about my university



I’m not really sure about the administrative situation in my university, basically because the most of the time I’m here, I’m studying, playing in my NDS, looking for the texts I have to read or working at the biological anthropology laboratory.
I guess that’s for this reason that the things I think that need improvement, are things related with the laboratory and the way that we have to work in [because is the university instance where I participate with other people the most]. For example, there are neither labels nor materials to label the boxes at the underground storage, and the collections are in a complete mess because of that, including boxes that disappeared forever or that suddenly are empty in the middle of the corridor.
The first step to deal with the situation is to recognize that there’s a problem and in this case is a priority to save the bones’ collection, and the artifacts’ collection from getting rotten or suffer any kind of damage. Unfortunately only the people that face the problem directly every day [like the people from the laboratory or even the students] know how serious this is. The real benefits of improve this situation are pretty obvious:
- I t would be easier identify some specific pieces of bone material amongst the whole register.
- It would be easier to localize specific pieces to analysis and research.
- There would be a better register of how many materials to work with we have.
- There could be more publications about researches that are made in a well conserved material.
About the next step? I don’t know, but first we have to start by organizing everything.
See ya.

  1. You are right, the situation in the laboratories is awful, when I started studying archaeology I spected a scientific degree with huges laboratories and with a lot of chemistry and things like that... the truth is really painful..

    Take care and see you in the lab.
