Doctoral candidate Cher Foster publishes in major archeology journal

Cher Foster, doctoral candidate in the PhD program in Geography and Anthropology, has published an article in Ancient Mesoamerica, a leading archaeology journal. Cher is the lead author, co-authored with her advisor Dr. Heather McKillop and Dr. E. Cory Sills, University of Texas at Tyler (海角社区 PhD Geography 2013). The article is based on her dissertation research where she took marine sediment cores and analyzed them in the Archaeology lab at 海角社区 using LOI (loss-on ignition) and sorting of the organic component. The results show sea-level rise in relation to the ancient Maya settlement.
