Courses
Anthropology Mini Lectures: A collective resource for online teaching in the time of COVID19 by various (CC BY-NC-SA).
A platform for anthropologists (and those anthropology adjacent) to create and share 10-30 minute videos and accompanying texts and pedagogical resources (slides, film clips, lesson plans/assignments suitable for online submission) as a way to supplement, enliven, and collectivize the work we are all already doing to take our courses online.
Macroevolution by Dr. Dean Adams, Dr. Tracey Heath and Josh Justison (CC BY).
Evolutionary thinking provides the underpinnings of modern biology. In recent decades, the field of macroevolution (evolution above the species level) has matured into a rich discipline with a well-developed mathematical theory for testing hypotheses of species diversification, for understanding trait evolution, and evaluating patterns of covariation across the tree of life. This course will provide a synthetic view of biology and how life on earth has changed over time.

Student Anthropologist by various (CC BY-NC-ND).
This is the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the National Association of Student Anthropologists. The journal publishes peer-reviewed, original ethnographic or theoretical student research as well as book reviews of relevant texts in anthropology and related fields.
Monographs
The Ancient Past of Keatley Creek: Volume I: Taphonomy by Brian Hayden, Andrew Henry; Rolf W. Mathewes; Marlow G. Pellatt; Pierre Friele; Dale Donovan; Paul Goldberg; Dana Lepofsky; et al. (CC BY-NC-ND).
Keatley Creek is a world heritage quality site with unusually large housepits, good preservation, clear architectural features and evidence for complex socioeconomic organization. Work done here has been at the centre of theoretical and methodological advances in archaeological studies of complex hunter/gatherers. Volume I: Taphonomy includes thorough documentation of dating, climate, soils, and site formation processes. Botanical, faunal and lithic remains are examined to see what they reveal about the formation of different types of strata (floors, roofs, middens). Stone
