IIV1U Ul|>, but a USC associate professor and six anthropology students helped find 40,000 artifacts in the Republic of Ireland. "My general interest in research is in European archaeology and specifically in the spread of farming to Western Europe. We were looking for an area in which we could actually proceed with doing archaeological survey and excavations," said Stanton Green, associate professor of anthropology. Those involved in the expedition this past summer included USC students Melissa Palmer, Kimberly Grimes, David Babson, Chris Judge, Alex West and Karric Joseph, as well as Irish and English archaeologists. "We spoke with varieties of people at different universities, W the friendliest response was from a professor in Ireland," he said. "And Ireland, being an island, is a very nice study area because it's separated from the rest ot Europe." To get permission to dig in Ireland, Green had to apply formally to the Irish Commission or Archaeology. Also, each persor who was excavating had to get e license and a specific permit foi each site. "It's partly official and parti} unofficial," Green said. "Wha Pre-vet maji injured bird: ; By CANDY M. BARR ' Features reporter Eight students who take Pa !

There, he spoke to Miguel Moryata about the possibility of a joint program. This past summer, USC students Jeff Smolka, Kathy McCaston, Kimberly Williams, Mari Custodio and Laura VonHarten and Davidson College student Ellen Harding went to Mexico. Once in Mexico, the students and MacLachlan had to be introduced into Santa Catarina by a trusted member of the community. The students were introduced to the active members of the village by the Commandante , (sheriff) Mondanti of Santa Catarina. "We met them at the central government building ft thpr/* M Mar?T arhlan cair{ I Then we split into groups and walked through the village with somebody they knew and trusted." By meeting the villagers this way, he said, "Students were able to develop individual relationships with families." The students worked on different projects, but all were connected with the village. The students also spent much of their time just talking with the villagers. 'V MacLachlan hopes there will be future trips to Mexico. 1/ station health reporter. . .
