Hi, I’m Rhys and I’m a sophomore. Up until this semester I attended Arcadia University with the intention of majoring in cultural anthropology. Through Arcadia, I studied abroad in London for a semester. It was during that time that I decided to switch my major to archaeology and ended up here, as Arcadia didn’t have an archaeology program. I’ve lived in Ohio all my life, in a suburb called Maumee that no one seems to have heard of, and I’m afraid I’m not a particularly interesting person.

My interest in this class is very broad. I enjoy learning in general, so I’m happy to take notes on whatever comes up. If I had to pick one specific thing, I suppose I’m interested in the day-to-day living and gender roles of the time period. We covered a little bit of South American history in my high school Spanish classes, but we were overall more focused on the language. In that regard, I’m also interested in how each country (their borders, dialects, etc) came to be as they are now.
