PAT RICE
grew up in Rochester, New York. Her broad education began with a degree in international studies at Ohio State University. Her interests later turned to anthropology. In graduate school at OSU, she continued her generalist focus by training in cultural and biological anthropology. She later studied archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, now part of University College London. Her primary research area is in European prehistoric art: Venus statuettes, bone art, and cave art. She has led a number of Smithsonian trips to Spain and France with a focus on cave art. More recently, she has turned to writing and editing about teaching anthropology. She co-edited The Teaching of Anthropology: Problems, Issues, and Decisions (1997: Mayfield) with Conrad Kottak, Richard Furlow, and Jane White, co-edits with David McCurdy the biannual Strategies in Teaching Anthropology (Prentice-Hall: 2000, 2002, 2004), and recently co-edited with Philip Salzman and co-authored four articles in Thinking Anthropologically: A Practical Guide for Students (Prentice-Hall 2004). In 1991, she and David McCurdy inaugurated the journal General Anthropology, sponsored by the General Anthropology Division (GAD) of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). She writes a semi-annual column titled "Paleoanthropology" that provides synopses of the major fossil and artifact finds during the previous six months. Pat is the immediate past president of the General Anthropology Division of AAA. In 1999, she won the American Anthropological Association's Outstanding Teacher Award. She has taught at Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, and West Virginia University, where she currently is an Eberly teaching professor.
NORAH MOLONEY originally trained in England as a school teacher but developed an interest in archaeology during extended trips throughout the world. She undertook undergraduate work at Harvard University, Boston, and continued her graduate studies at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, where she has taught since 1994. She also currently lectures in archaeology at Birkbeck College, University of London, and has taught other archaeology courses at London Metropolitan University, Oxford Brookes University, and at school venues for the nonspecialist public. Norah greatly enjoys working with students and the general public, whose participation and enthusiasm, she firmly believes, reinforce and stimulate her own understanding and knowledge of archaeology. Norah's research interests are directed primarily toward stone tool analysis, with a particular-although not exclusive-emphasis on the Paleolithic. She has participated in archaeological fieldwork projects in France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Jordan, Kazakstan, and Armenia. Her publications include papers and edited books. The most recent, with co-editor Michael J. Shott, is Lithics at the Millennium (Institute of Archaeology, University College London, 2003).
