At last week's annual meetings of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) and the Dental Anthropology Association (DAA) in Cleveland, Ohio, two Department of Anthropology doctoral students were recognized for their outstanding research contributions.
Katherine Bishop was awarded the AAPA Mildred Trotter Prize for her poster entitled "Isotopic perspectives on the shep-herd relationship at two Hellenistic (ca. 323 - 31 BCE) settlements in Thessaly, Greece".
Jennifer Nelson is the winner of the DAA C.G. Turner II/Cambridge University Press poster competition for her poster entitled "Do teeth forming in different early life periods show differential discrepancy with known age?"
The AAPA, and its related associations like DAA, are the largest international conferences in biological anthropology. Congratulations to these early career scholars for having their doctoral research recognized in these venues.
