neW in 2010 global archaeology Field schools Global Archaeology Field schools is a summer field research opportunity in which students will learn modern archaeological methods and theory through extensive hands-on field experience. students will participate in archaeological survey and mapping, excavations, artifact processing and analysis, and architectural documentation. Through on-site lectures and excursions, students have the opportunity to learn about the cultural heritage of archaeological sites and their surrounding communities. Greece ANTH 250 950 June 15–August 3, 2010 Within the ancient Greek region of Arcadia in the southern Peloponnesos, the sanctuary of Zeus on Mt. Lykaion stands out for its great fame, mysterious rituals and wide-ranging significance. This site, located on the modern-day mountain of Agios Elias, held fascination for the ancient Greeks and has continued to be important for modern-day scholars of archaeology, classics, and Greek religion. The summer research program, co-sponsored by the Greek Archaeological Service under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, seeks to answer questions about the origins of Greek cult of Zeus and the origins of Greek athletics. The summer 2010 field season at the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mt. Lykaion will introduce students to archaeological excavation techniques, architectural documentation and topographical survey. Students will also assist with ongoing geological, geophysical and historical surveys. The summer research program is co-directed by Dr. David Gilman Romano (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Mary Voyatzis (University of Arizona). PrograM Fee: $2,500 Program Fee covers international airfare (based on reasonable coach class fare for period of project), local room and board, local transportation, and local excursions during project. Program Fee does NOT cover costs for student’s passport or visa (may be required for non-U.S. students), medical insurance, or incidental expenses. Some fellowships are available; inquiries should be sent to Instructor. inSTrUCTor David Romano’s scholarly interests are divided between ancient city and landscape planning, computerized applications in archaeology, and ancient athletics. He is an Adjunct Professor of Classical Studies at Penn and the co-director of the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project, which began in 2004 and explores the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mt. Lykaion, Arcadia, Greece. Dr. Romano is also director of the Corinth Computer Project, a computerized study of the city and landscape of Roman Corinth, and director of the Digital Augustan Rome Project, which is a living, virtual resource for the study of Augustan Rome. 10 CoLLeGe oF LiberAL & ProFessioNAL sTudies Course Guide suMMer 2010 aPPliCaTion ProCeSS The field school programs have no pre-requisites and are open to all Penn undergraduate and graduate students, as well as visiting students.

The monastery San Pietro d’Asso was founded by King Aripert I around AD 643 and is situated just west of the Via Cassia, a key pilgrimage route from France to Rome. The present hilltop site includes stone architecture and is covered with abundant 10th century artifacts, while below the hill, close to the Asso River, lie the remains of a Roman settlement. This field course will introduce students to Roman and Medieval Tuscany with guided visits to regional sites. Students will learn modern archaeological field methods through hands-on work at two locations: the bishop’s complex at Pava in San Giovanni d’Asso and the hilltop site of San Pietro d’Asso. The summer research program is a collaboration of Dr. Richard Hodges (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Michelle Hobart (Cooper Union, New York) with Dr. Stefano Campana (University of Siena). PrograM Fee : $2,650 Program Fee covers local room and board, local transportation, and local excursions during field project. Program Fee does NOT cover costs for student’s airfare, passport or visa (if required), medical insurance, or incidental expenses. Some fellowships are available; inquiries should be sent to Instructor. inSTrUCTor Richard Hodges is the Williams Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. A distinguished Classical and early Medieval archaeologist, specializing in Western Europe, Hodges has written extensively on such subjects as archaeology and the beginnings of English society, primitive and peasant markets, and towns and trade in the age of Charlemagne. Before coming to Penn, he served as the Director of the Institute of World Archaeology at the University of East Anglia and is a former Director of the British School in Rome. Hodges has published numerous books, essays and pamphlets on archaeology in Italy, Albania, and early northwest Europe.

The course will begin with a review of the basic anatomy and physiology of the ANS including the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric divisions. The mechanisms by which the ANS regulates peripheral tissues will be discussed, including reflex and regulatory functions, as will the effect of drugs which modulate ANS activity. The role of the ANS in regulating behavior will be addressed in the context of thirst, salt appetite and food intake. Finally, the course will cover the result of over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system as manifested in chronic stress. BIBB 475 900 T 5:30pm–8:40pm lexow Neurodegenerative Disease This course will familiarize students with advances in our understanding of the clinical features and pathogenesis of a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, prion diseases, Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonisms, neurodegenerative ataxias, motoneuron diseases, degenerative diseases with chorea, iron and copper disorders, and mitochondrial diseases. Students will analyze original research reports on a range of proposed pathological cellular processes that may represent steps in cell death pathways leading to neuron loss seen in these diseases. Significant emphasis will be placed on the fast-expanding field exploring genetic contributions to neurodegenerative disease, as identification of genetic mutations pathogenic for familial neurodegenerative diseases has been a major driving force in neurodegenerative research and pointed researchers towards essential molecular process that may underlie these disorders. Strategies for therapeutic intervention in the management, prevention, and cure of neurodegenerative disease will be addressed.
