Genevieve Woodhead and Larkin Chapman, graduate students in Archaeology, have been awarded Center for Regional Studies (CRS) Fellowships for academic year 2022-2023. 

Genevieve's dissertation examines the response of both locals and newcomers to population movement, using 12th century pottery from Chaco Canyon to determine shifts in technological, formal, and decorative style indicative of shifting communities of practice. 

Larkin's research focuses on research on human hunting and late Pleistocene/early Holocene horse extinction.
