Undergraduate Spotlight Fall 2022
Connor Ball (BA Anthropology in Progress)
Connor’s research attempts to improve interpretations of archaeological lithic assemblages by establishing different potential uses of projectile points in relation to faunal, ceramic, geographic data, and oral traditions. He traveled to Santa Fe via a museum grant to examine projectile points from two archaeological sites in northern New Mexico to apply this research to this region of the Southwest. His research will help to understand subsistence and tool use in the Southwest and beyond.
