Lets talk aboutfieldworkfirst.Tospeakinrealisticterms,ifyou planonpursuinganacademiccareerinanthropology, such experiencesespecially in the fieldare not only viewed favorably by, say, graduate schools, they are

often required for admission. This is mostly because fieldwork is not for everyone.

Applying for Credits from NYU


PETITION FOR CREDIT FROM NON-NYU STUDY ABROAD (SUMMER 2007) Credit-Granting Programs/ Field Schools in Archaeology: (1) Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project Field School (with University of Mississippi, 6 credits offered) (2) San Jos del Moro Archaeological Project (with Pontificia Universidad Catlica del Per, 8 credits offered)* Dear Reader, As an archaeology student planning on attending graduate school in New World archaeology, fieldwork experience as an undergraduate is essential, and even required for acceptance. Furthermore, because archaeology is essentially a fieldwork-based discipline, such experiences will help jumpstart a possible future career in academia. Thus, archaeology students often spend their summers working on digs all over the world, learning first-hand the methods and techniques that cannot be taught in a classroom environment. Many of them attend specialized field schools that are run by or associated with credit-granting institutions. Unfortunately, because NYU does not host archaeological field school sessions both in New York and abroad, I have had to look elsewhere for such opportunities. This summer, I plan on participating in two separate field schools, both of which I have already been accepted to. The first, the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project (BVAR) Field School, will involve excavating at a Classic Maya site known as Baking Pot in Belize (see attached syllabus and website information). The second, the San Jos del Moro Archaeological Project Field School, will be held at the Moche burial site of San Jos del Moro near Chepn, Peru (see attached syllabus). Both will involve lectures, demonstrations, examinations, and of course, a chance to excavate full-time in the day, and to analyze the resulting finds at night. I am hoping that both of these field experiences will help me narrow down my research interests from New World archaeology to more specific topics. Since I am planning on applying for graduate school in the fall, this has become a more urgent matter, but one that I believe can be easily resolved. Working in the field will allow me to not only familiarize myself with different technologies and methodologies, it will help me understand the types of conditions under which I am willing and able to work. All in all, the rigorous and strenuous training offered by both these field schools will help me immensely in my preparation for a future in archaeology. Thank you. I gratefully appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely, XXXXXXXXXXX 4/11/07

s you may know, applying to have nonNYU credits accepted can be a headache, involving petitions, validations from the department, and

faculty recommendations. You may be required to follow differentproceduresfordifferenttypesofprograms.Thatis whywesuggestthatyouvisitaCASadvisororStudyAbroad advisor as soon as possible to determine your particular

course of action. If you are looking to transfer your credits fromafieldschoolabroad toNYU,forexample,youwillbe required to write a petition for nonNYU Study Abroad (see example at left), as well as have your department validate the relevancy of the program to your major. You will also needtoobtainarecommendation.Keepinmind,theremay be a limit to the amount of credit that NYU is willing to accept and there are rules about residency that you may need to follow (i.e., you must take your last 32 credits in houseatNYU.Also,ifyoureceivecredit,itmaycomeinthe formofapass/fail,ratherthanalettergrade.

Infalloflastyear,Iattendedastudyabroadprogram inMadagascarthroughSUNYStonyBrook.ThispastsummerI had the chance to return to the field site and complete the project on acoustic communication in the greater bamboo lemur (Prolemur simus). A Malagasy colleague and I finished recordingthevocalizations,andnowanothercoauthorandI are busy with the analysis for the final paper. It was quite different being an independent researcher, and it was stranger still to be the leader of the team, responsible for logistical and financial decisions. People quickly become fast friends when living together in the field, andthough the work was physically strenuousthe good company made it reallyenjoyable.Especiallynowthatthetemperature'sbelow freezinginNewYork,I'mitchingtogetbacktotheforest.The leeches,speakingofitching,aretheonethingIdon'tmiss.

TheOmetepeBiologicalFieldStation(seepage48)islocatedonthe remote island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. I enrolled in the month long coursePrimateBehaviorandEcologytaughtbyProfessorDonatiofOxford University. The first goal of the course was to teach basic field techniques used when studying primates in the rainforest. This included topography techniques and data recording methods. Secondly, the program educated students on primate behavior and ecology from every region of the world, beginning with Lemurs and ending with modern living Great Apes. The educationalsectionofthecoursefocusedontheMantledHowlerMonkeys nativetotheisland. Using the field techniques and class lectures I created a twoweek researchproject.Ithentrackedasubjectandrecordedinformationtailored tomyresearchproject,whichfocusedonfeedingposturesandfoodsource variations as a function of gender and age.

Over the past summer, I attended a field school at the Ometepe Biological Field Station (see page 48) in Nicaragua. Ometepe is an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua and, in addition to about 30,000 people, it is home to large populations of whitethroated capuchin (Cebuscapucinus)andblackmantledhowler(Alouattapalliata)monkeys. Atthefieldstation,ItookaclassentitledAdvancedPrimateBehavior&Ecology.Theadvancedpartofthenamesignifiedagreater emphasis on independent research projects. We were required to attend lectures on field techniques only (none on behavioral ecology), helping budget more time for developing the project and collecting data.
