ABSTRACT

Honors senior Natalie Moss is one of two Marshall Scholars this year, setting a record for the University of Georgia. The scholarship funds graduate study in the United Kingdom at any institution and in any field of study. Moss plans to pursue a master's degree in human osteology and funerary archaeology at the University of Sheffield, and a master's degree in biological anthropological science at the University of Cambridge.

The newly released book: "Obsidian Across the Americas: Compositional Studies Conducted in the Elemental Analysis Facility at the Field Museum of Natural History," edited by Dr. Danielle Riebe and her colleague, draws attention to recent obsidian studies in the Americas and acts as a reference for archaeologists and scholars interested in material culture and exchange. Learn more about the new volume here.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor, Dr. Attila Gyucha on the publication of his new book, First Kings of Europe: From Farmers to Rulers in Prehistoric Southeast Europe. This book, co-edited by Dr. William A. Parkinson (Field Museum of Natural History), contains 11 papers on the evolution of social hierarchy in the Balkans from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, and is the first volume accompanying a unique exhibition co-curated by Drs. Gyucha and Parkinson.

The Department of Anthropology at the University of Georgia recently celebrated its 75th anniversary since its official founding on October 15th, 1947. The faculty and students gathered to celebrate and view a gallery of historical photos through the decades.
