Have you ever climbed a tree? If so, you might remember some of the challenges associated with moving or stabilizing your weight on small, flexi-ble supports. Most living nonhuman primates spend the majority of their time foraging and trav-eling efficiently both between and within tree crowns. Challenges they confront include the absence of continuous routes of travel, difficulties in bridging (stretching the body across a gap) and leaping across gaps within the tree crown or be-tween tree crowns. Positional behavior is the study of locomotion and posture. As a primatologist, positional behavior is a particularly exciting field as it allows the assessment of the many inter-related variables that influence the way an individ-ual moves through the trees. Because most extinct and living primates are arboreal, understanding the way they move also helps us understand primate evolution. For the past 45 years, the study of primate positional behavior has not changed all that much. Typically a researcher goes out to the field and uses behavioral sampling to examine the context of positional behaviors (i.e., behaviors such as feeding, foraging, traveling, or socializing), the positional behaviors themselves (e.g., leaping, climbing, quadru-pedal walking, etc.), and the arboreal context (i.e., branch size, angle, height in tree, etc.). Some researchers have argued that we need to worry about definitions of positional categories and have provided long lists of variables to consider (Hunt et al., 1996). Others have suggested that we need to be a bit more rigorous in our statistical handling of our data (Dagosto and Gebo, 1998). To better understand the role of environmental influences on posi-tional behavior, researchers integrate the following variables into their behavioral research: support size, support angle, and height of individual in canopy. This can be particularly challenging as an individual primate may be moving high up in a tree where estimating branch size and angle can be difficult while the re-searcher is standing many meters below on the ground. There-fore, I have often wondered about the accuracy of these esti-mates.

Researchers have used two primary methods for estimating support size. One method is to use the size of the focal individual (e.g., hands, torso) to assess a size of the support and if the support deforms under the body mass of the focal animal. These size categories can be translated to metric categories by comparison to a captive individual or skeleton. Other researchers have provided metric estimates of support diameter or circumference (e.g., twig <2 cm, branch ≥ 2cm ≤10cm, etc.). Estimating support angle can be especially diffi-cult as distance from substrate, adjacent substrates, and foliage may influence estimates. This is prob-lematic because many definitions of positional behaviors integrate information on support angle. Some researchers may use the category ‘climb’ to describe all movement that occurs on vertically oriented substrates, while other researchers (e.g., Hunt, et al., 1996) may define several categories of climb such as ‘scramble climb’ (≥ 45˚), ‘pulse climb’(≥ 45˚), and ‘bimanual pull-up’ (horizontal support).

weight or changing the way in which weight is distributed above and below supports. For example, larger-bodied primates are expected to climb more and leap less than their smaller counterparts. In addition, larger primates are expected to use larger supports for weight bearing and maintaining the center of gravity. Therefore, correct estimates of the size and angle of the support are critical for interpreting how arboreal primates are able to behave in all areas of the forest

canopy. The results of our ground-level angle estimates suggest that researchers should attempt to identify more precisely how individual primates interact with substrates of varying size, angle, and

forest zone. Positional behaviors are necessarily ecological and as field re-searchers, we seek to understand every aspect of how a substrate mediates move-ment. Arboreal primates differ in the degree to which they interact with their substrate through foraging and in the consistency of their daily travel routes. These features in combination with body weight, morphology, and physiology are the basis for positional behaviors. Inte-gration of more precise details of support use (and variation) will provide clearer understanding of the behavior selection on particular supports. The results of this research are forthcoming in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

During the past two summers, Dr. Sean Watts and I have conducted field research that involves climbing trees. Dr. Matt Jobin has helped with the analysis. Thus far, we have climbed a total of seven trees and have measured approximately 25 different sub-strate sizes, angles, and heights. It can take a total of three days to climb a tree, includ-ing selecting the tree, setting an anchor, waiting for it to stop raining, and finally collecting the information. Then, with the help of undergraduate research assistants we compared the true measures to the ground estimates. We found we were best able to assess support size in categories that consid-ered the size of the primate individual’s hand or body. Assessing support angle pro-duced the greatest difficulty. Estimates were influenced by distance from support, height of support, and supports near the substrate in question. Angles were best estimated in 5-degree increments and then checked using a clinometer in combination with a laser pointer. Estimating height in the canopy also presented a challenge. We sug-gest that future studies should consider testing observer error several times through-out the study with known substrates. Height in the tree was best estimated using a cli-nometer, as estimates with a two-meter reference at the base of the tree varied sub-stantially even by the most experienced observer. Why is this important? Several re-searchers have discussed possible solutions individual primates use to deal with the flexibility and unpredictability of arboreal supports including lowering the center of

Our newsletter was a continuation of the tradition established by Professor Witold Kras-sowski when we were a joint department of Anthropology and Sociology. As with Profes-sor Krassowski, we’ve seen this newsletter as a vehicle for maintaining contact with our most important clients, our students both past and present. We hope to convey the developments we’ve made in our program and to communicate the achievements of our faculty and all of you. I hope you alums will take the time to let us know what’s happening in your lives so that the next editor will have a rich assortment of stories to convey.

