OVERVIEW
In the Department of Archaeology’s 2012–2013 annual report we offer a distillation of news of
developments in teaching and research, department-sponsored and collaborative activities, and
of faculty and student awards and publications in the preceding academic year.
Both our faculty and students have been productive and have made important contributions to
our understanding of the human past. Media coverage of research undertaken by our faculty
and PhD students has been featured online, in print, and on television and radio. We have been
able to maintain our commitment to the highest standards in fieldwork, archaeological science,
and scholarship. The year 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Department
of Archaeology, and, although we were all too busy to pause for celebration of this coming of
age, we remain aware of the special role we play in promoting and practicing the human science
of archaeology in a truly interdisciplinary and integrative fashion with contributions from the
natural and social sciences as well as from the humanities.
HIGHLIGHTS
This year we welcomed Prof. John (“Mac”) Marston as Assistant Professor of Archaeology and
Anthropology; he is an environmental archaeologist specializing in the long-term sustainability
of agriculture and land use, especially in the Mediterranean and western Asia. In 2012–13 he
taught AR307, Archaeological Science in both semesters, and AR/AN510, Proposal Writing for
Social Science Research in the spring. Creation of an environmental archaeology lab for Prof.
Marston turned out to be our major renovation project over the past year; the lab was
completed in April, 2013 and is now fully operational.
Over the winter intercession, Boston University audio-visual resource specialists installed in our
Gabel Museum of Archaeology an Echo360 lecture capture system. Funded by the College of
Arts and Sciences and Prof. Danti’s Mosul Archaeology Project’s (MAP) grant from the U.S.
Department of State, the system allows us to develop online and distance learning courses,
initially for MAP, but it will be available for many additional digital learning initiatives.
We also received funds from the CAS to refurbish our Teaching Fellow bullpen (STO350), a
project completed in early June, 2013. Summer 2013 marks the maiden voyage of our new
hexacopter, or UAV, acquired in January with funds from CAS; it is being used by Profs.

photography and mapping. Students enrolled in Prof. Roosevelt’s new fall 2013 class, Lay of
the Land: Surface and Subsurface Mapping in Archaeology, will receive instruction in its use
along with other techniques of archaeological mapping.
Summary of highlights:
•
Prof. John (“Mac”) Marston joined us as Assistant Professor of Archaeology and
Anthropology.
•
Our former darkroom and Visual Resources Library (STO348) has been converted and
now serves as Prof. Marston’s Environmental Archaeology Laboratory (p. 33).
•
We now have the capability to create online course content and podcasts through the
installation of an Echo 360 capture system in the Gabel Museum of Archaeology with
funding from the College of Arts & Sciences and from Prof. Danti’s US State Department
grant for the Mosul Archaeology Project (p. 4).
•
The large room that serves as our Teaching Fellow “bullpen” (STO350) has been
renovated to provide a well-lit and handsomely furnished workspace (p. 34).
•
Our field survey and mapping capabilities have been greatly enhanced by the College of
Arts & Sciences-funded purchase of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for use in aerial
photography and photogrammetry.

ARCHAEOLOGY'S GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
Our department has always emphasized archaeology as a global, comparative study of both the
distant and recent past. Our faculty and students work both in places like Greece and Egypt that
immediately come to mind when people think about archaeology, but they also work in Turkey,
Spain, Israel, Iraq, South Africa, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Peru, Italy, Ethiopia, Mali, Syria, Pakistan,
Montserrat and Guadeloupe (West Indies), France, Italy, the United States, Bermuda, Guatemala,
Mexico, Jordan, Taiwan, China, Japan, Indonesia, Panama, and Ireland.
Through Boston
University’s Study Abroad, we offer archaeological field schools in Spain and Guatemala, and
our students also receive training through participation in ongoing faculty research projects
around the globe.
FIELD SCHOOL AT TORRE D'EN GALMÉS, MENORCA
The Department of Archaeology held a field school at the site of Torre d’en Galmés in Menorca
from June 6 to July 18, 2012. Torre d’en Galmés is an Iron Age site that was continuously
occupied until the 14th century. The field school was led by Professors Ricardo Elia, Amalia
Pérez-Juez, and Paul Goldberg, along with graduate student teaching assistants Marta Ostovich
and Allison Cuneo. Twelve undergraduate students participated in the project.

