Associate Professor of
Anthropology and CHAS steering committee member
Dr. Peter E. Siegel
has been awarded a grant of $27,100 from the National Geographic Society to
continue research into the historical ecology of the Pre-Columbian Caribbean.
During the summer of 2008, Dr. Siegel and a team of scientists
and students from Montclair State University, University of Missouri, University
of Cincinnati, and Washington State University will carry out paleoecological
fieldwork in the Nariva Swamp along the east coast of Trinidad. This work will
be integrated with last summer’s research along the west coast of Trinidad and
various locations on Antigua and St. Croix. Funding for the earlier work
($90,726) was awarded by the Archaeology and Geography and Regional Sciences
programs of the National Science Foundation.
