Rinita Dalan presented at the Society for American Archaeology Annual Meeting
Rinita Dalan, Anthropology and Earth Science, presented a paper at the Society for American Archaeology Annual Meeting, April 15-19, in San Francisco, California. Her paper was part of an invited symposium, “A Twenty-year Retrospective of Sponsored Research for Archaeological Innovation” sponsored by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). Dalan discussed the impact of 3 NCPTT grants and 2 NSF grants directed toward developing magnetic susceptibility instrumentation and applications. She was also a co-author on a paper (with Diana Greenlee and Thurman Allen) on the discovery and study of a previously unknown mound at Poverty Point, a monumental earthworks site built ca. 3700-3100 BP by hunter-fisher-gatherers that was recently inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.
