Mariah Newtson, who holds a BA in Anthropology and has worked in Ireland and Wyoming, has been with UWAR for a year; these are her thoughts on a year spent working on the Vore Collection:
"One of my favorite aspects of working on this project is the variety of taphonomic processes and human modifications that can be seen throughout the collection. I also really enjoy getting to work with bison remains; they are so much larger and different from human remains, so it is awesome to get the opportunity to interact with them. Another really great aspect of working on the Vore Project is all of the new skills and information that I have learned in this past year. I have learned to identify different types of taphonomy and/or human modifications and the ways that bison and human anatomy differ. I have also learned how to make 3-D models using MetaShape software, operate a digital microscope, and, in general, learn about how archaeological collections are processed and about the world of curation. Being a part of the team on the Vore Project has been great, but not without its initial struggles. When I first started here, I was not as confident in myself and would often second guess if I was doing things correctly. However, after gaining some experience and getting into the swing of things, I am much more sure-footed. Overall, I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work on the Vore Project and to have gained this invaluable experience."

The Buffalo Jump is an amazing place. So interesting to visit. My guide gave me so much information.
Curation efforts are gearing up for the fall semester and our post this week welcomes two new Vore Scholars to the project. Shayla McNeal will earn a Bachelor’s in Anthropology at the University of Wyoming at the end of this semester. She has a particular interest in restoration and curation. This summer she worked on an archaeological dig in Croatia as part of a recovery mission at the crash site of a World War II bomber. Shayla says that she is very excited to work with the Vore collection. She says, “I am thrilled to get some hands-on experience and training in looking at bones, cleaning them, and identifying them, as I find bones very fascinating to study. I am also looking forward to learning more about photogrammetry and identifying human modifications on bones.” Brenden O’Haire is a senior at the University of Wyoming, preparing to graduate with a degree in Anthropology and a minor in Religious Studies. Brenden has previously done curation work on artifacts recovered from the Alm Rock Shelter and Mummy Cave. He did field work in the summer of 2022 in Croatia where he participated in excavating a Bronze Age cave and a paleolithic rock shelter. Brendan tells us, “What excites me the most about working on this project is the ability to work with faunal remains, as well as learning how to identify human impact on bones. I'm also excited to expand my knowledge of the curation process and hope to take those skills with me into my professional life. Overall this is an amazing opportunity, and I am thankful and excited for it.” ... See MoreSee Less
