Check out this feature story on University of Washington undergraduate, Raquel Matthews, and her experience in historical archaeology research. We look forward to reading her thesis, which investigates experiences of childhood and play in contexts of slavery, using data on toys from sites in DAACS. Speaking about the course in archaeological data science that inspired her thesis, Matthews explains, “it was a perfect opportunity to work with DAACS and figure out how to navigate an archaeological database.”
Read her story here, from the University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences: Unearthing Clues to Past Lives and visit DAACS Artifact Queries to run your own toy queries in the database.
To date, the DAACS database has supported more than 20 student theses and dissertations. Learn more about them on our Theses and Dissertations page.
