My name is Kayla and I am a programming assistant at the Native American Cultural Center located in the first floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. One recurrent program is a Bi-weekly Speaker Series. We invite students, professors, department staff and outside guests to present on given topics at lunchtime. In the past we've invited students to present honors theses, give traditional craft demonstrations, or share their experiences from a program that range from informal to formal. The goals are to build community (we learn more about each other!), increase awareness of the awesome programs that are out there, and increase Native American community participation in those programs. We may be a smaller community, but our voices can be heard in many areas of the Stanford Community! Please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu if you are interested. Also, if you have a particular suggestion for the small lunch, let me know. For example, students who went abroad to Italy did Italian food and organized their own potluck that wasn't as small. -- Kayla Rae Carpenter Hupa/Yurok/Karuk Stanford '10 Linguistics [12:00pm-1:00pm] Dean Eyre's Office Hour Description: Come visit with Dean Eyre and find out how the Undergraduate Advising and Research program can help you shape your personal adventures! 1:00pm   2:00pm [2:00pm-5:00pm] Archaeology Center Pottery Workshop Series #2 Description: Inca Pottery Replication Imperial Inca pottery was an important symbolic marker to elites and commoners across the Andes beginning in the 1400s. It was known for the standardized forms, the richness of the color palette, perfection in execution of design motifs, and thoroughness of its firing method. After the Spanish Conquest of the 1530s, production of this highly prized pottery style ceased. No one since has been able to copy the skill or technology developed by these clay experts. Join us at the Archaeology Center as we use clay imported from an Inca pottery production site of Choquepukio in Cuzco, Peru and Inca potsherds from that same site to retrace the steps of imperial artists of the ancient Andes. Using fuels that were available during the Inca period, all pots will be fired in a bonfire at the Gym dig site on Friday, Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting) and removed at 5:00 p.m. (or before dark). Melissa Chatfield received her Ph.D in Anthropology from UC Santa Barbara in 2007 and is currently a Research Fellow in Ceramic Geoarchaeology at the Archaeology Center. She has conducted research on Inca pottery and other styles from the Cuzco region of Peru for the last 15 years. Her work at Stanford examines innovation in clay technology and the transmission of that knowledge in prehistoric societies. The current replication event is the second in a series of six to be hosted on campus by the Stanford President's Fund for Innovation in the Humanities and by the Archaeology Center."
