Halloween Party

We're bringing back the Halloween party Archaeology Wing tradition. Some of you may remember the legendary Halloween parties hosted by Stine Rossel, whose guests included Jackson Pollack, a mummy, Wonder Woman, and a Campbell's Soup can.


This year, Tina will be hosting a very spooky Halloween/birthday party at her house. She promises dangling spiders, cobwebbed corners, and cadaver cake. Please bring a poison to share. Costumes encouraged.

Date: Halloween, Friday, October 31
Time: 9pm
Place: 475 Huron Ave. #2, Cambridge

2008 Kickball Showdown

On October 4, 2008, Team Archaeology faced off against Apeshit for Kickball (Bioanthro) in a brutal Saturday afternoon game of kickball. Emerging victorious, Team Archaeology schooled the monkeys 15-9. The debate is now settled: anatomically modern humans took over the world because of their stone tool technology, complex society, and mad kickball skills.
