Student Research

Through independent projects, the Senior Program, and summer internships with faculty members, Hamilton provides an increasing number of opportunities for students to engage in significant — often publishable — research at the undergraduate level.

Sophia Coren '21, Lana Dorr '21, and Jada Langston '20 are working with Assistant Professor of Anthropology Colin Quinn in Romania on a collaborative archaeology project titled MARBAL (Mortuary Archaeology of the Râmet Bronze Age Landscape).
