Students find
Irish artifacts
By JOY LEPAGE
Features reporter
It wasn't a Ivnir-al trm
. ? VK..u. 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
