In this spotlight interview, the department caught up with Allyson Frisbie, a History and Archaeology Double Concentrator, to learn more about what she looks forward to accomplishing in Anthropology's Research Apprenticeship Program. The Program aims to foster collaboration between students and faculty on faculty research.

“As a research apprentice, I have been working this semester with Dr. Rivera Prince to accession the new human skeletons acquired by the anthropology department. I am interested in bioarchaeology and mortuary archaeology specifically, so the ability to work with skeletal materials, especially a willed skeleton [ie an individual that we know has given their consent to be studied by students], has been an invaluable part of my experience as an undergraduate student. Additionally, the ability to have open time for me to ask Dr. Rivera Prince random questions about osteology, archaeology, or academia in general has been indispensable and has allowed me to fully envision my future in this field.”
