REU -Site: Koros Regional Archaeological Project Field School in Hungary: Undergraduate Training in Laboratory Techniques and Participation in Research on East European Archaeology

该奖项为匈牙利维兹托的一处考古研究方法的REU遗址提供更新支持。这是由佛罗里达州立大学、俄亥俄州立大学和匈牙利贝克斯萨巴的Munkacsy Mihaly博物馆共同组织的一个合作、多学科的国际研究项目的一部分。十名学生将有机会参与旨在了解匈牙利大平原后来的史前研究。他们将帮助挖掘Veszto-Bikeri的早期库珀时代定居点。他们将(1)与匈牙利学生并肩工作，接受调查和挖掘技术的指导；(2)参加考古方法和理论以及东欧文化和历史专家讲授的研讨会；(3)参观博物馆和考古遗址；(4)计划和完成一个独立的研究项目；(5)居住在维茨托小镇，从村民、匈牙利学生和考古学家那里了解匈牙利的生活。学生将不仅负责帮助挖掘遗址，还将负责分析考古材料，以便更好地了解史前经济和社会组织。他们将在项目网站和考古期刊上发表论文和成果。该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科生研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学领域的职业生涯。

This award provides renewal support for an REU Site in archaeological research methods in Veszto, Hungary. This is part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, international research project co-organized by Florida State University, Ohio State University, and the Munkacsy Mihaly Museum, Bekescsaba, Hungary. Ten students will have the opportunity to participate in research aimed at understanding the later prehistory of the Great Hungarian Plain. They will help excavate the Early Cooper Age settlement of Veszto-Bikeri. They will (1) work side-by-side with Hungarian students as they receive instruction in survey and excavation techniques; (2) participate in seminars taught by experts on archaeological method and theory and on the culture and history of Eastern Europe; (3) visit museums and archaeological sites; (4) plan and complete an independent research project; and (5) live in the small town of Veszto and learn about life in Hungary from the villagers and Hungarian students and archaeologists. The students will be responsible not only for helping excavate the site, but also for analyzing archaeological material that will provide a better understanding of prehistoric economic and social organization. They will present papers and publish their results on the project website and in archaeological journals.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers inscience through active undergraduate research experiences.