THE ANTHROPOLOGIST PAGE 3

Last year was an interesting year in the Anthropology department. One of the most significant events of the year was the promotion of Mary Hegland to Professor last spring. Her long term dedication to Iran and to Santa Clara was finally rewarded. In Winter quarter we hired a new historical archaeologist, Lee Panich, who will be working on Spanish Colonial period archaeology, in both Baja and Alta California. We are pleased to have Lee join the department! We would also like to welcome a new lecturer to the department for the 2011-2012 academic year, Dr. Sangeeta Luthra. Sangeeta has taught a variety of courses in cultural anthropology for us over the last ten years, and we are pleased to have her here fulltime. The rest of our faculty have also been actively engaged in re-search and teaching over the last year. Dr. Bezanson continues her work in Costa Rica with capuchin and howler monkeys (life histo-ry and locomotion) and ran a field course with Dr. Sean Watts (ESI). Dr. Hegland focused on writing a book for Stanford Uni-versity Press about her research in Iran during the Revolution in 1979. Dr. Calero was in Colombia last fall. He continues to work on issues of migration and conflict resolution during the country's last decades. Dr. Gullette has worked on developing and expand-ing his research on internal migration in Thailand. Dr. Jobin con-tinued his work on genetics research, culminating in a publication in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2011/08/19/science.1209202) furthering our understanding about the evolu-tionary history of modern Homo sapiens. We applaud his accom-plishment! Dr. Westermark enjoyed spending the spring and summer in Oregon, and travelling with his wife Kimberly. I was on leave in the Spring and took the opportunity to return to Turkey for a con-ference on archaeological ceramics. The Archaeology Research

Lab was very active over the summer, with both Linda and a Volunteer Coordi-nator organizing and managing our exten-sive archaeological collections as well as the ‘orphaned’ collections that were aban-doned in Ricard Observatory by previous occupants. Linda Hylkema monitored several campus archaeology projects, par-ticularly in advance of the construction of the new Enrollment Services building.

The faculty are still working into the recently introduced Core Curriculum (2009), creating new Cultures and Ideas classes for freshmen and expanding our Core offerings in Diversity and Ex-periential Learning for Social Justice. Our students have been busy as well, doing internships both locally and abroad, working with the faculty through Lynch In-ternships, and enjoying the Anthropology Club activities. The Anthropology Club once again did a great job organizing our Anthropology Banquet in the spring, honoring our talented anthro-pology majors. The ‘Anthropology Mix’ of songs is always a special treat! Looking forward, we are in the process of hiring a Biological Anthropologist with an interest in Public Health. New to SCU, the Public Health Science program has gotten off to a very successful start. Our new faculty member will allow our students to engage with a new range of issues at the interface of both local and global public health. The faces of Anthropology at SCU are changing fast! All the Best, Lisa Kealhofer

Department Chair

Letter from the Chair

Note from Dr. Skowronek Those of you who passed through the SCU Anthropology Program in the past two decades might remember Russell Skowronek who served on the faculty from1991-2009. As you will recall he founded the SCU Archaeology Research Lab and the Research Manuscript Series. Most of our stu-dents did “time” in that Lab as part of their coursework and a subset of those worked there and pub-lished in the Series. Many students worked on a number of research projects as part of their class work during his tenure at SCU. During his second decade many worked on aspects of the Smithson-ian Pottery Project. Some did experimental work replicating ceramics, a number did internships in Washington, D.C. at the Smithsonian, and others conducted library research on pottery manufacture in late prehistoric- and early historic-era California. Those who conducted this research were co-authors on a number of scholarly papers and reports. Skowronek reports that the dozen years of study with his colleagues M. James Blackman and Ronald L. Bishop will soon be brought to fruition in a book to be published by the University Press of Florida. He will be certain to let us know when it is available. He also reminds us that the ex-hibit showcasing this work and crediting all of SCU’s contributions is still on display at El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park. On other research notes he is the recipient of a $99,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the work of the Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools (CHAPS) Program. Russ is the founding Director of this new program at the University of Texas Pan American in Edinburg, Texas. You can learn more about it at www.utpa.edu/chaps . Finally, he gave several lectures on pirates this year including one at the Witte Museum in San Antonio. Russ tells us to keep a weather eye open for the companion volume to “X-Marks the Spot, the Archaeology of Piracy” to be titled, “Pieces of Eight, More Ar-chaeology of Piracy.” Yo ho! He sends a big Texas hello to everyone!!

