen in an indigenous settlement in northern Mexico who have become involved in the drug trade. I argue that narco-trafficking represents one of the few promises of upward mobility for the indigenous poor in Mexico's north. The people who have taken this alternative have retained a sense of pride and defiance drawn from the cultural sali- ence of the northern Mexican persona of the narcotraficante. For many men and women living in pov- erty, the narco-economy represents an alternative to the exploitation they experience trying to work in the borderland's legal economy, which has been increasingly dominated by the presence of US-owned maquiladoras (“assembly plants”) and ravaged by environmental degradation. I argue that despite the exploitative and violent conditions involved in working in the drug trade, this economic alternative has provided a cultural resource through which many rural poor have responded to changing political and economic circumstances. I argue, furthermore, that narco-trafficking is seen by some as a form of resistance to US and Mexican domination, albeit a multi-dimensional resistance shaped by local politics.

Nico Tassi U. College London, London, UK “Reassembling The Economic. The Aymara Economic: System in the Global Arena”

The project analyzes one of the most successful forms of indigenous market economy on the American continent. Founded on ethnic-based networks, political structures, and culturally specific practices of consumption, investment, and credit, the Bolivian Aymara market economy has gone unexpectedly global by establishing economic partnerships with Chinese fam- ily consortiums and managing to control several regional markets. Such indigenous economic actors sporting a specialist technological know-how and advanced economic knowledge, have transformed a landlocked country such as Bolivia into a center of good distribution to the entire region while feeding a reconfiguration of national economic structures. The outcome of the fellowship will be a monograph about this Aymara economic system. Starting from the indigenous political history and structures, the book outlines Aymara economic practices, conceptualizations, and rationale of the market, as well as the interface between the Aymara and the global context. Through the analysis of a series of local political, economic and cultural strategies, the monograph intends to show the Aymara effort to reframe their subordinate relation with the global economy. In so doing, the book brings forward unexpected connota- tions of globalization and modernity and explores unanticipated aspects of economic thinking.

Carolyn L. White U. of Nevada, Reno, NV “Fashioning the Changing Self: Clothing and Adornment in Trans- Atlantic Perspective”

This project furthers the study of trans-Atlantic trade and use of material culture employed in the expression of identity along lines of gender, class, ethnicity, and age in 18th and 19th century England and the United States. Personal adornment artifacts held in archaeological collections curated by the London Archaeological Archive and Resource Centre (LAARC) and Strawbery Banke Museum, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, are the principal sources for this project. The Hunt Fellowship funds will support the completion of a book manuscript that explores trans-Atlantic trade, use of personal adornment, and the construction of identities in the 18th and early 19th century. Artifacts of personal adornment are an overlooked class of objects that can shed light on a powerful aspect of daily life—the ways that people physically presented themselves, communicating ideas about their individuality as well as their membership in groups. This research has several interwoven elements that are grounded in both theoretical and practical archaeologically based material culture research. The first is to examine the use of personal adornment on domestic sites in England and in New England in order to look at the ways that people expressed individual identity and social groupings through clothing and personal appearance. The second, and equally important, aspect of this research is to explore the role of Britain as a supplier of personal adornment goods to America in the 18th and 19th centuries. Third, the project compares colonial and postcolonial self-presentation on two sides of the Atlantic. The Hunt Fellowship will support the completion of a book manuscript that explores the complexity of the colonial and postcolonial relationship through trans-Atlantic trade and use of personal adornment in the 18th and early 19th century.

Albino Jopela, U. of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Project: To aid training in archaeology at U. of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, supervised by Dr. Benjamin Smith

I was born in 1982 in Maputo, Mozambique. My research is focused on issues of conservation and management systems of Heritage, especially in relation to rock art sites in Mozambique and southern Africa. I received my B.A. Honors in History (2006) from Eduardo Mondlane University (Mozambique); a B.A. Honors (2007) and M.A. (2010) in Archaeology from the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa).

