- Description:
- The Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology was founded to give students the opportunity to practice anthropology and archaeology in a controlled environment before entering the professional community. These roles continue to be the main focus of the laboratory today, with students collaborating with faculty on a variety of projects, ranging from artifact analysis and conservation to archival research. This tour will show some of the artifacts found through an archaeological examination of Idaho's World War II Japanese internment camp near Kooskia, as well as the Asian American Comparative Collection.
