REU Bioarchaeology of Bronze Age Social Systems

4,000-year-old human remains are being studied by teams from #RasAlKhaimah Department of Antiquities and Museums and two U.S. universities, to find out if a climate change event during the Umm Al Nar and Wadi Suq periods had implications on human #biology.

This summer's digital stories are up! Check out the amazing talent of our 2022 NSF-REU participants, along with the results of their hard work. Videos with Arabic subtitles will also be posted soon on our Youtube channel! #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA reubioarchaeology.home.blog

Check it out- here are some farewell snapshots as the '22 REU fellows depart Mobile. Whether it be by car or by plane, safe travels to all as they head home (or elsewhere 😁) today! #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA

We officially came full circle today, ending the program where it began with a goodbye brunch at the Cheese Cottage. We’re so grateful for this amazing experience, and we hope you’ve enjoyed coming along for the ride! #itsbeenreal #takeitcheesey #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA

Today we finished the last touches on our posters and videos! #LastWorkDay It was very cathartic (but also sad) to submit our files and clean up our work stations. #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA

We celebrated our last friday and our research partnerships with secret handshakes (and cupcakes)! Sad to be leaving soon but happy to have met such amazing people :) #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA #lastfriday

In the home stretch! With only a few days left in the program, we are all working hard on our digital stories (and taking much needed sunshine breaks!) #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA #almostfriday

With only a few days left, check out some initial results from our #NSFREU participants. Everyone is working hard on their final posters and digital stories and we will have a lot more #bioarchaeology to share soon! reubioarchaeology.home.blog/2022/07/07/ini…

As part of their digital story, Laura and Sarah had all the fellows participate in a squatting contest. In the end, it was a tie between Maddy and Abby! #NSFREU #bioarchaeology #REU_BoBA

Today's post by NSFREU fellow Janeth Cabañas!

While working on our digital stories, we were treated to Dunkin drinks to be energized for the rest of the afternoon! Then, Angelique and Janeth saw an Armadillo on campus.  #Americarunsondunkin #nsfreu #bioarchaeology  #REU_BoBA #bio #armadillo