We are pleased to welcome our new faculty member, Dr. Lee Panich, who comes to us from the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his Ph.D. in 2009. Dr. Panich is an archaeologist whose re-search focuses on California and neighboring areas, particularly the Spanish mission system. From 2005-2009, he investigated the site of Mission Santa Catalina in Baja California, Mexico, where his research explored issues of native identi-ty and the role of Spanish missions in the broader indigenous landscape. As an outgrowth of these interests, he is collaborating with Mexican archae-ologists to study prehistoric and historic-era trade networks and landscape use in Baja California through the geochemical analysis of obsidian arti-facts. Dr. Panich also has extensive research expe-rience in the San Francisco Bay Area, including work within the cultural resources management industry. He looks forward to initiating a new pro-ject on the SCU campus that will involve students in the study of the Na-tive Americans who lived and worked at Mission Santa Clara.

Summer in Costa Rica: “A Field School Experience” During summer 2011, Dr. Bezanson taught the Primate Behavioral Ecology field course (ANTH 197). This is the fourth year that it was taught as an interdisciplinary field two-course sequence with Sean Watts’ (ENVS) summer field course in Costa Rica. Thirteen students from six departments (ACCT, ANTH, COMB, ENVS, BIO, BIO-ENG) designed and completed independent research projects on primate behavior and rain forest ecology. Independent Research Projects from the 2010 field course: Abriel, Will (major: Anthro., 2013): Positional behavior in Atelines. Brodoff, Micha (major: Anthro., 2012): Sex-based differences in foraging behavior in white-faced capu-chins (Cebus capucinus).

The fifth Annual Anthropology Banquet took place in March, 2011. Most anthropology majors and minors

attended the event and shared an excellent dinner at the Adobe Lodge followed by an entertaining presentation where the Anthro-pology Club provided powerpoint slides for spontaneous presenta-tions by Professors Bezanson, Gullette, Jobin, and King. The Anthropology Club was seemingly able to find the most silly and awkward anthropological images available on the internet! Professor Gullette created the Anthropology mix CD for all that attended the banquet. Students reported that it was a delightful and fun-filled event and look forward to the sixth Annual Anthropology Banquet.

Margaret Lender and Maxine DeVincenzi received the Anthropol-ogy Award. Danielle Pirelli received the Major with Outstanding Scholas-tic Achievement Award. Margaret Lender received the Father Eugene Buechel Award.

During the 2010-2011 academic year, Dr. Michelle Bezanson has enjoyed teach-ing, conducting research, and writing sev-eral papers. Watch for results to come out in the American Journal of Physical An-thropology and in an edited volume titled: Building babies: primate development in proximate and ultimate perspective. She presented results of her tree-truthing (described on Page 1 of this newsletter) project at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists annual meeting in Minneapolis in April. In March, 2010, Dr. Bezanson had the pleasure of being inter-viewed alongside Jean Auel (writer of the Clan of the Cave Bear) on NPR (http://onpoint.wbur.org/2011/03/31/jean-auel). As always, Dr. Bezanson had an amazing time in Costa Rica with ten undergraduate students and learning about new ways to think about the rainforest. Watch for the student presentations in our 39th annual Anthropology and Sociology Undergradu-ate Research Conference on April 28, 2012. As in years past, Fr. Luis Calero joined the teaching faculty at Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia, during the fall. While the school does not have a De-partment of Anthropology, it offers a wide range of courses in many related areas: peace and conflict resolution, environment and culture, inter-ethnic and inter-disciplinary communication. As part of his half-time assignment with the Ignatian Center, Fr. Calero has become involved in a number of new ventures. This year he became a member of the Jus-tice Steering Committee of AJCU (Association of Jesuit Colleges and Univer-sities), and the local liaison for the Ignatian Colleagues Program. This program aims at preparing non-Jesuit administrators for positions of leadership in institutions of higher learning run by the Society of Jesus. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) works internationally on issues of global hunger, natural resources management, global refugees and internally-displaced persons. On June 24-25, Fr. Calero represented Santa Clara University at a CRS meet-ing at Seattle University to strengthen its collaboration with U.S. Catholic universities. As part of a 12-member dele-gation, Fr. Calero traveled to El

