317.16961 A Thief of Time
Although Tony Hillerman?s A Thief of Time is a work of fiction, it could serve just as well as a primer on anthropology because in the course of the action of the novel the characters address all four of the subfields of anthropology, including linguistics (which is the study both of language development and of the ways in which language and culture interact with each other); physical anthropology (which is the study of human and our close primate relatives and how we have developed over time ? via evolutionary pressures ? into the species that we are today); archaeology (which is the practice of searching for the material remains of the past through excavation and related techniques) and cultural anthropology (which covers the core concepts of the discipline, looking at how all humans belong to certain groups within which individuals share habits, beliefs, customs, language and material culture).
This paper examines two different anthropological works - The Artisand and Entrepreneurs of Dongyang County" by Eugene Cooper and The Silk Weavers of Kyoto, by Tamara Hareven, and asks the questions - can these be considered good examples of anthropological studies, should the authors be considered anthropologists and what motivations can be gleaned from these works.

321.20206 Caligula
The nefarious Roman Emperor known as Caligula, whose actual name was Caius Julius Caesar Germaniucs, was born in Antium in 12 AD, a city along the German frontier in the northern Roman Empire. Perhaps as an affectation, Caius wore miniaturized versions of the military sandals of the soldiers they lived near. The name of these sandals, caligae, was modified by those soldiers to ?Caligula? (little sandal). This nickname became his for the rest of his life (Barrett, 4). Caius? father, Germanicus, held positions of power within the military and the political structures in the region and was seen as a potential candidate for the throne at some later time. While a teenager, his mother and several brothers were arrested and executed by prefect Sejanus because their family was seen as a potential threat to his authority in the region. Later that year, Caligula became a priest and lived for several years on the island of Capri where he attended to the spiritual needs of Emperor Tiberius (Reed, 120).

322.20521 Justinian and the Second Council of Constantinople / Romans, Greeks, Barbarians and a Linguistic Assimilation
This is two short papers in one. The first two page paper involves a major contribution of Justinian to the Eastern Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Specifically, the paper discusses Justinian and the Second Council of Constantinople and how his actions there changed the relationship between the church and the empire and altered the future of Catholicism. The second short paper suggests that differences in notions of civilization and barbarity and the perception of religious experience are based largely on linguistic differences.
