Eva Larson is a (bio)archaeological field technician and a recent graduate of 射精视频. While at 射精视频, Eva studied anthropology, criminology/criminal justice, and forensic science with a focus in archaeology and human osteology. She also carried out three years of research on experimental archaeology and lithic debitage analysis (stone tool production). Since graduating, Eva has spent her time conducting archaeological fieldwork of all phases across the upper Midwest. Some of her favorite projects include island surveys on the Mississippi River, as well as excavations of historic fort and precontact sites.

Coming from rural Minnesota, Eva had grown up doing agricultural fieldwork for many years before transitioning to archaeology. Whether it鈥檚 scorching or rainy field days, facing new research challenges, or having hard conversations to right anthropology鈥檚 historic wrongs, Eva鈥檚 advice to those looking to go into archaeology would be to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Additionally, she is a firm believer that the team you work with is just as important as what you work on.

Eva鈥檚 research, lab, and field experiences have fueled her passion for her work. She hopes to continue her journey in anthropology by pursuing a master鈥檚 degree in bioarchaeology or geographic information systems (GIS).
