These pages contain several handouts, readings, and other material I've written or compiled over several years of teaching anthropology and archaeology courses. I'm putting them on-line to make them more accessible to current students, and to share with anyone else who may want to use them. Feel free to e-mail me with comments or suggestions!

That Utterly They Might Not Be Forgotten. A few short excerpts from Thomas Wolf's Look Homeward Angel. Wonderful passages demonstrating the deep meaning of gravestones and mortuary symbolism, cultural continuity/discontinuity, worldviews and religion expressed through architecture... Really they are just beautiful pieces of writing, though.
The Brief Duration of Human Life, and Our Limited Powers. This is an excerpt from Charles Lyell's introduction to his book Principles of Geology, Volume I (1830). It is a beautifully written meditation on the past, the present, and connecting the two. A very nice reading as an introduction to archaeology or any of the historical sciences.
Two Poems from one of my favorite writers, E.L. Mayo: A Further View, for teachers, and To the Young Rebels, for students.
More to come soon!
