BACKDIRT: ANNUAL REVIEW




FROM THE DIRECTOR

I have vivid memories of sitting in Richard Leventhal’s office in A207 Fowler
sometime around 1998. I was a twenty-one-year-old anthropology major who was
there to talk to the then Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology about
whether he would consider supervising an independent research project I was
developing on the material evidence for shamanism in ancient West Mexican
funerary deposits. At that time, I was also a work-study student in Jeanne
Arnold’s Channel Islands Lab where I sorted seashells with tweezers for hours on
end until it got to the point that I was having dreams about Olivella beads.
Despite the fact that I would sometimes close my eyes and see seashells, working
with Jeanne cemented my love of archaeology. It was also her early mentorship
that made me feel welcome in the Cotsen and in the field of archaeology more
generally. Her approach to supporting students is something I draw upon often
when I now meet with my own eager undergraduates in that same lab space where I
found my calling so many years ago.
