Six Hamilton students presented posters at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 27-28. The Society for American Archaeology is the primary organization for archaeologists who work in the Americas. The annual meeting is attended by archaeologists from academia, government and private industry and provides venues for professionals and graduate students to present papers and/or posters on their research. Participation by undergraduates is rare, but this is the seventh year in which Hamilton students have offered results of their research.
Among the participants were four seniors and two juniors, who represent three concentrations: archaeology, geoarchaeology and geosciences. They include two archaeology seniors, Caryn Mickle and Sarah Schmidt; two geoarchaeology seniors, Lisa Schaaf and Mary Ann Vicari; and two juniors Mary Beth Day, a geoarchaeology major and Will Hoffman, a geoscience major. All six presented research related to archaeological projects directed by Jones, Beck and Bailey in eastern Nevada. The posters are as follows:
Of the four seniors, three are going to graduate school next year:
Caryn Mickle: George Washington University in museum studies
Lisa Schaaf: Northern Arizona University in geoarchaeology
Mary Ann Vicari: Washington University in geoarchaeology
Sarah Schmidt, who is a double major in achaeology and classics, will take a year off and then go on to graduate school as well.
