I checked the Cuno book on Alibris and the cheapest I could get was fifteen dollars but that did not include shipment. So I'm not interested. All of my books on archaeology ( and there are hundreds) are books that I use as reference and refer to o...
I would be interested in participating in discussion of this book. But I will participate only if the book is available second hand from Alibris. I do not currently have this book. I have not yet checked on the availability of Who Owns Antiquity? ...
ha ha - I have no idea, it appeared out of nowhere and I asked my husband the same thing! it's just something that social networks under the ning aegis tend to do, so they added it without my knowledge. I can't get rid of it, so just ignore it. I think the gifts are free, but I haven't checked yet - it's just a way to send something cute to someone else, but completely unnecessary.
Ben's address is: bnelson@asu.edu and I will send him a quick note to let him know that a question might be coming, either from you or from Allan. Will that help? The acoustics and microphone were pretty unacceptable, weren't they? We'll be working on that in the next week or so.
I've checked it out today and the room is great - there's a Starbucks down below on the first floor that's open til 8 if you find yourself starving, but we have decided on sticking with the Phoenicia for dinner, which would be after the talk. As I said the parking garage is directly across the street, closer than any other street or handicapped parking spaces. There are some metered spaces around, but they max at one hour, and it's $1.50 for that hour in quarters. The elevators (a pair of them) are in the center of the building, and when they open onto the 3rd floor, the lecture hall is right in front of you with multiple entries, either left or right. Not bad at all over there - the only thing is the walk to Phoenicia afterwards, but if you're parked there, it's no problem to drive up to the north end of campus.
Oh, and I have asked Mira and Tom what we're doing for dinner - don't know yet if we're sticking with Phoenicia or not, simply because now that we're toward the south end of campus, we might want to look into going someplace down there to avoid long walks.
It is for members only, but people can sign up to be members without being "okayed" by me. I check as often as I can to insure that the new members are "legit" and then send them welcome notes. Since it was the Labor Day weekend I didn't check and this person slipped in and left messages. I don't think there's a way I can screen before they become members, but I will check that out.
Wonderful! Thanks for the contribution. We are making an effort to include at least one talk on Egypt and at least one Southwestern/local site every year. We've got an Aztec theme for our "notes from the field" this semester as well.
Oh thank you! Yes, we're thrilled about the upcoming series this year - it has a perfect balance of topics. We're also working on a few other outreach programs that will necessarily deal with the native materials too! Look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks, and will let you know when check arrives - you are the best!
Good afternoon. I looked into swapping our January and February talks. Our February speaker is teaching at a university and the January lecture date is too close to the beginning of the term. Thus, we are keeping the schedule of Mrs. Lesko in January and Renata Holod in February.
