Center Awardee Jessica Buckley featured in The Brink
Check out this article from The Brink featuring 2024 recipient of the Center’s Edwin S. and Ruth M. White Prize, Jessica Buckley (CAS’25).
Funded by a grant from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, Buckley (CAS’25) spent her summer in BU’s Zooarchaeology Lab examining thousands of shellfish remains from two excavation sites on Chirikof Island in Alaska. One of the main questions Buckley and West are trying to answer is how long people spent on the island. By looking at the remains, they can determine what seasons of the year humans lived on the site and consumed shellfish.
