Our Days in Southeast Asia

We received funding from ASIANetwork Freeman Foundation Student Faculty Summer Fellowship for Emily Powers Dean, Shawn Fehrenbach, Rogelio Rivera, and Mandy Turner -- all NKU students and Dr. Judy Voelker to travel to mainland Southeast Asia in June 2005 to conduct analysis on ceramic material from the archaeological site of Ban Non Wat, northeast Thailand. Our research will familiarize us with Thai culture and society.

Emily and Mandy hard at work

Now for the fun part! Before getting to analyze the pottery we filled out paper work using the burial and artifact registries. We started a record sheet for each of the ceramic artifacts. Then, we sorted the clay pellets and anvils, to prepare them for and expedite the analysis. Today, we worked with the artifacts first hand.
