Emily Quarato, a rising junior from New York majoring in chemistry and anthropology, has been selected to participate in a National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates site project this summer in eastern Hungary, where she will study a Bronze Age cemetery population.Quarato, who is a UAB Chemistry Scholar and member of the UAB Honors College’s Science and Technology Honors Program, will work in the Bronze Age Körös Off-Tell Archaeological (BAKOTA) Field School hosted by Quinnipiac University and the NSF REU Site program.
"As a participant in this program I will work with an international, multidisciplinary research team on the analysis of a Middle Bronze Age cemetery and settlement in eastern Hungary," Quarato said. "I will be working with a mentor to conduct an independent research project related to isotopic analysis of burials from Early and Middle Bronze Age cemeteries."
The six-week project will run from July 5 to Aug. 15.
