We would just like to draw your attention to the Anthropology Society’s newsletter – Four Corners. Our editor, Mac Armgstrong has been working diligently to create this piece, and all that hard work has paid off!
The newsletter features:
- Interviews with USRA funding recipients
- Faculty interview with Dr. Andy Roddick
- Information on the field school McMaster offers (Anthro 3CC6)

Take some time to give it a read. There is also a physical copy on the wall outside the archaeology lab (KTH B122)
