KU BEARS Research Student Presents to Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology
KU geology major Sierra Smart presented the results of her summer research project to the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeologists, John Schrader Chapter 21. The project entailed several days of data collection with ground-penetrating radar and magnetometry to produce detailed geophysical maps of subsurface variations and structures. The results will be used to guide future archaeological excavations of the site. This research was funded through the 2024 KU BEARS grant program.
