Contact anthro@uga.edu Anthropology Day is a day for anthropologists to celebrate our discipline while sharing it with the world around us. Come celebrate World Anthropology Day and learn about the study of humanity! Exhibitions: Learn about all the projects taking place at the Laboratory of Archaeology and how to get involved! The Biological Anthropology Lab Complex will showcase how forensic anthropologists can use bones to build biological profiles! Join Student Association for Archaeological Sciences (SAAS) to connect with undergrads in anthropology and archaeology! The Center for Applied Isotope Studies (CAIS) will be there to show how our researchers are using isotope science to answer anthropological questions about the past. We'll also be debuting the latest issue of our Carbon comic series! Join the Geoarchaeology Lab to learn how to work an underwater Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV)! The Historic Preservation Program will be there to talk cultural resources and the ways preservationists and archaeologists work together. Come learn about the HP certificate, minor, and Double Dawg programs! Join the Tree-Ring and Archaeological Wood Analysis Lab at Georgia (TRAWG) to learn how dendrochronologists use tree-rings to tell us about past climate, natural disasters, environmental change, and date old buildings, paintings, and shipwrecks, and more! Come check out our lab's "talkative tree-rings" under the microscope and try using them to spot forged paintings for yourself! The University Archaeological Training - Sandy Creek (UAT Sandy Creek) will host a table that showcases their archaeological research on the ruins of a local 20th century brick factory. The Institutions and Governance Lab presents the work of Dr. Laura German and her students on land and environmental governance. The recent publications, posters, and flyers related to their work will also be exhibited there. HECLab will present anthropological research that addresses natural infrastructure issues, climate adaptation, disaster risk management and water policy and planning. Our lab fosters collaborative and art-based practices in research and so our table will have posters, photographs, and digital herbarium records that explain the intersection of Anthropology across several other disciplines like ethnobotany, theatre, ecology and forestry. The Quaternary Isotope Paleoecology Lab and Zooarchaeology will present skeletal collections and info on isotopic and protein analysis! Stay tuned for updates! AnthroDay 2023 photos:
