Black Rose has found a University that offers both of her 'loves'.

Anthropology is devoted to the study of human beings in all of their social and cultural complexity. Anthropologists seek to describe the inner workings of human social groups and to understand how and why societies change over time.  Anthropologists seek to foster an approach that is at once critical and engaged.

Archaeology approaches past human cultures through what they have left behind: material culture or artifacts; ecofacts, including animal bones and plant remains; architectural features and even cultural landscapes, like settlement systems or coastal zones. Bioarchaeologists specialize in the study of human remains.

A few current research projects include excavations of:
* the early 17th-century English colony of Ferryland, south of St. John's
* prehistoric and historic sites in Nova Scotia
* regional sites containing 4500 years of First Nations, Paleoeskimo and Inuit settlement in southern Labrador

She could Major in one and Minor in the other she says!   Maybe she'll join the rank of "A" as in become 'A'nthropologist or "A"rchaeologist.  Of course with us she already does!   Way to go on your AWESOME report!   An over-all grade average of  92.6% - is that possible in your grade level???!  I know it is luv, because you did it!   YOU ROCK GIRL.  We are SO PROUD of you.  No matter what you choose in life, we will always be proud of the lady that you have become.
