 Students
and faculty from the UNLV
Department of Anthropology and Ethnic Studies are involved in a wide
range of research projects and opportunities. The fields of
Archaeology, Linguistics, Ethno-archaeology, Ethnography, Medical
Anthropology, Bio-Anthropology, Experimental
Archaeology and others are currently being explored by the department's
faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. Student
participation is always encouraged and mentored. As a
research-oriented department,
our aim is not only to help train the next generation of
anthropologists, but to contribute to the production of knowledge in
the fields of Anthropology today.
Research is being conducted in a number of active
field sites around the world, including the Southwest, Great Basin and
Alaska in the United States, the Near East, China, the
Mediterranean, India, and the Caribbean.
Research is also being conducted in several of the department's
state-of-the-art laboratories on the UNLV campus. The list and
descriptions of the projects presented here by no means covers all of
the research efforts of current faculty and students. It is
representative, however, of type of research in which the department
is actively engaged.
