The Northern office’s Gabrielle Kinney is taking a short sabbatical to work on an exciting project in Western Panama. The Chiriqui Archaeological Project is a multi-year research project centred between the Upper Chiriqui Viejo region of highland western Panama and the Upper Terraba region of southern Costa Rica. The project aims to evaluate the effects of long-term social changes in both regions between 2000 BC and AD 1500.
Gabrielle will be working as Crew Chief undertaking pedestrian survey, excavation, mapping and documentation of previously un-surveyed highland lakes. She will also be working on a report with the aim of keeping an area of the Barilles site on the Historic Register in Panama – we wish her all the best and look forward to welcoming her back to Sheffield in July 2015.
