It has been brought to my attention that some of you may be unaware that a specific Archaeology thesis template was created for Archaeology graduate students. It can be found on this page by scrolling down to department customized templates.Please use this template, and be consistent to avoid revisions later on. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (mfarmer@sfu.ca), or the thesis assistant Joanie at (thesis_assistant@sfu.ca).

SFU Student Learning Commons offers a free thesis read ahead service
Thanks Heather for pointing this out....
The Student Learning Commons offers a free thesis read ahead service. I'm using this right now, and I meet with an editor once a week to discuss one chapter of my thesis. I have found it to be incredibly helpful. Here is the link:

Khan Academy Statistics
I've been chatting with graduate students about lack of background in statistics, and some of you apparently have been using the "Khan Academy" to do tutorials on the basics of statistics. I had never heard of this guy in his closet in the Silicon Valley, but I am now amazed and totally hooked on the concept.
In any case, if you are in need of a statistics "course" to do at your own speed, to give yourself the basics of statistics, for free, then his tutorials are here (just scroll down to the statistics section). It is very basic, but appears to be inspirationally well-taught.
If you are interested in the whole concept and life story of this guy (which is quite fascinating) watch his video lecture here.

Transatlantic History student online journal
UT Arlington Transatlantic History Student Association invites students to submit manuscripts for the first edition of our new online journal Traversea.
Traversea is an online journal dedicated to the publication of research in transatlantic history. Transatlantic history pertains to the interconnectedness of human experience and cross-cultural encounters of Europe, Africa, and the Americas (North and South) from 1500 to the present. Transatlantic history is inherently interdisciplinary, transnational, and comparative in approach and moves beyond the boundaries imposed by the
concept of the nation state.
The editors invite submissions that are historical, geographical, anthropological, literary, sociological, and cartographic in nature. Traversea is operated by doctoral students as a joint project between the Transatlantic History Student Organization and the doctoral program in transatlantic history at the University of Texas at Arlington.
The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2011. The publication of the first issue is planned for Fall 2011.
