The Eto Perro Dugout Canoe project is an experimental archaeology project conducted by Florida State University students Haley Messer and Krissy Hogeweg. The canoe was constructed using three manufacture methods: historic style tools with fire, strictly historic tools, and prehistoric style stone tools with fire. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of the past and the undertaking of building a dugout canoe in prehistoric and historic populations in Florida. The result of the...
Show moreThe Eto Perro Dugout Canoe project is an experimental archaeology project conducted by Florida State University students Haley Messer and Krissy Hogeweg. The canoe was constructed using three manufacture methods: historic style tools with fire, strictly historic tools, and prehistoric style stone tools with fire. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of the past and the undertaking of building a dugout canoe in prehistoric and historic populations in Florida. The result of the project concludes that making dugout canoes in historic fashion using only metal tools would have significantly facilitated the project requiring the least time and resources.

Abstract/Description

For my research assistantship, I digitized drawings of ancient Greek pottery sketches that were made during earlier archaeological excursions. In addition, I have also learned a lot about ancient Greek pottery in general and the processes that went into making it, its uses, and how archaeologists go about excavating it thousands of years later. My supervisor specifically focuses on Mycenaean cooking vessels and from lessons with her combined with the digitizing of the drawings I am able to...
Show moreFor my research assistantship, I digitized drawings of ancient Greek pottery sketches that were made during earlier archaeological excursions. In addition, I have also learned a lot about ancient Greek pottery in general and the processes that went into making it, its uses, and how archaeologists go about excavating it thousands of years later. My supervisor specifically focuses on Mycenaean cooking vessels and from lessons with her combined with the digitizing of the drawings I am able to notice the subtle changes in the shape of the vessels as history progresses. Pottery is useful as archaeological evidence because one can find out many things by paying attention to its details such as when it was made, where it was made, who made it, and who used it and why. By digitizing the sketches taken in the field, the nuances can be more easily noticed and furthermore, it helps in the eventual creation of a digital database of which future archaeologists can go through to help identify pieces that they find.
