Overall Research Project Description:
I am seeking a hard-working student who is interested in archaeological data collection. This undergraduate project is part of a larger dissertation project which aims to contextualize stone tools from a prehistoric Greek site on the Cycladic island of Kea. Participating students will get first-hand experience looking through excavation notebooks from the 1960s to 1980s in which they will be searching for stone tools and other objets that were collected by the original excavators. The student will, therefore, learn more about earlier excavation practices and how they have evolved over the last 50 years. The student will leave this project with an better understanding of how to handle legacy data which will be invaluable for those specifically interested in working with archaeological materials in the future, but also those broadly interested in data collection and legacy data. In addition, the student will work on a research project about stone tools and the types of questions we can answer by studying these tools. 

Research Tasks:
Data collection
Literature Review of legacy data and stone tools


Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Required:
Excel
Can read cursive handwriting



Mentoring Philosophy:
I hope that every student with whom I work has a positive learning experience where they not only learn something knew, but their professor is open to learning from them as well. Younger student bring new ideas, and it is the professor's responsibility to help them harness and express their ideas in a way that will best serve them. I have had several outstanding mentors throughout my academic career who not only opened new doors for me, but propelled me through them. I ultimately want to mentor my students in the same way.
