Study at the world’s foremost seminar in numismatic methods and theory
For over half a century, The American Numismatic Society, a scholarly organization and museum of coins, money, and the economic history of all periods, has offered select graduate students and Junior faculty the opportunity to work hands‐on with its preeminent numismatic collections. With over three-­‐quarters of a million objects, the collection is particularly strong in Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Far Eastern coinages, as well as Medallic Art. The rigorous seven-week course taught by the museum staff, guest lecturers and a visiting scholar introduces students to the methods, theories and history of the discipline. The seminar is meant primarily for those with limited or no numismatic background in order to familiarize students of (art) history, textual studies, and archaeology with a body of evidence that is often overlooked and poorly understood. Applications are due no later than February 10, 2012.  A limited number of $4,000 stipends are available to qualifying students. This year’s Visiting Scholar will be Prof. Alain Bresson of the Department of Classics at University of Chicago. Prof. Bresson is well-known for his research and publications on ancient economies, numismatics and epigraphy.
To apply, you must submit the application form and have three referees fill out the evaluation form below. Complete applications must be received by February 10, 2012.

The National Park Service’s 2012 workshop on archaeological prospection techniques entitled Current Archaeological Prospection Advances for Non-Destructive Investigations in the 21st Century will be held May 7-11,  2012, at the Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala, Nebraska.
Lodging will be at the Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala, Nebraska. The field exercises will take place at the site of Alkali Station near Paxton, Nebraska. Alkali Station was a major trail facility used by travelers on the Oregon and California trails, the Pony Express, the transcontinental telegraph, and the frontier army.
Co-sponsors for the workshop include the National Park Service’s Midwest Archeological Center, the Lute Family, and the University of Nebraska’s Cedar Point Biological Station. This will be the twenty-second year of the workshop dedicated to the use of geophysical, aerial photography, and other remote sensing methods as they apply to the identification, evaluation, conservation, and protection of archaeological resources across this Nation.
The workshop will present lectures on the theory of operation, methodology, processing, and interpretation with on-hands use of the equipment in the field. There is a registration charge of $475.00.
Application forms are available on the Midwest Archeological Center’s web page at  http://www.nps.gov/history/mwac/.

Brown International Advanced Research Institutes 2012 will offer 2-week intensive residential institutes for young faculty and professionals from around the world. These institutes are focused on Global Health; Climate Change; Development and Population; and Theater and Civil Society, and run from June 9-23.  Full details at brown.edu/biari.
Each Institute is organized as a mix of lectures, round table discussions, group work, field trips, cultural events and social interactions. Each is led by a team of distinguished Brown faculty who have invited world-renowned lecturers and speakers to join and participate in the Institute’s formal and informal activities. Institutes are residential, with accommodations and meals provided.
The Institutes are academically rigorous and admission is highly competitive. Financial support is available for international participants.
Review of applications begins January 4, 2012. Applicants early in their professional careers are especially welcome. Participant practitioners normally have four to ten years experience in their professional field.  Participants from an academic background are usually within seven years of having finished their PhD or professional terminal degree; on rare occasions, we accept exceptional pre-doctoral applicants.

All students are invited to apply:
*************Çatalhöyük, Turkey
*************Summer School July – August 2012
*************University of California Merced AND Stanford University
*************3-D ARCHAEOLOGY AT CATALHOYUK
What:
UC Merced’s School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts (Prof. Maurizio Forte), in collaboration with Stanford University, will continue the archaeological fieldwork and digital recording in the archaeological site of Çatalhöyük (http://www.catalhoyuk.com/), Turkey, in 2012, after the successful seasons 2010-2011. The scope is the three-dimensional reconstruction of all the archaeological phases of excavations during the fieldwork and the 3D data recording of the most important artifacts using Teleimmersive systems, computer vision and 3D laser scanners. 
Where: 
The Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük was first discovered in the late 1950s and excavated by James Mellaart between 1961 and 1965. The site rapidly became famous internationally due to the large size and dense occupation of the settlement, as well as the spectacular wall paintings and other art that was uncovered inside the site structures. Since 1993 an international team of archaeologists, led by Dr. Ian Hodder, has been carrying out new excavations and research in order to shed more light on the people that inhabited the site.
The Project:
Nowadays fieldwork archaeology is able to produce a major amount of information in comparison with the past thanks to an integrated use of digital technologies. This fact open new perspectives in the interpretation process but requires also more advanced skills in different domains.
Who:
Selected graduate and undergraduate students will join an international team of more than 120 archaeologists, anthropologists, paleo-environmental scientists, CRM experts, students and very distinguished professors of different disciplines. 
When:
July – August 2012.
Technologies:
Students will learn how to use optical scanners, time of flight scanners, photomodelling, DGPS, GIS, remote sensing, stereo systems of visualization and stereo digital cameras.  Students will also gain skills in archaeological excavation, computer modeling, 3D data recording by different kinds of scanners, use of DGPS (differential global positioning system), use of specific software of 3D data processing and modeling, computer graphics and digital photogrammetry.
The experience of fieldwork at Çatalhöyük is much more than an excavation; it is a unique learning experience with people coming from the entire world. 
If interested please contact Prof. Maurizio Forte: mforte@ucmerced.edu by November 1st, 2011.  The participation to the fieldwork includes enrollment in the summer course WH120.
