I'm an MSc student in Bioarchaeology and Geoarchaeology at the Institute of
Archaeology, University College London. I'm presently trying to develop a
thesis topic dealing with zooarchaeological material from 17th or 18th
century American historical sites. My work experience is in American
historical archaeology and I would like to apply what I've been learning
this year (zooarchaeology and histology and taphonomy) to sites of this
type. I would appreciate any assistance or advice anyone can offer
regarding access to collections or research areas that are of current
interest in the field. I'm willing to work on new collections or previously
studied collections. I would be interested in doing anything from a site
assessment to a small histological project. I only have between June and
September to complete my thesis, so I'm looking for an interesting subject
that can be completed in this length of time. I welcome your suggestions.
