Jones" Subject: ane Call for student abstracts/papers, SAA Please forward to all the students that you think might be interested.... Thank you. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS/PAPERS for the Student Affairs Committee Sponsored Symposium 2002 Society for American Archaeology Annual Meetings Denver, March 20-24 Deadline: August 8th The SAA Student Affairs Committee is pleased to announce that it is accepting abstracts for consideration to be included in their 2002 sponsored symposium: "Ritual, Religion and Symbolic Behavior in the Archaeological Record" Session Abstract: The study of ritual, religion, and other symbolic behavior has waxed and waned in predominance throughout the history of anthropological research. The current revival of these concepts in anthropology as a discipline offers archaeologists a diversity of approaches and methods to interpret the archaeological record. As our theoretical understanding of ritual, religion and symbolic behavior matures, more archaeologists are willing to incorporate these complex concepts into their research of ancient lifeways. Representing a diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches and geographical locations, the papers in this symposium explore ritual, religion and other symbolic behavior as they are expressed in the archaeological record. We are also pleased to announce that Professors Rosemary Joyce (UC - Berkeley) and Steve Lekson (University of Colorado) have agreed to act as discussants for this symposium. To submit a paper for consideration, please send your paper title and abstract to Michelle Woodward () by August 8th. The Student Affairs Committee members will anonymously review all submissions. Selected papers will be presented at the 2002 Annual Meetings in Denver. - -- - -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Chuck Jones ANE list-owner ce-jones@uchicago.edu - -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2001 09:03:52 -0500 From: "Charles E.

The Mesopotamian myths identify Dilmun as what lies behind the Eden myth. Dilmun is said in some myths to lie at "the mouths of the rivers, alluding to the Tigris and Euphrates that empty into the marshlands south of Eridu where Enki and Adapa live (Adapa being Adam who loses a chance to eat food which would bestow immortality on him and mankind when tricked by his god Enki). Enki's eating of his wife's plants in Dilmun, leads to his impending death, he wanting "to know" or "acquire knowledge" about the forbidden plants (eaten without his wife's permission), thus her cursing him with death. Enkidu the wild naked man of the steppe (Edinu), who roams with the animals until ensnared by the charms of a naked courtesan brought to undo him, reflects Adam who is naked and who has a naked woman brought to him. All this talk of sinking continents or continental shelves makes no sense to me. The Mesopotamian myths do. So, Eden was Edinu and it was the marshlands of lower Mesopotamia, all conflated together and reformatted.

Jones" Subject: ane Research Archives on-line catalogue Since we put in on-line about a year and a half ago, the On-Line Catalogue of the Research Archives at the Oriental Institute has logged over fifty thousand user sessions from nearly twenty thousand users in ninety-nine countries. About a thousand users could be considered regulars. http://oilib.uchicago.edu/oilibcat.html At the beginning of 2001 we began to enter all analytical records directly into the database. So for this period, each essay, article, and review appearing in books and journals acquired here has an entry in the on line catalogue. Each book also has a main entry, and those references are periodically gathered and published (and distributed by e-mail) in the Oriental Institute Research Archives Acquisitions Lists: http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/DEPT/RA/RABooks.html We have quite a long way to go before retrospective conversion of the collection is any where near complete, but we are working towards that goal. I am aware of some continuing web-browser display problems - we're working towards fixing them also. All users can rest comforted in the thought that their comments, complaints will be handled by me personally! Give it a try... - -Chuck Jones- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Charles E.