The team sought to understand how different groups and cultures used the site over the course
of those 2000 years. There are three main time periods represented at Torre d’en Galmés: Iron
Age, when the site was built under strong Carthaginian commercial and cultural influence; the
Roman period, especially the republican era; and the Muslim medieval reoccupation of the site
between the 10th and the 13th centuries.
MOSUL UNIVERSITY ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROGRAM
A team of archaeologists under the direction of Prof. Michael Danti will partner with educators
at Mosul university on an innovative program to revive higher education and cultural heritage
management in Iraq. Centered on the study of Iraqi archaeology and culture, the new Mosul
University Archaeological Program (MAP) will focus on curriculum development, design and
implementation of online courses and real-time video conferences, and cultural study programs
in the U.S. and Iraq. The program is funded by a grant from the U.S. State Department through
its embassy in Iraq.

ICEAACH MONGOLIAN HERITAGE DELEGATION ROUNDTABLE
On May 10, 2013, the International Center for East Asian Archaeology and Cultural History was
delighted to host a visiting delegation of seven Mongolian archaeologists and cultural heritage
specialists. The group included faculty members from the Department of History at Chinggis
Khaan University, as well as the Director of the Department of Cultural Preservation (Ministry of
Culture, Sports, and Tourism), and the Director of the Department of Culture in Ulaanbaatar.
Their visit to Boston University, with a focus on “Preservation of Cultural Heritage &
Artifacts” was arranged under the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership
4|Page
Program (IVLP). Over the course of two hours, their lively discussion with BU faculty, graduate
and undergraduate students, and members of the Archaeological Institute of America covered a
range of topics, including government policies to support the promotion of cultural
heritage, methods of preservation and restoration of cultural and historical artifacts, and best
practices at leading archeological institutions and relevant government agencies. Participants
exchanged ideas about possible future student and faculty exchanges, mutual development of
library resources, and other potential collaborations. The discussion was followed by a
traditional American BBQ dinner at a local Allston restaurant, which the Mongolian delegation
obviously enjoyed very much, given the enthusiasm of their bear hugs upon departure.
Below: Roundtable participants discussing archaeology and heritage issues.
PROF. BEAUDRY DELIVERS 24TH MCDONALD LECTURE
On November 21, 2012, Prof. Mary Beaudry delivered the prestigious 24th annual McDonald
Lecture at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University.
Her
lecture, titled "Gastronomical Archaeology: Food, Materiality, and the Aesthetics of Dining"
combined her interests in food, material culture, and theories of practice, identity, and gender
in bringing together multiple lines of evidence—archaeological, documentary, visual arts—to
interpret the practices, experiences, and aesthetics of cookery and dining in the early modern
world.

VISITING SCHOLARS
The department and ICEAACH hosted a number of outside-funded scholars who have spent
varying lengths of time at BU studying and making use of BU’s academic resources, presenting
their own research, and interacting with students and faculty at BU and in the greater Boston
area. Visiting Researchers have included scholars from the US, United Kingdom, Italy, Korea,
Vietnam, China, and Japan.
Tânia Casimiro joined the department in fall, 2012 as a Visiting Researcher after receiving a
postdoctoral grant from Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCET) in Portugal.
Tânia is
using Boston University as a base of operations for her research into collections of Portuguese
faiança from colonial sites in the Boston area and throughout North America. Her research will
add to our knowledge of the distribution of Portuguese ceramics in the early modern Atlantic
world and will give insight into the composition of assemblages at American sites and what
trade with Portugal meant to the emergence and growth of Europe's colonies in the Americas.
Jody Michael Gordon became a Visiting Research with us in 2011–12, during which time he
completed and successfully defended his dissertation on Cyprus under Hellensitc and Roman
rule at the University of Cincinnati. In 2012–13 he continued his association with us while
producing a series of articles based on his dissertation, organizing and chairing a session at the
annual meetings of the American Schools of Oriental Research held in Chicago in November,
2012, delivering a paper at the Archaeological Institute of America’s annual meeting in January,
2013, and lecturing at three local colleges. On March 28, 2013, Gordon gave a fascinating talk
in the Archaeology department’s lecture series on “Why Empires Matter: A Postcolonial
Archaeology of Cultural Identity in Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus.” Beginning in fall, 2013, he
will take up a full-time position as Assistant Professor in the Humanities and Social Sciences at
the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.
Francesco Berna, postdoctoral researcher, lecturer, and research professor since 2006 in Prof
Paul Goldberg's Microstratigraphy Lab, accepted a position as Research Assistant Professor in
the Department of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. Berna continues
his association with Boston University as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Archaeology. See him
participate in a panel discussion on his research on the early use of fire at Wonderwerk Cave in
South Africa and at Koobi Fora in Kenya at the public roundtable discussion “Prometheus and
Prehistory: Fire and Human Origins” held by the Department of Anthropology on April 18, 2013

