    North East Multi-Regional Training Instructors Library 355 Smoke Tree Business Park j North Aurora, IL 60542-1723 (630) 896-8860, x 108 j Fax (630) 896-4422 j WWW.NEMRT.COM j [email protected] The North East Multi-Regional Training Instructors Library In-Service Training Tape collection are available for loan to sworn law enforcement agencies in Illinois. Out-of-state law enforcement agencies may contact the Instructors Library about the possibility of arranging a loan. How to Borrow North East Multi-Regional Training In-Service Training Tapes How to Borrow Tapes: Call, write, or Fax NEMRT's librarian (that's Sarah Cole). Calling is probably the most effective way to contact her, because you can get immediate feedback on what tapes are available. In order to insure that borrowers are authorized through their law enforcement agency to borrow videos, please submit the initial lending request on agency letterhead (not a fax cover sheet or internal memo form). Also provide the name of the department’s training officer. If a requested tape is in the library at the time of the request, it will be sent to the borrower’s agency immediately. If the tape is not in, the borrower's name will be put on the tape's waiting list, and it will be sent as soon as possible. The due date--the date by which the tape must be back at NEMRT--is indicated on the loan receipt included with each loan. Since a lot of the tapes have long waiting lists, prompt return is appreciated not only by the Instructors' Library, but the other departments using the video collection.

    ARKY 327.01: FRAUDS, MYTHS, AND MYSTERIES ARCHAELOGY AND POPULAR CULTURE Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:00 pm – 14:45 pm A142 Instructor: Alejandra Alonso-Olvera E-Mail: [email protected] Office Hours: By appointment Office Phone: (403) 270 3430 Office: Earth Science (Department of Archaeology) 740 Course Description This course evaluates the logical flaws in pseudoscientific explanations of archaeological topics, and examines popular and fantastic interpretations of archaeological remains presented in the press and popular media/culture. A series of topics in this class show how archaeology is presented as unsubstantiated, occult, and speculative science about our prehistoric past. On the other hand, subjects like pyramids, cave paintings, human evolution, Stonehenge, the Maya, aliens, and popular legends fascinate people and motivate them to visit museum, archaeological sites, and also to buy archaeology books, giving archaeology a prominent place in our society and making it accessible to the general public. Inaptly the press and popular media exploit people’s interest to twist discoveries made by scientific archaeology. This course provides perspective on unsubstantiated claims made about the human past. A critical view of the popular culture and archaeology would hone critical thinking and logical reasoning, which are at the core of natural and social sciences.Students will recognize the importance of understanding the context of controversies concerning the archaeological past, and how real archaeology change misconceptions, idealizations, and fantasies related to historical events through scientific methods. Find out what archaeology really is! Objectives of the Course The student of this course will have a good: 1. Understanding of legends, myths, and frauds around archaeological topics.

  • Monuments, Materiality, and Meaning in the Classical Archaeology of Anatolia
    MONUMENTS, MATERIALITY, AND MEANING IN THE CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANATOLIA by Daniel David Shoup A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elaine K. Gazda, Co-Chair Professor John F. Cherry, Co-Chair, Brown University Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Christopher John Ratté Professor Norman Yoffee Acknowledgments Athena may have sprung from Zeus’ brow alone, but dissertations never have a solitary birth: especially this one, which is largely made up of the voices of others. I have been fortunate to have the support of many friends, colleagues, and mentors, whose ideas and suggestions have fundamentally shaped this work. I would also like to thank the dozens of people who agreed to be interviewed, whose ideas and voices animate this text and the sites where they work. I offer this dissertation in hope that it contributes, in some small way, to a bright future for archaeology in Turkey. My committee members have been unstinting in their support of what has proved to be an unconventional project. John Cherry’s able teaching and broad perspective on archaeology formed the matrix in which the ideas for this dissertation grew; Elaine Gazda’s support, guidance, and advocacy of the project was indispensible to its completion. Norman Yoffee provided ideas and support from the first draft of a very different prospectus – including very necessary encouragement to go out on a limb. Chris Ratté has been a generous host at the site of Aphrodisias and helpful commentator during the writing process.

In 2014 during the construction of a shopping center, the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) discovered a Gallo-Roman site from the 2nd century AD. The most interesting part of the site for the study is a façade of 70 meters long by nearly 10 meters high. The state of the conservation of the blocks of the façade makes them exceptional due to the question raised by the collapse. Representative and symbolic blocks of this building have been selected for a virtual anastylosis study. The blocks discovered belong to different types: decorated architectural blocks, monumental statuary elements and details of very fine decorations. The digital reproduction of the façade will facilitate the formulation of hypothesis for the collapse of the structure.

  • SAA Guidelines for Preparing Legacy Archaeology Collections
    GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING LEGACY ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS FOR CURATION Michelle K. Knoll and Bruce B. Huckell ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are grateful to a number of colleagues for their advice and assistance in compiling and reviewing previous drafts of this document. Our first thanks go to volunteers nearing retirement who completed a preliminary survey about what kinds of collections, samples, and materials they had in their possession that needed to be curated. They helped us assess what topics might best be covered in this guide. Once we started the process of compiling sections and full drafts, we had the good fortune to receive editorial comments, suggestions, and thoughtful reactions from our colleagues on the SAA Committee on Museums, Collections, and Curation. In particular, we are most grateful to committee chair Danielle Benden, Terry Childs, Jenna Domeischel, Susan Gilliland, and Marybeth Tomka. Bill Lipe, Professor Emeritus, Washington State University, long concerned with the proper curation of legacy collections, provided us with much food for thought on both an initial and a revised draft of this guide. We thank Richard Talbot, Brigham Young University, and Janaki Krishna, Natural History Museum of Utah, who also reviewed drafts, and Andrea Knoll for assistance with designing the cover. Our thanks as well to our colleagues at the University of Utah and the University of New Mexico for important conversations about aspects of curation that came up as we worked on the guide. Finally, we are grateful to the SAA Board of Directors for their invitation to prepare the guide and for their review and final approval of it.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Cover: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum 1
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Cover: Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum 1 An enduring and vibrant memory Shoah survivor and Nobel prizewinner Elie Wiesel passed away on July 2, 2016 at the age of 87. Like Primo Levi and Imre Kertész, he was one of the most important advocates for the memory of the Shoah. Marked by his expe- rience in the camps and deeply imbued with the principles of Judaism, he was a leading moral figure of our time. Like the late Samuel Pisar, Elie Wiesel had been a member of the Board of Administration of the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah. Their commitment to transmitting the memory of Jewish cultures was a role model for us. Remembering the plight of exterminated Jews and promoting their culture today are the two essential principles that guide our initiatives. They are inseparable from our mission. The memory embodied by Elie Wiesel and Samuel Pisar, the memory that we defend, is not an endless and sterile rumination on the past—quite the oppo- site, it is instead alive and vibrant. It compels us to participate in struggles for human dignity and to fight against the scourge of indifference. Rather than seeking repentance, we aim to defend the truth against those who preach hate and deny genocide. The truth is the very foundation of our democracies, the basis for the dialogue on which they depend. It is also crucial to maintain a critical viewpoint by remembering the genocides that represent the deepest wounds that humanity has inflicted upon itself. Over and beyond the Shoah, the unique history of the Jewish people holds universal lessons.
