Peru 2012

By celeste.gagnon On August 8, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
My Peru 2012 was absolutely amazing. I am home now and realize how much I learned and experienced through my adventures. Dr. Celeste Gagnon is an amazing influence and instructor, she opened doors for enlightenment as well as opportunities for the future. The experience as a whole was one of the greatest I’ve had. I had so much fun with all my new experiences. Diversifying myself with food, culture, knowledge, were all tools that [...]

Chinese Art Painting

By Lynn Tay On August 8, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
In my cultural class last week, I experienced two things that I have known about but have never really gotten the chance to try.  Earlier in the week, I had the chance to try traditional Chinese painting.  During the Chinese painting class, I discovered that I am more of an abstract artist.  The first bamboo drawing that I made had too many leaves everywhere.  It also had bad placement.  By the end of the class, [...]

Our Last Week in Peru

By celeste.gagnon On August 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
Hey all, sorry I have not written sooner. This is our last week here in Peru, how unfortunate! This past weekend was awesome though! Besides it being Peru’s independence day, “Veinte Ocho”, we went and visited two other archaeological sites up north and let me tell you, it was amazing. It was very similar stuff to the Huacas we study everyday but different at the same time. It was cool familiar with all the [...]

Peculiar Pacay

By celeste.gagnon On August 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
While here in Peru, I have recently discovered the strange looking and strangely delicious tasting pacay fruit; well, technically it is part of the legume family. But when we live in a world where tomatoes are fruits and watermelons are vegetables, I think classification of foreign delicacies should be rather lenient. The pacay fruit is a relative of snow peas, mostly because of the way it is packaged. The fruit is encased in [...]

All kinda teeth

By celeste.gagnon On July 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
So we have hit a number of people with mal-eruption and extra teeth. Both are vary uncommon in Peruvian prehistoric samples.  People generally have very straight teeth, the result of breast feeding and eating a diet that requires much chewing.

This summer, I have made the drive to Wagner from my home on Long Island and back eight times. I’ve planned countless events for [...]

City tour of Cusco

By vanessa.ayllon On July 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Vanessa | Peru
Hello all, I know it has been a while since I have posted but I was having trouble overseas with the internet, and now that I’m back I can’t wait to tell all my stories from Peru. Well, the first tour CIS made for all of us was the city tour. I got the chance to go into places I was not able to go before since I didn’t have a ticket. We got to [...]

Simbal, Simbal. Que tal?

By celeste.gagnon On July 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
On Saturday, June 21st, we hiked to the archaeological site of Huancha, located in the mountains on the edge of Collambay, a community outside the small town of Simbal. There, I had a chance to step into the shoes of an archaeologist conducting field work. I learned many lessons that day, both the easy and the hard way. Lesson # 1: Wear multiple layers of sunscreen on any and all exposed skin. Peru is located very close to the [...]

Things are looking up!

By celeste.gagnon On July 25, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Archive, Beyond NY, Research | Peru
Lately things have been tough in the lab for us here in Peru. We have been studying a lot of commingled remains that have been tough to take data from.  Recently things have started to turn for the better! The remains have been getting more organized and better for data collection. We must of just hit a rough patch. The organization of some of the remains are a bit hectic, but we make our [...]