BU ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN THE NEWS
Throughout the year, faculty and students from the Archaeology Department have made news
for their research and discoveries. Here are just a few examples; the major research projects
discussed in Research Highlights also received a tremendous amount of press coverage.
PROFESSOR BARD ON ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SHIP-BUILDING
Prof. Kathryn Bard contributed to a VoiceAmerica radio program titled "Indiana Jones: Myth,
Reality, and 21st-Century Archaeology." As part of a segment called "They Also Made Boats...:
Maritime Archaeology in Pharaonic Egypt,." Prof. Bard spoke with Dr. Joseph Schuldenrein about
her discoveries at the site of Mersa/Wadi Gawasis and what they can tell us about seafaring in
Ancient Egypt. The program can be heard here.
FLIGHT OF THE HEXACOPTER
Prof. Chris Roosevelt tested his latest research tool: a remote-controlled hexacopter. The small
six-rotor flying tool, equipped with a camera, will be used in Turkey by the Central Lydia
Archaeology Survey, a Boston University archaeological project under the co-direction of Chris
Roosevelt and Christina Luke. Read more about the hexacopter, and watch a video of a test
flight, here.

CLAY BALLS AND MAYA CUISINE
Graduate student Stephanie Simms has made news for her
work on the role of clay balls in Maya foodways. An article
detailing
her
research
was
published
in
Archaeology
magazine (read it here) and the results of scientific analysis
conducted by Stephanie and Prof. Francesco Berna were
presented in a Discovery News article (read it here).
THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA'S CULTURAL HERITAGE
Amid the on-going strife in Syria, scholars have grown increasingly concerned over the
destruction of the country's cultural heritage. Prof. Michael Danti was interviewed as part of a
Public Radio International’s The World coverage of damage to the ancient souk at Aleppo.
Listen to the interview or read a transcript here.
CULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN MAYA MURALS
The BU Arts & Sciences magazine documented Prof. William
Saturno's work on rare murals discovered at the Maya site of
Xultún, Guatemala. In the article, Prof. Saturno describes the
relationship between the murals at Xultún, Maya culture, and
the global interest in the myth of a 2012 apocalypse.

HERITAGE DISASTER AT NOHMUL, BELIZE
Controversy has arisen in Belize, where contractors recently bulldozed a 2,300-year-old Maya
site to plunder its limestone and gravel for a new construction project. This destruction has
caused some to call for a reexamination of heritage policies in some Central and South
American countries. Prof. Emeritus Norman Hammond was quoted in a Huffington Post article
in which he pointed out the ubiquity of destructive practices in Belize (read the article here) and
Research Assistant Prof. Francesco Estrada-Belli offered his perspective on the damage in The
Guardian (read the article here).
COLONIAL STORIES IN WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA
Graduate student Hank Lutton's research in Colonial
Williamsburg has received recent attention.
Hank has
been working on behalf of the Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation at the Rabon-Saunders House, an 18thcentury brick home on Williamsburg's Ireland Street.
During their excavations, Hank and his team located
evidence of several 18th- and 19th-century outbuildings
and landscape features.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
UPDATES TO EVIDENCE FOR ANCIENT SEAFARING FOUND ON CRETE
Over the course of the last year, Curtis
Runnels has made progress with his research
connected
with
the
question
of
ancient
seafaring. Early Palaeolithic artifacts from his
survey on the island of Crete (Greece) indicate
that early humans may have been traversing
the Mediterranean Sea as early as 800,000
years ago.