Salvador at the end of August to learn about the country’s slow path to economic and social stability and to meet with rep-resentatives of Central American Univer-sity (UCA). One of the highlights of this visit was to spend time with Casa de Soli-daridad students who are studying abroad during the semester. In the Spring, Fr. Calero added Anth 150 “Religion in Culture and Society” to his teaching menu. This class enhances cultural anthropology course offerings in the Department; it also provides students with the opportunity to interact with reli-gious leaders who come from multiple religious traditions. Beginning in the fall 2012, Fr. Calero will start a research project entitled “Disrupted Lives: Ethnographies of U.S. Deportees in Latin America.” Forced to return to their homelands, these deportees find themselves in a difficult process of cultural and social adjustment in societies typically with high unemployment rates and few opportunities to advance. Ms. Chiaramonte spent the summer with family and friends, busy visiting museums in California. She had a wonderful and enlighten-ing visit to the Getty Villa Museum in Malibu. It is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of an-cient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. Dr. Gregory Gullette spent approxi-mately half of the year in Thailand col-lecting ethnographic data on issues related to urban environmentalism, development, and migration strategies in Southeast Asia. Aside from continuing data collec-tion started in 2009 on rural-urban migra-tion, his new ethnographic project com-paratively considers how environmental-ism, justice, and inclusion are integrated into state-planned urban expansion in peri-urban Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima (located in Thailand’s Isaan region).

Faculty & Staff Notes

Due to the extensive flooding in north-ern, northeast-ern, and central Thailand, the ethnographic data collected last year largely focused on the changes within agricultural labor organiza-tion within the urbanizing spaces of the Sung Noen district in Nakhon Ratchasima. Gregory also obtained a Visiting Research Fellow-ship at Chulalongkorn University’s Social Research Institute. Gregory continues his work on devel-opment in Mexico. Over the past year he worked with researchers in Mexico on data collection and qualitative analysis and they recently submitted a grant through Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología to sup-port further research on seven of Mexico’s Integrally Planned Tourism Resorts. Last-ly, Gregory most recently submitted a man-uscript on sustainable development and community in Oaxaca, Mexico to the Jour-nal of Sustainable Tourism. He is currently preparing three other manuscripts on Thai-land that examine various aspects of migra-tion, urbanization, and the reorganization of labor. Dr. Mary Hegland was able to attend the conference of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnographic Sci-ences in Antalya, Turkey Oct. 3-6 to chair a panel and present a paper, "Moharram Practices in Aliabad, Iran, 1978, 1979 to 2006: Challenging Hierarchies," as well as see the beautiful old harbor city and some Greek and Roman sites. In April 2011, two important events for Dr. Hegland took place: on April 4, an unleashed pit bull accidentally ran into her, dislocating and shattering her shoulder which has required two surgeries. Watch out for unleashed dogs! Also, in April, Dr. Hegland was pro-moted to full professor. Since April, Dr. Hegland has spent her time in painful phys-ical therapy and a great deal of home exer-cising and stretching. When she finds any time and energy, she works on her manu-script, "Recruitment to Revolution: Secular Politics in an Iranian Village," to be pub-lished by Stanford University Press. (continued on next page)

THE ANTHROPOLOGIST PAGE 7

(continued: Dr. Hegland)

Between surgeries, Hegland was able to attend the 7th European Conference of Iranian Studies at Jagiellonian University in Crakow, Poland, Sept. 7-10 where she presented a paper, "Aliabad of Shiraz and Modernity: From Village to Suburban Town."

During 2010-2011, Hegland was able to make several trips to northern VA, to see her daughter Karima and family, including partner Gene, two granddaughters, Nakeysa and Kaliah, three step-grandchildren, Brittany, Jasmin and Eugene, one step-great grand-son, Jalen, and mother-in-law, Veta.

Dr. Lisa Kealhofer had fun teaching with Michelle Bezanson the Cultures and Ideas course, Measuring Humanity in Fall and Winter quarters. As Chair during the academic year much of her focus was on hiring a new historical archaeologist. As Acting Campus Archaeologist, she devel-oped a volunteer coordinator position and began implementing a variety of proce-dures related to managing the archaeologi-cal and other collections in the Ricard Memorial Observatory. After traveling to Turkey and Greece during her Spring Quarter leave, she spent most of the ‘summer’ close to her home in New South Wales, Australia, working in the garden and hiking. Her research time was devoted to working on a variety of papers related to trade and exchange in Iron Age Turkey.

Dr. George Westermark complet-ed his penultimate year of teaching at San-ta Clara. He offered the second edition of his new freshman course on “Peace and Violence” and gave one of his other fa-vorite courses on “Law and Society.” Away from campus, he enjoyed a Christ-mas trip to Austria with his wife Kimber-ly. They visited with their son, Kai, who was doing graduate studies in architecture

in Vienna. In his off-quarters (Winter and Spring), he relished life in Oregon with much reading, hiking and fishing. He now looks forward to the coming years of retire-ment, though Santa Clara, the place and the people, will always have a special spot in his heart.
