Dr. Adrienne Lo and Dr. Rachel ten Bruggencate congratulated our newest alumni in the SLC at yesterday's Convocation. These are some of the photos that were taken.

On Thursday, October 9, 2014, Dr. Robert Park delivered an exciting public lecture in the ML Theatre of the Arts entitled, "Finding Franklin's Ships and other remnants of the 1845 Northwest Passage Expedition."

This lecture was video recorded and can now be seen on YouTube below.

Four graduate students and five undergraduate students, along with Prof. Liston, attended the Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology Association (BARFAA) meetings in Michigan, October 17-18.  

The Department of Anthropology's very own Dr. Robert Park and Dr. Douglas Stenton played a pivotal role in the recent historical discovery of the HMS Erebus.
