Strongly suggested: The Elements of Style. 4th Ed. William Strunk and E.B. White. Longman: Massachusetts (available almost everywhere, including the Baylor Bookstore). Course Overview: This class is designed to introduce you to the structure, design, and variability of the modern human skeleton. Much as the bony skeleton offers a framework for the rest of the body, so too will this course will provide a foundation for future studies in areas such as forensic sciences, physical anthropology, archaeology, and most aspects of medicine. For each element of the skeleton we will examine issues of structure, function, development, and evolutionary history. Lectures will also emphasize aspects of bone histology and biology, excavation and preservation, taphonomy, pathology, and the estimation of age and stature. Lab sections will focus on recognition of bony elements and their major features. By the end of the semester you will be able to identify every bone in the body, recognize some of their important landmarks, and determine the side of the body to which a particular bone belongs. You will also learn a few basic things about the differences in skeletal structure between males and females, and adults and sub-adults. Assessment: • Lab quizzes (30%). Practical quizzes are cumulative throughout the semester. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Due to the difficulty in set-up, quizzes cannot be made up. • Super quiz (10%). The final quiz over the entire skeleton is worth an additional 10%. Participation in this final quiz is a requirement to pass the course and, like the other quizzes, cannot be made up. • Examinations (30%). A midterm (15%) and final exam (15%) will be administered. The final is broadly cumulative. • John/Jane Doe Project (10%). Students will study and give a brief (5-10 minute) presentation on a bone assemblage. Details of the assignment will be given out in class. • Research Paper (20%). Each student will write a 5-7 page research paper. The paper can be on anything related to human osteology. Pursue your interests; explore a topic that really excites you! A minimum of three (3) peer-reviewed references required; non- journal web-pages are categorically NOT academic references. All references should be parenthetically cited and included in a complete bibliography. The final draft is due on April 29.

Abstract Sommer, Caitlin Ariel, M.A. (Anthropology Department) Title: Animacy, Symbolism, and Feathers from Mantle’s Cave, Colorado Thesis directed by Dr. Stephen H. Lekson Rediscovered in the 1930s by the Mantle family, Mantle’s Cave contained excellently preserved feather bundles, a feather headdress, moccasins, a deer-scalp headdress, baskets, stone tools, and other perishable goods. From the start of excavations, Mantle’s Cave appeared to display influences from both Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples, leading Burgh and Scoggin to determine that the cave was used by Fremont people displaying traits heavily influenced by Basketmaker peoples. Researchers have analyzed the baskets, cordage, and feather headdress in the hopes of obtaining both radiocarbon dates and clues as to which culture group used Mantle’s Cave. This thesis attempts to derive the cultural influence of the artifacts from Mantle’s Cave by analyzing the feathers.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Archaeology and Education by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@UMaine. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Whittaker: Teaching Bones from my Garden Abstract Faunal analysis, or zooarchaeology, is an important subfield that provides information on human ecology, economy, culture, and society. Few of my students have much experience with hunting, farming, anatomy, or even eating meat these days, so faunal analysis labs in an Archaeological Field Methods class present some difficulties. Faunal assemblages from archaeological sites are often small, fragile, and too valuable for class use. They require good comparative collections, and it may be difficult for students to relate to unfamiliar animals and cultures. These problems can be overcome by producing a faunal teaching assemblage from home meat consumption. For over 20 years I have composted all organics from my kitchen, and subsequently collected bone from my garden. A useful assemblage can be created in a much shorter time if the bones are prepared by maceration instead of composting.

Byram, Ph.D., Indiana University School of Medicine Learning Objectives • Identify anatomical position and anatomical planes, and use directional terms to describe relative positions of bones • Describe the gross structure and microstructure of bone as it relates to bone function • Describe types of bone formation and remodeling, and identify (by name) all of the bones of the human skeleton • Distinguish major bony features of the human skeleton like muscle attachment sites and passages for nerves and/or arteries and veins • Identify the bony features relevant to estimating age, sex, and ancestry in forensic and bioarchaeological contexts • Compare human and chimpanzee skeletal anatomy Anthropology is the study of people, and the skeleton is the framework of the person. So while all subdisciplines of anthropology study human behavior (culture, language, etc.) either presently or in the past, biological anthropology is the only subdiscipline that studies the human body specifically. And the fundamental core of the human (or any vertebrate) body is the skeleton. Osteology, or the study of bones, is central to biological anthropology because a solid foundation in osteology makes it possible to understand all sorts of aspects of how people have lived and evolved.

  • Graduate Requirements, Policies, Guidelines, and Procedures Nautical Archaeology Program Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University
    GRADUATE REQUIREMENTS, POLICIES, GUIDELINES, AND PROCEDURES NAUTICAL ARCHAEOLOGY PROGRAM DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Introduction The intent of this document is to lay out the basic requirements, guidelines, policies, and procedures for earning a graduate degree specialization in nautical archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at Texas A&M University. It should be used in conjunction with the Department of Anthropology Graduate Student Handbook. Nautical archaeology is the study of the remains of ships in the context of the cultures that created and used them. By carefully excavating and recording shipwrecks, then conserving and analyzing the recovered artifacts, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the seafaring past. Archaeological investigations have shed light on the history of wooden ship construction and related technology, shipboard life, the development of maritime trade and economic systems, naval warfare, and the role of seafaring in exploration and contact between cultures. The Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP) of the Anthropology Department at Texas A&M University (TAMU) specializes in training graduate students in the archaeology and history of ships and seafaring. Courses focus primarily, although not exclusively, on maritime activity in the ancient Mediterranean and Medieval Europe, as well as world-wide seafaring in the post- Medieval era. The seven faculty members of the NAP are united in their scientific approach and share common interests in the following four themes: I. Ship Construction - Focuses on the evolution of wooden-planked water transport including the development of building techniques and the underlying philosophies guiding design and construction practices. All time periods, including ancient, medieval, and early modern, are topics of study.

Meticulous examination of the archaeo- logical literature, especially footnotes and acknowledgments, and the archival records of major universities, museums, field school programs, expeditions, and general anthropological archives reveals a complex story of marginalization and professional invisibility, albeit one that will be surprising neither to feminist scholars nor to female archaeologists.
