UNE STudents STUDY BONES

1/11/2017

1 Comment

 
In a first for the Paphos Theatre project, a team of students from the University of New England (UNE), led by Dr. Melanie Fillios, joined the project to study the animal bones recovered from the site.

Eight students
 examined the bone recovered from trenches situated at the top of the theatre seating, with a view toward contributing information regarding the function of the structure from which they were recovered.It was a steep learning curve for the Advanced Zooarchaeology students, but an unparalleled opportunity for all involved to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom to the field. We all had a wonderful time, taking advantage of the unique opportunity afforded by  being on a working archaeological site. We look forward to many more of these seasons, and want to extend our sincere thanks to the project for extending this opportunity to us.

All these students from University of New England (UNE were very brave to say yes for this project! I couldn't imagine myself examining bones and fossils of people who lived many decades ago for some reason. That's why I commend these students because they know the path they entered to and they are utmost willing to embrace every challenge that lies ahead! Being at the working archaeological site is a creepy thing already, what more if you will make several tests there!

    Each season our team including the directors, students, architects, volunteers, ceramicists and other finds specialists will blog about the day to day sweat and adventures that come with life on an archaeological dig.

    Each post will be signed off by the team member and together these posts will represent the variety of expertise and experiences that happen when working overseas on a dig. 

    ​Please join in and ask any questions about the archaeological excavations, research, field methods, the island of Cyprus, food on a dig, or anything else you’re interested to know in our comments section.
