Initial Observations of Olduvai Gorge Samples
For my senior research project, Assistant Professor Laura Wasylenki advised me on a petrographic analysis of metaquartzite samples from the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The project involved analyzing and interpreting thin sections and chemical compositions of samples to determine a method for sourcing stone tools used by prehistoric hominids. With the help of Laura and other members of the SESAME LAB I was able to prepare and run my samples through the ICP-MS to determine trace element concentrations. The Stone Age Institute funded my research.
