"In Archipelagos laboratories, we investigate the abundance of microplastics in different levels of marine ecosystems and various other sources. The Archipelagos Institute maintains 7 monitoring stations on various small, inaccessible beaches and coastal areas across two Aegean Islands, where the accumulation rate of plastic pollution is measured throughout the year to increase our understanding of the plastic’s spatial and temporal distribution and accumulation. The goal of microplastic research at Archipelagos is to quantify the extent of microplastic contamination on various levels of the marine ecosystems of the Aegean Sea. We use this new data to raise awareness and carry out lobbying activities aimed at addressing the complex problem of plastic and microplastic pollution in our seas."

2023 Bioarchaeology Field School, the Medieval Cemetery Funerary Excavation. The field school is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students.
This program provides a unique opportunity to conduct extensive hands-on training and research on an exceptional well preserved medieval cemetery, with in situ remains dating from the 11th to the 18th century. Through the excavation of an abandoned medieval church in the Transylvanian (Romania) village of Valeni (Hu: Patakfalva), we are exploring how centuries of religious and political upheaval have influenced demographics and health of the individuals interred within the church walls and associated cemetery. The very high state of preservation has allowed us to retrieve, already, the complete adult and juvenile, the latter ranging from pre-natal to sub-adult, skeletal remains from over 1200 individuals.
This field school project is part of a broader investigation of the abandonment of medieval churches in the area and provides significant opportunities for students to get involved in international bioarchaeology, multi-institution networking and collaboration, and addressing biological, archaeological, and cultural questions. Over the course of each 4-week session, students will acquire skills in broad and small scale mortuary excavation, drawing, mapping, and note taking; thereby, developing the strategic bioarchaeology skill necessary to acquire jobs working for both archaeological and forensic organizations around the world. Evenings and rain days will be used to design and complete projects using excavated materials. Students will have the opportunity to present their research in Romania, at the International Colloquium in Osteology and Bioarchaeology held every year at the Haáz Rezső Museum, as well as other major conferences if they so choose. The institutions involved are interested in extensive research and publication, allowing for many directions of continued investigation and student involvement and research.
Participants can further register to one of our Osteology Workshops, respectively the Adult Osteology Research Laboratory Workshop or the Juvenile Osteology Research Laboratory Workshop, in order to develop a wider array of skill sets. Undergraduate and graduate cademic credits can be acquired separately from University of South Florida (although it is not required to register for credits to participate in our programs).

Juvenile Osteology Laboratory Research Training Workshop
The Workshop is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students. Our 4-week long (each) intensive training program will provide students with the necessary skills to conduct osteological analyses and frame appropriate research questions. The combination of an exceptionally rich and well preserved skeletal research collection, the intensive hands-on laboratory training, and small research groups will ensure that each participant develops an extensive osteological skill set. The latter will comprise an in-depth knowledge of all bones in the human body, including landmarks, muscles attachments and articulations, determining sex and age, development and pathologies; an understanding of fundamental concepts related to the human dentition; how to obtain basic demographic data from skeletal populations; and how to conduct proper intensive research under laboratory conditions.
The Juvenile Osteology Laboratory Research Training Workshop will provide participants with an intensive review of juvenile osteology and an overview of the ways in which this kind of unique information is interpreted. During the Workshop, participants will have the chance to study the growth and development of the human skeleton across various juvenile age cohorts, weaning and dietary stress, as well as reconstruction and interpretation of infant mortality.
This program provides an unique opportunity to conduct extensive hands-on training and research on an exceptional osteological collection. The very high state of preservation has allowed us to retrieve the skeletal remains of more than 700 juveniles (ranging from pre-natal to sub-adult). Our research collections come from five archaeologically excavated medieval lost churches around the town of Odorheiu Secuiesc (Transylvania, Romania), as well as from our on-going medieval “Lost Church” excavation at Patakfalva (RO: Valeni, Harghita County, Romania).
Undergraduate and graduate academic credits can be acquired separately from University of South Florida (although it is not mandatory to register for credits to participate in our programs).
