Tangert (1980)
I am a senior anthropology and geography major at Millersville University in Millersville, PA. I am looking for opportunities such as this to gain experience in fieldwork. My interests include political anthropology and religion. I like to travel but I suppose that is a given for anthropologists. Please feel free to email me with any questions or thoughts.

I am an Anthropology student at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, although I am originally from Dallas (Texas). I really love to travel, and like to have a fun time wherever I am. I also enjoy playing music on the few instruments that I have learned, and everyone describes me as a very laid back guy. I am really looking forward to getting to do some in depth field work in Malta

Lewis (1983)
I am a senior at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in History, Anthropology, and Religious Studies. I lived in London last year, traveling throughout Europe and have been eagerly awaiting a new and exciting adventure. I love traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures. I am always enthusiastic about challenges and Malta guarantees to be an insightful and life-changing opportunity.

Tiffany Luck (1985)
I am a senior at the University of Virginia, double majoring in Anthropology and Latin American Studies. My love for foreign language and culture initially led me to Anthropology. Now, a profound fascination with alternative modes of being in the world makes me love being an anthropologist. I spent last summer living in Rio de Janeiro and had the time of my life! I am looking forward to another incredible experience – doing fieldwork and meeting interesting people.

Adrienne Foster (1985)
From fall 2005 to Spring 2006 I am studying at the University of Hyderabad in India. While here I am taking classes in anthropology, Hindi, and history. The anthropology classes are to fulfill my anthropology major back at my home institution in the USA: Juniata College. My motivation stems from my desire to get an in depth, focused field experience. I think that this Summer School is a perfect opportunity for me to meet these goals. It will also help by giving me experience which I can build upon and direct towards my future career as an Applied Anthropologist. A program such as this one would be an amazing opportunity for anyone who is interested in doing field work in the future and it is especially helpful in that there will be anthropologists there to help the participants with their field work if necessary. I believe that I would truly benefit from this experience firstly through first hand research and secondly through the advice and guidance of well established anthropologists.

Adam Thompson (1983) After graduating in May of 2005 I worked in American Samoa, an island in the South Pacific, assisting in a major excavation, intensive field surveys, and my own personal project mapping a unique irrigation feature. I would like for this experience to provide a comparison to the archaeology of Malta that will help to improve research in both areas. My interest is in subsistence practices of island environments and the sea trade that accompanied these practices.

Sara Rich (1980)
I am currently between schools, having graduated with a BFA from the University of Kansas in 2003, and hoping to be admitted to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for Master's studies in Art History (with an emphasis on Ancient Art and Archaeology). Although I am an exhibiting artist and published writer (see www.artstew.org), my career path will be a pursuit in combining my passions: art, archaeology, museums, and oceanography. Thus, after completion of my Master's degree, I will pursue a Ph.D. in Nautical Archaeology from Texas A&M. I authored a research paper (not yet published) titled "Playing in the Dirt: Ancient and Modern Earthworks" in 2002, so you can see my long-standing interest in megalithic temples! My specific areas of field research are in the Bronze Age Mediterranean: 1) Geoarchaeology of trade routes, 2) Female deities as sculptures, 3) Transposition of written language, 4) Punic colonies, 5) Burial and death, monuments and mourning. I am very excited about doing research in Malta for a hands-on, in-person, on-site investigation of an island in a nautical crossroad of the Mediterranean with African, Levantine, and Graeco-Roman influences.
