项目摘要
This project is funded from the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program in the SBE Directorate. As such, it has both scientific and societal benefits, and it integrates research and education.This eight-week international REU Site brings eight undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds to Sicily, Italy for four weeks to collect data from ancient human skeletons, and back to the United State for four weeks to work in the research laboratories at the University of Georgia. Students complete independent research projects relating to the health, activity patterns, diet, and genetic relatedness of people at the Greek colony and battlefield of Himera to better understand the biocultural consequences of culture contact in the past. Globalization is ever-increasing and often resembles colonization with its spread of ideas and people to developing nations. REU students will learn first-hand about deep roots and biological dimensions of interactions between diverse populations. Participants receive specialized field and lab training in archaeological chemistry, anatomy, research design, and data analysis. Students will leave the REU with greater technical and analytical skills, better preparedness for graduate study and professional careers, and heightened awareness of global issues relating to population contact, inequality, human conflict, and health transitions. These skills are foundational for improving global citizenship and stewardship in any career.To promote scientific literacy and global engagement among undergraduates, this three-year REU Site integrates students as junior partners of the Bioarchaeology of Mediterranean Colonies Project, a cross-disciplinary, international research program that has brought undergraduate students to the Mediterranean for the past three summers. REU students generate new anthropological knowledge related to human adaptation and the impacts of culture contact in the ancient Mediterranean. Student projects focus on the more than 12,000 skeletons unearthed at Himera, which in the 7-5th centuries B.C. was the site of Greek colonizing efforts and violent battles. Himera represents an early epicenter of rising ethnic inequality. REU students plan and execute independent research projects exploring biocultural impacts of culture contact in Greek Sicily, including changes in diet, activity patterns, health, mobility, and genetic admixture, using stable isotope biogeochemistry, molecular anthropology, osteology, paleopathology and statistical analysis. Students collect bioarchaeological data from human skeletons at Sicily for four weeks, and spend the remaining four weeks at the University of Georgia (UGA) apprenticed in the UGA Bioarchaeology and Biochemistry Laboratory, analyzing field specimens. REU students participate in focused workshops and seminars, and work with dedicated mentors, receiving hands-on training for research projects. Through these activities, students (1) learn archaeological and anthropological field and lab methods, (2) learn from both American and Italian scholars, (3) visit museums and archaeological sites on Sicily, (4) design, execute, and present independent research projects that make substantive contributions to anthropology, (5) live in the city of Palermo, Italy where they will interact with Italian students and citizens, and (6) remain in close contact with faculty mentors for a full academic year to publish their results and present at international conferences. Two PhD student affiliates will gain mentorship training. REU students will leave better prepared to pursue and succeed in graduate school, excel in STEM careers, and be more globally engaged citizens.
该项目由SBE董事会的本科生研究经验(REU)网站计划资助。这个为期八周的国际REU网站将八名来自不同背景的本科生带到西西里,意大利四周收集古代人类骨骼的数据,然后回到美国四周在格鲁吉亚大学的研究实验室工作。学生完成有关的健康,活动模式,饮食和人的遗传相关性在希腊殖民地和希梅拉战场的独立研究项目,以更好地了解在过去的文化接触的生物文化后果。全球化在不断发展,而且往往类似于殖民化,将思想和人口传播到发展中国家。REU学生将学习第一手资料关于不同人群之间相互作用的深层根源和生物层面。参与者接受考古化学,解剖学,研究设计和数据分析的专业领域和实验室培训。学生将离开REU更大的技术和分析能力,更好地为研究生学习和职业生涯做好准备,并提高对与人口接触,不平等,人类冲突和健康转型有关的全球问题的认识。这些技能是提高全球公民意识和任何职业管理的基础。为了促进本科生的科学素养和全球参与,这个为期三年的REU网站将学生作为地中海殖民地项目生物考古学的初级合作伙伴,这是一个跨学科的国际研究项目,在过去的三个夏天里,该项目将本科生带到了地中海。REU学生产生与人类适应和文化接触在古地中海的影响新的人类学知识。学生项目集中在希梅拉出土的12,000多具骨架上,希梅拉在公元前7- 5世纪是希腊殖民努力和暴力战斗的地点。希梅拉是种族不平等加剧的早期中心。REU学生计划和执行独立的研究项目,探索希腊西西里文化接触的生物文化影响,包括饮食,活动模式,健康,流动性和遗传混合物的变化,使用稳定同位素地球化学,分子人类学,骨骼学,古病理学和统计分析。学生收集生物考古数据从人类骨骼在西西里四周,并花费在格鲁吉亚(UGA)在UGA生物考古学和生物化学实验室学徒大学的剩余四周,分析现场标本。REU学生参加重点讲习班和研讨会,并与专门的导师合作,接受研究项目的实践培训。通过这些活动,学生(1)学习考古学和人类学领域和实验室的方法,(2)从美国和意大利学者学习,(3)参观博物馆和考古遗址的西西里,(4)设计,执行,并提出独立的研究项目,使人类学的实质性贡献,(5)生活在城市的巴勒莫,意大利,他们将与意大利学生和公民互动,及(6)与导师保持紧密联系,并于一个学年内发表研究成果及出席国际会议。两名博士生附属机构将获得导师培训。REU学生将离开更好地准备追求并在研究生院取得成功,在STEM职业中脱颖而出,并成为更多的全球参与公民。
