<p class=MsoNormal>The Anthropology Department's 2009 Silver Medal lecture and
the presentation of the Silver Medal and Sally Weaver awards will take place on
Friday October 16 at 7:30 in the evening in room EIT 1015 of UW's Centre for
Environmental and Information Technology, the building just south of the Davis
Centre.<br>
<br>
The lecture will be given by Canadian writer and popularizer of archaeological
knowledge Heather Pringle. Author of "In Search of Ancient North America:
An Archaeological Journey to Forgotten Cultures" and many magazine
articles on archaeological topics, and currently author of a blog for
Archaeology magazine, her lecture will be entitled "The Barenaked
Archaeologist: Telling Tales of the Past out of School and in the Media."
It will address how archaeologists might better convey the importance and interest
of archaeology to the public, based on what she describes as 25 years of
observation of how archaeologists communicate to the public and amongst
themselves.<br>
<br>
This Silver Medal lecture will serve double-duty as the kick-off of the Ontario
Archaeological Society's annual symposium, which the Anthropology department is
hosting that weekend--you can find much more information about the symposium
and about Heather's lecture here: <a href="http://oas2009.uwaterloo.ca">http://oas2009.uwaterloo.ca</a><br>
<br>
Heather's lecture is free and will be open to the general public. It will be
followed by a reception in the same building, to which everyone is invited.<o:p></o:p></p>