it was thought that humans were unable to
use boats or cross large bodies of water
before about 16,000 years ago.
Runnels’
continuing research on the dating and implications of these finds was presented at a
conference on early Mediterranean seafaring hosted by the Wenner-Gren Foundation in Reggio
di Calabria in Italy in October, 2012, and the paper from the conference was submitted in April
to the Journal of Eurasian Prehistory for publication. Runnels will continue his investigation of
the presence of early humans in the Greek islands while he is the Cotsen Fellow in Archaeology
at the School for Advanced Research on the Human Experience (SAR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico
this summer.
URBANISM IN THE TLAJINGA DISTRICT, TEOTIHUACAN, MEXICO
The archaeology of early urbanism provides deep historical context for an increasingly
urbanized world. Professor David M. Carballo and Dr. Kenneth G. Hirth will direct a collaborative
three-year project involving an international team of interdisciplinary researchers at the ancient
city of Teotihuacan, Mexico. During its height in the early first millennium AD Teotihuacan was
the largest city in the Americas and one of the largest in the world. Today, being a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and the most visited ruins in the Americas, Teotihuacan is of great interest
to a broad audience.
10 | P a g e
The project focuses on the Tlajinga district, a cluster of neighborhoods south of Teotihuacan
inhabited by lower socioeconomic stratum of the city’s populace, that was the locus of intensive

utilitarian craft production, and is bisected by the terminus of the city’s central artery—named
the Street of the Dead by the later Aztecs. The Tlajinga district provides an opportune setting
for examining issues of broad interest to social and behavioral sciences and represents a
minimally explored portion of the city whose archaeological record is threatened by
contemporary urbanization surrounding greater Mexico City. Professor Carballo, with funding
from the National Science Foundation, will work alongside BU graduate and undergraduate
students to study urbanism, household production, and population demographics at
Teotihuacan.
THE LEVANTINE CERAMICS PROJECT
Professor Andrea Berlin is continuing work on the collaborative Levantine Ceramics Project.
Aided by two grants from the Rafik B. Hariri Institute, the project involves building a tool
designed to readily accommodate new data and bring it into dialogue with older information, to
foster the sharing of data that are easy for scholars to access and use, to allow them to quickly
learn from each other and to refine and correct information. It is a public research website
focused on ceramics produced in and distributed throughout the Levant, from the Neolithic era
(c. 5500 BCE) through the Ottoman period (c. 1920 CE). It is an open, interactive, international
collaborative effort, part forum and part archive, designed for ongoing expansion. Since
launching in Spring 2011, the site has attracted a quickly growing, self-seeding international
11 | P a g e
research community: it has already received contributions from 100 researchers from 16
different countries, including almost 700 items, arranged in 185 different ware groups, and
currently spanning 5000 years of Levantine ceramic production.
Prof. Berlin launched a
revamped version of the website, Levantineceramics.org, incorporating all of the information
from the earlier version and invited colleagues old and new to contribute data. The response
was immediate and extraordinary.
In the past three months alone the new site has already
received almost 600 visitors and over 4000 page views. In the future, Prof. Berlin will continue
to reach out to colleagues for more information, while refining the website's functionality.
INTERACTIVE TEXT VISUALIZATION FOR THE HUMANITIES
On April 8, 2013, Prof. Berlin, with funding from the Boston University Center for the
Humanities and sponsorship by the Rafik b. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational
Science & Engineering, organized a workshop led by Milena Radzikowska and Stan Ruecker,
pioneers in the development of interactive digital systems. Interactive visualizations provide the
means by which users can explore, manipulate, and experiment with information, and so
develop their own ideas as well as share them with others. The workshop touched on the
theoretical background for interactive visualization tools and moved on to consider speculative
timelines, comparative search visualization, an enhanced reading environment, a theatre
simulation system, and a number of different rich-prospect browsers.
THE DAACS DIGITAL RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE (DRC)
In May, 2013, Prof. Beaudry participated in one of a planned series of workshops at Thomas
Jefferson’s Monticello for academic partners of the Digital Archaeological Archive of
Comparative Slavery (DAACS). With a $450,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,
the Department of Archaeology at Monticello is developing software that will allow partners in
the DRC to use ordinary web browsers to enter data from their excavations into the DAACS
database, to discover meaningful patterns and to compare patterns across geographically
scattered archaeological sites. The project offers instruction funding in the form of summer
stipends for historical archaeology graduate students from each of the DRC universities,
including the Department of Archaeology at Boston University.

COMMUNITY LIFE
Throughout the academic year, we host many lectures and brown-bag lunch talks that bring BU
faculty, students, and guests from elsewhere in Boston together.
Each year we co-sponsor
several lectures with the Boston chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America, and
ICEAACH through its East Asian Archaeology Forum, funded by the Boston University Center for
the Humanities, offers a series of lectures and informal talks given by visiting scholars working
in Asia. The EAAF lecture series, now completing its 13th year, enables ICEAACH to bring to
Boston University both young and established scholars of East and Southeast Asian archaeology
and related fields to present their current research in an informal public forum.
PROFESSOR CLEMENCY COGGINS RETIRES
Dr. Clemency Chase Coggins joined the Department of Archaeology as an Adjunct Associate
Professor in 1988, was promoted to Adjunct Professor in Archaeology and Art History in 1993
and to Professor of Archaeology and History of Art and Architecture in 1998. Before coming to
BU, she earned her PhD in Fine Art at Harvard University. She brought to BU her considerable
expertise in pre-Columbian art and urban planning and the illegal trade in pre-Columbian
antiquities, a topic on which she has published widely—she was a founding editor of the
International Journal of Cultural Property. She has regularly taught popular courses such as Art
& Architecture in Ancient America, Ancient Aztec & Inca Civilizations, Mesoamerican Art,
Museums & Objects, and Ancient American Writing Systems.
She has served on numerous
dissertation and thesis committees and has always insisted that students must research
carefully, think critically, and write clearly. She has been a most valued and caring colleague,
and we will miss her and the many contributions she made to both of her home departments.

UNDERGRADUATE HIGHLIGHTS
Professor David Carballo continued in his role as Director of Undergraduate Studies. Our
undergraduate program continues to be popular, with approximately 75 majors, 20 minors, and
over 1600 students taking classes in the department last year. Our undergraduates are very
active and participate in the life of the department in many ways, including undertaking
collaborative research with faculty and graduate students, curating artifact collections at the
Gabel Museum, speaking with prospective students at the Departmental Expos, and sharing
their knowledge during Archaeology Month events. Extra-curricular activities revolve around
the Archaeology Society (recently renamed from Archaeology Club). A number of collaborativelearning activities are planned for the 2013–14 academic year including a journal club and
archaeology writing program that will pair undergraduates with graduate students in
mentoring relationships. More relaxed and social activities of the Archaeology Society include
22 | P a g e
museum trips, movie nights, and a Knapping Club, in which students practice stone-tool
replication.
During Spring 2013 four of our graduating seniors presented the results of their independent
research at the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) annual meeting in Hawaii. Building
from her work on the Guatemala field school and in our Microstratigraphy Laboratory, Meg
Thibodeau presented the results of her honors thesis titled “Maya Pyrotechnology and Plaster:
Integrating Micromorphology and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) at San Bartolo
and Xultun, Guatemala.” Nicholas Gauthier, building from his field experience in Turkey,
presented the results of his honors thesis titled “Modeling Agropastoral Landscapes in the
Marmara Lake Basin, Western Anatolia.” Omar Alcover Firpi presented the results of his honors
thesis in a paper titled “Development of the 12H3 Pyramid in Xultun.” And Alex Kara presented
a poster entitled “Total Station Mapping of Xultun, Guatemala.” Congrats to Meg, Nick, Omar,
and Alex for presenting at this prestigious international conference!

GRADUATE HIGHLIGHTS
PhD student Sara Belkin continued in her role as President of the Archaeology Graduate Student
Association in 2012–2013. She initiated monthly meetings and allocated travel funds to
students for travel to conferences. She also attended departmental meetings, reported graduate
student concerns to faculty, and relayed the gist of our deliberations to her fellow graduate
students.
Graduate students host all departmental receptions following talks and play a large role on our
Lecture Committee; they have their own outreach program and provide lectures and
demonstrations for the public schools in the Greater Boston area. Our PhD students’ research
has been featured in several media outlets (see Archaeology in the News); many received
prestigious awards to support their research, and an impressive number published on their
23 | P a g e
work and gave papers at professional conferences. Our grad students, especially those who
have served as Teaching Fellows, under the mentorship of Professor Runnels, are co-authoring
an archaeology textbook for use in introductory archaeology courses. Four of our students
successfully defended their dissertations this past year and have embarked on the post-PhD
phase of their careers.
INVOLVEMENT IN THE BROADER ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMMUNITY
Our MA and PhD students were also very active in the archaeological community outside of
Boston University. Below are lists of student publications and papers presented at conferences.

OUTREACH
Our faculty and students' commitment to public outreach is demonstrated through the many
lectures they deliver to public schools.
Prof. Murowchick, for example, serves on the Asian
Studies Steering Committee for the Needham Public schools, and regularly lectures in schools in
Needham and elsewhere; ICEAACH has an outreach program to the K–12, museum, and media
communities. These programs promote awareness of serious problems facing our field today,
including the accelerating destruction of archaeological sites and other forms of cultural
heritage through poorly-planned construction projects, urban sprawl, and looting. Profs.
Roosevelt and Luke work extensively with regional museums and local communities in rural
Turkey, with the aims of increasing international understanding of local perspectives on
material culture heritage and archaeological landscapes, and to increase local understanding of
the value of preserving these.
They also work with local Chambers of Commerce and with
villagers and offer ecological and art workshops for children aged 10–15 to encourage local
community members to see, value, and preserve the landscapes in which they live for their
cultural and natural values.
Prof. Runnels and Research Fellow Priscilla Murray during the
academic year hold an open house every Friday in the department’s Gabel Museum for
undergraduates and others who wish to gain hands-on experience working with artifacts and
preparing interpretive exhibits for the display cases in the department’s hallways.
Prof.
Carballo discussed archaeology with K-12 students at Robert F. Kennedy Lancaster School in
Lancaster, Massachusetts.
Our graduate student Outreach Committee is always ready to send a team of graduate students,
artifact specimens in hand, to speak to primary and secondary schools, and every October, as
part of Archaeology Month in Massachusetts, they sponsor Archaeology Day at Boston
University, providing tours of our laboratories and demonstrations of how archaeologists study
seeds and bones to learn about ancient diets and of artifact mending and other activities in
which visitors are invited to participate.

THE MARY M. B. WAKEFIELD SUMMER ARCHAEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE
In the summer of 2012, graduate students Sara Belkin and Jenny Wildt-Dixon co-directed the
annual Wakefield Archaeological Summer Institute at the historic Wakefield Estate in Milton
Massachusetts. This program provides hands-on archaeological experience for local high
school students in Massachusetts. During the 2012 season, the group excavated the “summer
house,” a garden pavilion of the type found in most eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century
formal gardens in America and in Europe. During the month-long excavations, students found
an early twentieth-century trash dump deposited within the summerhouse foundation. The
finds recovered from the fill included dining and teaware, kitchen equipment, personal
adornment, architectural, and agricultural artifacts.
While excavating in the field and
processing artifacts in the laboratory, the team received assistance from more than 20 BU
graduate and undergraduate students. The materials recovered from the excavation will form
the backbone of Sara Belkin’s dissertation work, which will explore the construction of identity
along the individual, family, and community lines at the Wakefield Estate.
31 | P a g e
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTS
Academic year 2012–13 was a busy one for our committee on Curriculum Reform, resulting in
the preparation of a draft proposal for new degree programs (BA, MA, and BA/MA in
Archaeological Heritage) and a revised set of requirements for the MA in Archaeology.
The
draft proposals have been submitted to Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs Susan
Jackson and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Jeffrey Hughes for preliminary review; we’ll
continue to work on these proposals with input from the deans and from cognate and
collaborating departments in the hopes of submitting revised versions of the proposals to the
relevant curriculum committees and the Academic Policy Committee for formal review sometime
in the upcoming academic year.
Several new courses were approved this year, one of which, AN/AR510, Proposal Writing for
Social Science Research, was offered by Prof. Marston in spring, 2013. This course is crosslisted and co-taught with Anthropology; it is offered every year, alternating instructors from
Anthropology and Archaeology. Students who’ve taken or the course report having improved
their proposal-writing skills enormously, and at least one, Kate Ness, attributes the success of
her resubmission of a revised proposal for a NSF dissertation improvement grant in part to
what she learned in Prof. Marston’s course. The proposal-writing course is the first step in
developing a suite of courses that will focus on professional development for Archaeology MA
and PhD students.
To be offered this coming fall are two new courses, the first of which, AR200, Heritage Matters,
was developed by Prof. Elia with the aim of providing a basic introduction for undergraduates to
the burgeoning field of Archaeological Heritage studies and, should we find approval for a BA
and BA/MA in Archaeological Heritage, it will be one of the core offerings for that degree
program. Another exciting course development is Prof. Roosevelt’s AR507, Lay of the Land, a
comprehensive introduction to archaeological mapping with hands-on training in use of
equipment such as digital GPS and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and of software for GIS
mapping and photogrammetry. Field trips will provide students with practical experience while
providing them with the opportunity to map historical landscapes in the Boston area.
Another new course on the books is AR201, Americas Before Columbus, which fills a gap in our
area coverage by presenting the archaeological evidence for pre-Columbian cultures in
Mesoamerica and in North and South America. Prof. Carballo developed the course but since he
will be on leave as a Junior Fellow with the BU Center for the Humanities next year, its first
offering is on hold.

FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The major renovation project of the preceding year was the conversion of the department’s
former darkroom and visual resource center (STO348) into an Environmental Archaeology
Laboratory. This lab, directed by Prof. John M. Marston, is devoted to the study of human
interactions with past environments, focusing on the analysis of archaeological plant and
animal remains from sites worldwide spanning the Paleolithic to the recent historical period.
The laboratory opened for research in May of 2013 following renovation and installation of new
equipment. It is well equipped for the microscopic analysis of plant remains (seeds, wood
charcoal, phytoliths, starch grains, and pollen), bone and shell, soil and pottery thin sections,
and polished ceramic and metal sections, using multiple Leica transmission, incident light, and
stereomicroscopes. Wet lab facilities allow the extraction of starch, phytolith, and pollen from
artifacts and soil samples. Its comparative collections of seeds, wood charcoal, and pollen focus
on the flora of the Mediterranean, Near East, and Central Asia, while comparative animal
skeletons are mainly domestic and wild species of New England. Laboratory members and
undergraduate volunteers have already rehoused and inventoried botanical comparative
collections and will continue to expand the laboratory collections over the coming year and
make them publically available online.

lab, Rm. 348
We now have the ability to create distance-learning courses and podcasts using the Echo360
digital recording technology recently installed in the Gabel Museum (STO253), with funding
34 | P a g e
from the College of Arts and Sciences and Prof. Danti’s grant from the U.S. State Department.
The technology suite, which includes screen-capture, video, and audio recording tools, allows
us to record lectures, presentations, and meetings that can be transmitted to a global audience.
We have already begun to use the Echo360 equipment to record lectures for an Introduction to
Archaeology module for Iraqi archaeology students at Mosul University, as part of Prof. Danti's
Mosul Archaeology Project.
Michael Hamilton, Laboratory Coordinator, continued to insure that our labs, storage spaces,
and equipment are all in good order. His most challenging project over the past year was to
oversee the environmental cleanup of our thin-section lab, where many spills of resin used to
impregnate thin sections for microscopy had created a potentially hazardous working
environment. All of our labs now meet the highest standards of safety and cleanliness.
Our other renovation big renovation project was not to a lab but to the room that housed our
Teaching Fellows. That space had grown increasingly worn and shabby and had been furnished
with a miscellany of furniture salvaged from wherever we could find it. The room has now been
freshly painted and carpeted and we’ve been able to provide additional desk space through the
installation of “office-system” components that provide each student with an equal allotment of
space as well as with locking file and storage drawers.
Each work-station also has an
adjustable—and comfortable—desk chair.

LOOKING FORWARD
In August, 2013, we will welcome to the Department a new colleague, Dr. Catherine West, who
will join us as Research Assistant Professor of Archaeology.
She is an anthropological
archaeologist whose research focuses on the effects of Holocene climate change and resource
availability on prehistoric subsistence in Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems, particularly in coastal
Alaska; and on how to apply the archaeological record to contemporary environmental issues.
To address these questions, she employs zooarchaeological and stable isotope data in the
context of historical ecology and evolutionary ecology to clarify the long-term relationship
between hunter-gatherers and the Gulf of Alaska environment. She is committed to promoting
the relevance of these data for indigenous communities and marine resource managers by
participating in collaborative research projects inspired by contemporary environmental
concerns. She’ll take up residence in a newly-refurbished office in the Department (STO339)
and CAS230 will be renovated to serve as Prof. West’s Zooarchaeology Laboratory. Next year
Prof. West will teach Zooarchaeology, Archaeological Science, and other courses she will
develop in her areas of specialization.
Next year the Department will complete its Academic Program Review, with a visit from an
External Review Committee whose members will evaluate our curriculum, faculty and student
research, facilities, and the overall impact of our collective efforts.
We look forward to
constructive dialog about our strengths and weaknesses and to receiving positive suggestions
for improvement.
In the fall we will welcome a diverse group of new undergraduate majors and MA and PhD
students in the annual process of reinvigoration that makes it possible for members of the
Department of Archaeology to convey to the next generations of researchers the highest
standards of archaeological scholarship and techniques and to continue to make the exciting
discoveries and contributions to archaeological knowledge.
