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.

Sorry for the Delays in Posting

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties in Thailand. The high-speed internet connection at the Phimai Inn has been down since just after our last posting. Our only other option is an incredibly slow connection at the local internet cafe, where I am posting this update. It is unfortunately not clear when and if the connection at the Phimai Inn will be repaired, but we are doing our best. We are all doing perfectly well and our research is moving along fabulously. This week and last we have been working particularly hard to get through all of the analysis that must be done in Phimai, so that we can spend time taking more field trips to important archaeological sites and museums towards the end of our journey. When we can get our connection back at the Inn, we will provide a much more complete update. We have many wonderful experiences that we can't wait to share.
