LAB WORK: ROMAN POTTERY & ZOOARCHAEOLOGY 2009.
Each year, our research team excavates the Roman City of Sanisera from May until the October. They dedicate four hours a day to field work following the Harris Matrix. In addition to the daily excavation, they also dedicate two hours per day to cleaning, labeling and inventorying the archaeological material found during the dig.
This course is designed to focus in detail on the laboratory work with the roman pottery and fauna remains from the site of Sanisera. With the roman pottery finds, participants will learn to classify, label, draw using Adobe Illustrator, inventory and catalog pieces. With fauna, participants will learn to classify by bones by species and by skeletal location. They will also learn pathology and how the markings on the bones inform us about their preparation and consumption by humans. Once studied, fauna remains will be cataloged and entered into a database. More information can be found in LAB WORK: ROMAN POTTERY & ZOOARCHAEOLOGY 2009[+]