My Masters dissertation looked at traditional custodianship practices for archaeological sites in southern African heritage management and considered how the social context of heritage management has changed. This research uncovered the mismatch between public policy makers (formal heritage management systems) and local communities’ perceptions (traditional custodianship systems) in terms of the meanings and notions of ‘heritage’ (e.g. the value and meaning of rock art for contemporary African communities). This is directing my Ph.D. research at the Department of Archaeology and the Rock Art Research Institute (RARI) at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). I have chosen Wits University for my Ph.D. training because Wits is a worldwide recognized institution for its research on Palaeo- archaeology, the Stone Age, pre-colonial farming and herding societies and the formation of modern cultural identities in the last 500 years.

I am a Wadsworth International Fellow from the Philippines, where I did my B.A. in Development Studies and my M.A. in Global Politics, both at the Ateneo de Manila University where I subsequently joined the research and teaching staff. Thanks to the Wadsworth fellowship, I am now pursuing my Ph.D. in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh under the super- vision of Professor Janet Carsten. For my Ph.D., I am looking at how transnational labour migration is enabled by, connects, and transforms kinship systems that are geograph- ically distant but share religious and cultural similarities. I am concerned with how kinship systems may be thought of not as discrete entities which then stretch across national boundaries, but as possibly po- rous and open systems that interact with one another.

I will pursue this idea empirically by examining Filipino labour migration to Italy and I hope to commence with my fieldwork later this year. My decision to do a Ph.D. in social anthropology (itself a migrant act in disciplinary terms) resulted from my involvement in a long-term study on migration and families in the Philippines, where my colleagues and I combined ethnographic, social, historical, and demographic research techniques. I chose to go to the University of Edinburgh due to its important role in the contemporary study of kinship and relatedness, the presence of experts on Southeast Asia, the program’s flexi- bility and openness to cross-disciplinary approaches, and the opportunities it offers for collaboration and engagement with other social anthropology research students across Scotland via the Scottish Training in Anthropological Research.

Ezgi Guner Sabanci U., Istanbul, Turkey Project: To aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, supervised by Dr. Mahir Saul

After graduating from Sabanci University, Istanbul in 2009, with a degree in Cultural Studies, I worked for anthropological research projects for two years. These fieldwork experiences exposed me to several anthropological questions and motivated me to pursue graduate studies in anthropology to inquire further on some of these questions.

In 2011, I worked for Dr. Mahir Saul’s field research on West African immigrants in Istanbul. During this period, I developed an interest in labor migration and informal work, which stemmed from my interaction with the immigrant street vendors, mostly from rural Senegal. This relatively established, self-employed community challenged the generally accepted wisdom on migration to Turkey in many ways. In my doctoral work, I intend to address the questions of South-South migration, transnational migrant activism, informal work and organization of informal workers, focusing in particular to the experiences of Senegalese street vendors. For this purpose, I began my PhD studies in 2012 in the department of anthropology in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I have the opportunity to learn Wolof from Mor Gueye and to work with a number of faculty who share my interest, including Dr. Saul.

Ana Morales U. de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica Project: To aid training in physical-biological anthropology at U. of Calgary, Calgary, Canada, supervised by Dr. Geoffrey McCafferty

After getting my undergraduate degree in biotechnological engineering, then working in the Human Genetics Department at the University of Costa Rica, I got interested in questions about our past as human beings and the peopling of America. My interest in indigenous groups and their history and heritage led me to pursue a Masters in Anthropology focusing on human genetics evolution, population genetics and anthropological genetics.

I became aware that bio-archaeological research of Amerindian groups, specifically ancient DNA studies, could provide a more comprehensive understanding of indigenous populations. When I learned that the Archaeology Department faculty at the University of Calgary have extensive knowledge of Central American archaeology and its indigenous groups, as well as a laboratory for ancient DNA research, I de- cided to pursue a Ph.D. there. At present there are no Ph.D. programs in Biological Anthropology or Paleo-anthropological research in my country. It is my intention to return to Central America and establish an institute specializing in bioanthropological and bioarchaeological research upon completing my doctorate.

