Julian Schultz, archaeology PhD student in the University of Michigan Department of Anthropology, has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship for his project on faunal analysis.

Schultz (pictured here on survey in Kosova in 2021) will spend the 2022-2023 academic year in Tirana, Albania, conducting faunal analysis on a number of assemblages from across Albania in an effort to address questions surrounding prehistoric herd management strategies. The data he acquires will be used to write his dissertation. In addition, he will establish the first permanent comparative faunal collection in the country, in the hopes of paving the way for decades of faunal research to come. His work is titled Neolithic Albanian Archaeofaunal Analysis Project (NAAAP). 

Congratulations, Julian!
