West Hattiesburg , Mississippiasdasds , United States
Overview
The program has faculty in prehistoric and historic archaeology, biological anthropology, primatology, and cultural anthropology. We place particular importance on collaborative work and public anthropology. Although faculty have done research in Latin America and other areas, we have a particular strength in the Southeastern United States. We take pride in the hands-on experience students receive and our ability to mentor students with diverse academic experiences and backgrounds.
The program has four well-equipped research laboratories. All of these faculties provide opportunities for practicum and thesis projects.
- The historic and prehistoric archaeology laboratories house numerous collections from the state, including an extensive faunal comparative collection.
- The biological anthropology laboratory has one section that curates a large colonial Maya series available for bioarcheology research. Another section of the lab is devoted to hormonal and nutritional studies.
- The primatology laboratory is home to a colony of Garnett’s Bushbaby
