I’m a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington’s anthropology program, where I received my bachelor of arts in anthropology with a focus on archaeology. I’m about to begin my graduate studies with an eye on at least an M.A. in the field of archaeology if not a Ph.D. My desire is to work in the field of cultural resource management but also to write about anthropology and, in particular, archaeology. I have a fascination with pseudoarchaeology and so-called “alternative” archaeology and what it is that drives people to believe in this and other pseudoscientific notions, so I also find it interesting and, perhaps, necessary to write about these topics with an intent on clarifying and exposing them for the poor science that they are.
Shamed into joining the 21st century by our younger ACOR colleagues, we have established a blog to chronicle our adventures in academia, archaeology, and the Mediterranean. We hope to post regular updates and musings about our life in the Middle East, Canada and the U.S.

Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities.
Colleen Morgan is an archaeology Ph.D. candidate in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. After receiving her B.A. in Anthropology/Asian Studies in 2004 at the University of Texas, Colleen worked as a professional archaeologist. Since that time, she has worked in Texas, Turkey, Hawaii and California, excavating sites 100 years old and 9,000 years old and anything in-between. Her dissertation is based on building archaeological narratives with New Media, using digital photography, video, mobile and locative devices. She is deeply interested in excavation methodology, high falutin’ theory, skeuomorphs and good bourbon.
Mirabilis.ca » history & archaeology
What is Mirabilis.ca? It’s a weblog, which means you’ll find links and commentary, regularly updated. You’ll find new content here almost every day. I started Mirabilis.ca because it seemed that I was forever sending email to friends, telling them about some cool site I’d found. Finally I decided that it would be easier to list my finds on a website, and here it is. What kind of topics does this blog cover? In the past few years, the things I’ve blogged about have fit mostly within these categories: history and archaeology, books and lit, language, food, religion, animals, insects, etc, language, environment, fun, technology, strange stuff, health, art, and privacy. There’s more, of course — whatever I come across that seems fascinating.
Online supplement to museum anthropology, the journal of the council for museum anthropology, a section of the American Anthropological Association
I am an archaeologist. I teach at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Most of my fieldwork is in Alaska, but I also occasionally find time for projects in Minnesota. My principle interests are in the evolution of social organization and complex hunter-gatherers. I primarily use a household archaeology approach, which I feel gives me great insight into how people lived in the past. The Alaska sites I work on usually produce an extraordinarily well-preserved collection of artifacts including stone tools, ivory carvings, bone sewing needles, and an abundance of faunal remains (bones and shell from ancient meals). I use this blog to post updates on my research and that of my students. The three projects we will mostly discuss include my dissertation work on Unimak Island (Alaska), our current projects in Aniakchak Bay (Alaska), and an urban archaeology project in the Hamline neighborhood (St. Paul, MN).
Open Access Anthropology — Promoting Open Access in Anthropology
This is the blog for Open Access Anthropology, an organization of volunteers interested in creating open access alternatives to anthropological publications. This blog will be the news outlet for the organization where we will announce news like current events progress within the discipline.
If anthropology claimed the world for study by Europeans and Americans, OPEN ANTHROPOLOGY is (also) about “the world” reclaiming anthropological knowledge for its own self-understanding, self-expression, and self-identification.
Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan
An ancient seafaring people driven both by a desire for wealth and power, and deep spiritual beliefs circled the globe throughout much of history helping to shape today’s world. As fanciful as that might sound, countless historians, archaeologists, antiquarians and others have interpreted existing evidence in just this way. The trail of this mysterious culture to them was simply too obvious and could not be explained by mere coincidence. The purpose of this blog is to show that just such a culture did exist and to explain it in ways not done before. I would like to offer the evidence that my own ancestors, who spoke Austronesian languages, were these seafaring people who greatly impacted the world we live in today. My purpose is to provide a first-hand view from one whose worldview is partially shaped by the old Austronesian speakers, and one who has learned much from the elders.
