Undergraduate Anthropology students from a number of Pennsylvania’s State System universities will attend the PASSHE undergraduate Anthropology Conference April 18-19, 2009, at IUP.

Faunal analysis, gender studies, geophysics, primate studies, lithic analysis, cultural studies, ceramic analysis, and head nodding in college classrooms are some of the topics that will be covered by poster and paper presentations.

Drs. Beverly Chiarulli and Sarah Neusius presented the poster “Burying the Past: Observations on Unintentional Site Reburial at the Johnston Site, Indiana County, Pennsylvania” at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C.

Any IUP student may register for the few remaining spots in the school. This is a great way to learn excavation techniques and how to handle artifacts in a Late Prehistoric era site in Indiana County.