Jose Ortiz Vallejos U. del Valle de Guatemala, Guatemala City, Guatemala Project: To aid training in archaeology at U. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, supervised by Dr. Takeshi Inomata

I am a first year Ph.D. student in Anthropology at the U. of Arizona, with a focus on archaeology. I received my B.A. and Licenciatura in Archaeology from the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. My previous research includes carrying out excavations at sites in the Maya highlands, lowlands, and the Pacific Coast, as well as further lab-work in ceramic analysis, such as typological classifica- tion and building chronological sequences of occupation. I am particularly interested in Maya ceramics as a source of information on chronology, cultural change, ethnic interaction, migration patterns, and social organization among groups in the Maya highlands but also in other areas.

My mentors are Drs. Takeshi Inomata and Daniela Triadan, two prominent Maya archaeologists who are currently conducting investigations in one of the most important sites in Guatemala. I am also excited to work with other leading professors at the School of Anthropology to build a strong foundation in current anthropological theory and archaeological methodology, and participate in other types of research such as experimental archaeology and archaeometry.

Habtamu Taddesse Aksum U., Aksum, Ethiopia Project: To aid training in archaeology at Simon Fraser U., Burnaby, Canada, supervised by Dr. Catherine D'Andrea

I was awarded a B.A. in History from Addis Ababa University in 2001 . I then completed Masters in Archaeology in 2010, also at Addis Ababa University, after which I became a Lecturer at Aksum University. Over the past ten years, I have worked with many international projects on wide range of archaeological sites. I am very interested to continue archaeological research in Eastern Tigrai, northern Ethiopia, which I initiated during my M.A. research and involved the completion of test excavations at the site of Sobea. I plan to specialize in the analysis of ceramics and to examine the social and economic implications of the pre-Aksumite-Aksumite transition (ca. 800-50BC) in Eastern Tigrai.

I chose to pursue my Ph.D. at Simon Fraser University in order to continue my graduate studies with Prof. D’Andrea, who has been working in Eastern Tigrai since 1997 and co-supervised my M.A. thesis. I am very excited to be at Simon Fraser, where I can interact with a dynamic faculty who conduct fieldwork in many parts of the world, and are introducing me to new theoretical orientations and methodologies in archaeology within a global context.

54 Major Grant Program Statistics for 2012

The Foundation has seven major grant programs. Dissertation Fieldwork Grants, Post Ph.D. Research Grants, and International Collaborative Research Grants are given to individuals at various stages of career to carry out research projects. The Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded to young scholars to provide time for publication of major pieces of research. The Wadsworth Fellowships allow scholars to receive doctoral training in Anthropology that is not available in their home countries. The Conference and Workshop Grants fund academic meetings in the discipline, and the new Engaged Anthropology Grant allows grantees to return to their research locale to share their research results.

Of the seven major grant programs in 2012, the Foundation received 1470 applications and made 219 awards for an overall success rate of 14.9%. This compares to a total of 1428 applications and 239 awards in 2011 (success rate = 16.2%) and 1358 applications and 238 awards in 2010 (success rate =17.5%).

Application Numbers

Applicaon numbers for the Dissertaon Fieldwork Grant program (930) are comparable to 2011 (931). Applicaons for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship are at historically high levels (160 applicaons compared to 129 in 2011 and 150 (the previous historic high) in 2010. Post‐Ph.D. Research Grant applicaons are also up compared to 2011 (247 versus 239), however over the past decade the numbers have been relavely stable around a mean of 237 applicaons per year (blue line in the ﬁgure on the following page).

Success Rates

The overall success rate for 2012 is slightly down in relation to 2010 and 2011. This is because of both budgetary decisions and the rise in applications numbers in some programs. The relatively high success rate for the Wadsworth Fellowships was due to a reduction in application numbers (from 32 in 2011 to 18 in 2012) and the Foundation’s decision to continue to award six fellowships per annum reflects its confidence that the candidates were deserving of the award.
