Applications for Fall 2026 are closed for this project.
Rosemary Joyce's Honduran archaeology project is a community-based archaeological and anthropological project between the University of California researchers and community members in Central America. Data from the animal bone and shell assemblages will inform the research from these sites.
Role: Students working on this project will primarily assist in data entry and management for our online zooarchaeological database, with some work on categorization and analysis of faunal remains under the supervision of the Bear Bones Team.
Qualifications: Students should have a background in data management and willingness to complete repetitive tasks. Experience with FileMaker Pro preferable. The qualified student will demonstrate attention to detail and organizational skills.
Students with hands-on laboratory experience in anatomy, zooarchaeology, and/or paleontology is not required but prefered.
