Last Friday was the last Afternoon Anthropology lecture of the year with Dr. Olivia Jones! Thanks to everyone who came out to attend, and a special thanks to Dr. Jones for the fantastic talk and the Afternoon Anthropology coordinators who put everything together!

One of our wonderful Anthro majors, Karter Wilbert, applied for and received a Conservation Internship for Broadening Access (CIBA) with the National Musuem of the American Indian at the Smithsonian this summer! Congrats!!!

So happy to announce that one of our wonderful grad students, Gabe Griffin, successfully defended his thesis today! He did an amazing job and we are all proud of him!

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Concord Quarters in Natchez, MS where MississippiStateAnth is doing a field school. Some of the lovely finds from the project are bricks with fingerprints of the makers, an intact sponge ware cup, and a silver hair locket. 1/2

2/2. More importantly, their research is shedding light on the properties checkered past and bringing it to the forefront. They are having #PublicArchaeology day tomorrow and next Thursday. So if you are in the area stop by and say hi!!
