Are you interested in getting some hands-on experience in anthropology or archaeology?
The MAS is hosting a field school talk where Meghan Burchell will speak about McMaster’s own archaeology field school, and Dr. Tracy Prowse will discuss her bio-archaeology field school. We will also have information on field schools offered by other Canadian universities, the details of which will find the way to this blog afterward.
If you get hungry, we’ll be having pizza in the hallway after! (… we can’t eat in the lab.)

We’re having the first pub night of the semester, and you should come! Everybody’s invited, but please keep in mind that you will need to be at least 19 to attend.

We provide the tools, you carve a sweet pumpkin!
Bring a nonperishable food item to get in and we’ll donate it to a food drive afterward.
Pumpkins will be 2$.
If you get hungry we’ll have a bake sale raising funds for our Undergraduate Research Symposium.
Here are some of last year’s happy (ecstatic?) carvers:
The lab is a little tough to find because it’s actually below ground level, but here’s a map you can use to find your way. We’ll have pumpkins or decorations by the entrance so you can see where we are.
If you like clicking buttons, attend our Facebook event.
UNICEF is helping us out with the event, so feel free to check out their Trick or Eat Carnival before you come over!

Every year the MAS invites the entire anthropology faculty — professors, graduate students, and administrative staff alike — to mingle with the undergraduates. If you’ve ever wanted to meet your professors or classmates, now’s the time!
Finger-food will be provided and a cash bar will be available… for those of age, of course.
Our lovely t-shirts will also be on sale, or at least to order, at the event.
Directions: The event is being held in Wentworth House, which is a room in The Phoenix (the bar between Mills Library and MDCL). Once you go into the building, go up the stairs and straight into the room in front of you. We’ll have signs up, and the Phoenix provides a chalkboard sign that will direct you to the location once inside the building.
Wentworth House and The Phoenix are number 21 on the university’s campus map.
The event can be found on Facebook if you think you need a reminder (or if you just really like clicking buttons).

Our first general meeting will involve information about this year’s events and informational presentations and Q&A sessions about grad school.
McMaster anthropology MA and PhD candidates will share their experiences while talking about what you’ll need to know to apply to grad school, when to do it, and how and when to apply for funding.
Pizza will be provided!
If you’d like a reminder of the event, RSVP on our Facebook event.
