Graduate Students Present Invited Lectures at the University of Costa Rica

During a recent visit to Costa Rica together with Professor Sally Horn, graduate students Erik Johanson and Matthew Kerr presented invited lectures in the School of Anthropology at the University of Costa Rica. 

Erik Johanson shared results from his MS thesis research with Dr. David Anderson in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Tennessee in a lecture entitled, "The Use of GIS to Predict the Location of Archaeological Sites in the Southeastern U.S."

Matthew Kerr gave a lecture on "Application of Pottery Residue Analysis for Reconstructing Diet and Trade" that focused on his undergraduate research with Dr. Nora Reber at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. 

 

Both lectures were very well received, as was the Spanish translation and comic relief provided by Sally Horn.   Follow the link below to a video clip from Matthew Kerr's presentation.
