Recently my students and I have undertaken archaeological survey
in the Tuweep region near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We
have collected clay samples and ceramics from the region, which
will be subject to ICP-MS analysis by Sachiko Sakai, Graduate
Student and Assistant Director for the ICP-MS Laboratory. Additional
work will be conducted this spring and summer by undergraduates
and graduate students. Sachiko will present the results of the
ICP-MS analysis at the Society of American Archaeology Meeting
in April 2001.
