UWL Archaeology Global and Local Activities: Highlights from Serbia and Wisconsin

Highlights from Dr. Nicodemus’ research in Serbia and Dr. Walder’s community engagement project in Wisconsin.

Amy Nicodemus will discuss major findings from five research campaigns at the Bronze Age tell settlement of Rabe Anka Siget, Serbia. This project explores the roots of the dramatic changes that characterize the European Bronze Age, such as the rise of complex metallurgy, trans-continental trade networks, and social inequality. She will also highlight collaborations with Serbian partners, including the development of a joint UWL-University of Belgrade archaeological field school.

Heather Walder will discuss the outcomes of five field seasons of community-engaged collaborative fieldwork with the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Tribal Historic Preservation Office in Red Cliff, Wisconsin. Together are investigating both ancient and recent historic archaeological sites on the Red Cliff reservation to better understand and protect these significant and sacred places.

Nicodemus is an Associate Professor in the UWL Archaeology and Anthropology department. She has directed the Rabe Anka Siget Archaeological Project (Serbia) since 2017 and co-directed the Pecica Archaeological Project in Romania since 2011.

Walder is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the UWL Archaeology and Anthropology department and a Research Affiliate at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois.  She has co-directed Geté Anishinaabe Izhichigéwin Community Archaeology Project (GAICAP) since 2018.
