Marie Hopwood is currently a Ph.D. candidate at State University of New York (SUNY), Binghamton and will be completing her degree in the Fall 2008 semester. She received an M.A. in Anthropology from California State University at Fullerton (CSUF) in 2001. Marie is an anthropological archaeologist with research interests in the ancient Near East, museum studies and the anthropology of food. Her dissertation entitled “Social Cohesion and Food Preparation at the Halaf Site of Fıstıklı Höyük, Turkey” explores the relationship between archaeological assemblages of food preparation artefacts and community cohesion in prehistoric Mesopotamia. She is currently a field technician, ground stone analyst and illustrator for the Ubaid period (5th millennium BC) site of Kenan Tepe with the Upper Tigris Archaeological Research Project (UTARP) in south-eastern Turkey. Marie will be presenting papers at two invited conferences in the Spring 2009; “Creating Community: Food Preparation and Community Cohesion at Fıstıklı Höyük, a Halaf Period Site” at the Household Archaeology in the Middle East and Beyond: Theory, Method and Practice at the University of Utah, and “Feeding a Community: Absorbed Residue Analysis on Ancient Pottery from the Halaf Period” at the Conference on Interpreting the Late Neolithic of Upper Mesopotamia in Leiden. She is greatly looking forward to her role with the Sociology and Anthropology department at DePauw University beginning in the Fall 2008 semester.
