From the Community page, there are two routes you can take to find the anthropos group:1. Type "anthropos" into the search box on the left, OR
2. Click on the "Student Organizations" link under the Heading Organizational Catalog. From there, click on the Academic link, then scroll until you find "anthropos" within the pages that come up.
Once you find the anthropos group you must enroll. On the far right side of the page, you will see an "Enroll" button. Click this and then click "submit" on the page that opens. You are now an anthropos member!
Department Facilities
The Department moved into a newly renovated facility in 2001. Specifically designed for the Department, it has the following special features:
- Three archaeology laboratories, with workspace for artifact analysis and small methods classes, media capabilities, student computer workstations or offices, and storage.
- Two biological anthropology laboratories: the Laboratory of Osteology and the Paleoanthropology Laboratory. The Laboratory of Osteology is a teaching and research facility that houses an extensive collection of human, primate, and comparative faunal teaching materials, as well as student office and research space. There are two computers used for data collection and analysis. The Paleoanthropology Laboratory houses the human fossil reproduction collection (approximately 400 specimens), a small paleolithic artifact teaching collection, and the paleoanthropological slide and video archive.
- One ethnographic laboratory, including data storage and student workspace, a computer workstation, and facilities for small methods classes and seminars.
- The department has its own computer lab, student common area, and conference room. The graduate students have a large office with personal shared computers and printers, storage space, a small library, and kitchen facilities.
- Archaeological Equipment: The Department has extensive holdings in instructional technology for archaeology: Global Positioning Systems, Total Stations for survey and excavation, Total Station Data Collector, several laptop computers used in field data collection and analysis, a Transit, sub-soil probes, digital cameras, other cameras, microscopes, light tables and drafting tables.
- Biological anthropology resources: The Department has several hundred fossil human casts, an extensive collection of modern human and primate comparative skeletal and dental material, a full range of caliper sets including anthropometric and osteometric instruments, an extensive paleoanthropology slide collection, and A.D.A.M. medical-school level anatomical computer software.
- Ethnographic equipment: Materials available for ethnographic research include a new Digital Ethnographic Laboratory, digital audio recorders, transcribing software and equipment, a digital video camera, film cameras, TV/VCR units, slide projectors, and a library of ethnographic videos.
