This award will provide continuing support for a Research                       Experience for Undergraduates Site at the University of Rhode                   Island.  Students will be trained in anthropometry,                             osteopathology, trace metal and stable isotope analyses, skeletal               densitometry, and biological differentiation of skeletal samples                as tools for studying adaptation to physical and cultural                       environments through time.  Such experiences will be invaluable                 to students majoring in anthropology, biology or ecology and                    interested in pursuing an interdisciplinary approach towards a                  common objective.  The topic to be addressed is paleodietary                    reconstruction which draws from a wide variety of disciplines and               technologies--thus offering undergraduate students from several                 fields the opportunity to pursue a common goal while acquiring                  invaluable fieldwork experience and subsequent laboratory                       analysis of data collected.  This project involves collaboration                with the University of Tarapaca in northern Chile.  The principal               investigator, Dr. Marc Kelley (URI) along with co-investigators                 have established a well-defined research project for                            undergraduate training in paleonutrition reconstruction based on                well-preserved mummies and skeletal remains spanning the last                   8,000 years form northern Chile.  The students will learn new                   techniques and be in a position to assess their value for future                studies.
