This page contains links to various anthropological and
archaeological web sites. Some medical and cultural sites are
included as well, as they provide insight and usful information
to those studying physical and sociocultural anthropology.
All Four Subfields
- ACT:
Anthropological Center for Training and Research on
Global and Environmental Change
"ACT is a center where interdisciplinary training
and research of the human dimensions of global
environment change takes place." This amazing
facility is located here on the IU Bloomington campus. If
you are interested in such things, contact Emilio Moran,
or check out this web page.
- American Anthropological
Association
The AAA has links to numerous resources in all of the
subfields, as well as jobs links. The 'Anthro Links' has
an amazing variety of links to look through. I suggest
spending at least an hour looking over this page, because
there is so much here.
Physical and Biological Anthropology
- The Leakey
Foundation
The Leakey Foundation home page features information of
human origins and paleoanthropology. It includes both
history and current events in this area. It even offers a
link to travel possibilites to research sites.
- PIN: Primate
Information Network
This page, run by the University of Wisconsin, offers all
kinds of information on primatology, including links to
and about: primates, products for primates, careers,
zoos, zoo exhibits and much, much more. I suggest also
checking out the WPRC: Wisconsin Primate Research Center,
for which there is a link on this page.
Archaeology
- CRAFT:
Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations
of Technology
CRAFT is also located on the IU Bloomington campus.
"The CRAFT Research Center is directed towards
investigating the archaeological origins and evolution of
human technology over the past three million years."
It is run by Kathy Schick Nickolas Toth.
- Glenn A. Black Lab
of Archaeology
Another wonderful resource here on campus, located
between Indiana Ave. and Fess on 8th Street, just behind
the Mathers Museum. The web site has links to
FEILDSCHOOLS, personnel, exhibits and many other useful
things. I suggest walking by sometime when you've got a
little time.
- Monroe County
Historical Society
The Monroe County Historical Society is another great
resource that is within walking distance. Located at 202
E. 6th Street, it is only block south of Kirkwood. I have
volunteered there and gained a great deal of experience.
You can work at the front desk, with computers, with the
collections or anything else that they need help with at
the time. And, if you are a Bloomington native, I suggest
checking out the Genealogy library. Here they have
information on all the established families of Monroe
Co., ranging from birth and death certificates to
newspaper clippings.
- University
of Oxford Institute for Cultural Anthropology
I chose this web site to list simply because it is
Oxford, in addition to having a great deal of useful
information. Possibly one of the best things to check out
on this page is their Anthropological resources on the
Web link, which has a wealth of useful pages to look
over. Also, do read some of the reports that they have
listed; they will not only be interesting, but give you
ideas about what you might like to do in the future and
expose you to writing styles used in this particular
subfeild.
