Introduction

     My name is Claire Taggesell and I'm a BSc. Psychology major, pursuing a minor in Anthropology. I feel like I may be a bit of an anomaly, because so far most people who have posted their blogs are anthropology majors! This is my final semester at UVic and I am taking this class because of my interest in the cultural information about death/burial that can be illuminated through archaeology. In particular, I am interested in the relationship between anthropology and death in the context of the global "Red Market". Outside of anthropology, my academic interests include development over the lifespan, optimal aging, and communicable diseases.
