The Class of 1960 Multimedia Authoring Center for Teaching in Anthropology (MACTiA) was founded in 1998 by Professors Ruth Tringham and Meg Conkey with start-up funding provided by the UCB Class of 1960 endowment. Since 1999, Michael Ashley has led the development of the MACTiA as its manager and currently executive director. The MACTiA program was awarded an Educational Initiatives Award in April 2001. In 2006/7 we embark on an exciting phase of intensified fundraising and broadened research and teaching activities that focus on cultural heritage in a digital age.
The MACTiA is an intimate, non-threatening friendly place where students and researchers of all generations work together on projects that make a difference to the world’s cultural heritage through the medium of small and large courses, collaborative research projects, and interest groups. The MACTiA welcomes students and collaborators from across the campus and beyond. Feel free to contact us.

Hey Michael, I was a student in ‘00-01 and recently saw something in some magazine that the Catalhoyuk prtoject is now a “real” place in secondlife. very cool. Hope you’re doing well. Let me know if ever there is anything you might need an extra pir of hands for; though, fair warning, i’ve been out of the tech loop for a number of years and just heading back in. long story.
