The Student Association for Archaeological Sciences consists of researchers interested in applying scientific techniques to the study of archaeological and historical topics. Students members are currently carrying out research on a variety of topics, including:

• Human subsistence Change Over the Mississippian-Historic Period Transition
• Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Investigations of the Groves Creek Site, Skidaway Island, Georgia
• A Geophysical and Geochemical Study of the Little River Site, Georgia (9MG46)
• Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Lucayan Archaeological Sites from San Salvador, Middle Caicos, and Grand Turk Islands, Bahamas
• Provenance Studies of Late Archaic Southeastern Soapstone Bowls
• Metallurgy at Roman Carthage
• An Electron Microprobe Study of 19th Century Staffordshire Glazes and Pigments Including Those of the Spode Pottery Works
• The Use of Geological Methods to Investigate Manufacturing Technologies of Vitreous Materials and to Reconstruct Climatic Conditions from Glass Excavated from Early Iron Age Contexts at Hasanlu, Northwestern Iran

We would like to invite anyone who is working in archaeology or who is using scientific techniques in archaeology to talk to us about their research in our lunchtime speaker series. Please contact Sheldon Skaggs at Department of Geology, Geography-Geology Bldg, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-2501.
