The history of Laudun includes a Roman settlement.<\/p>\nThe \u201cintegrative\u201d aspect of her terminal degree comes from the different disciplines applied to unlock the secrets held by the bones. Stable isotope analysis of bone fragments reveals what people ate during that time and what percentage of the population were locals versus migrants. She also incorporated GIS mapping to provide a more complete picture of site location.<\/p>\n
Funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant, Lambda Alpha Research Grant and Rust Family Foundation kept the work buoyant, along with UCF\u2019s Doctoral Research Support Award and the Trevor Colburn Anthropological Endowment Fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to secure a project that I was genuinely interested in and getting the grants are definitely highlights from the past four years,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Holmstrom\u2019s advisor Senior Associate Dean Tosha Dupras praised her ability to navigate an international research project during a pandemic. Dupras also commends Holmstrom\u2019s commitment to the Department of Anthropology beyond research, including co-founding an Anthropology Mentorship Program.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a fantastic experience serving as Jane\u2019s advisor, and I am proud to now have her as a colleague,\u201d Dupras says.<\/p>\n
This weekend will bring celebrations with her family, including parents, a husband and twin daughters. Then six months of publications and pursuing funding before starting her next project, a similar study of medieval Cistercian nuns in Hy\u00e8res, France. A pilot study on the remains has already provided promising results, and Holmstrom is excited to begin radiocarbon dating the bones.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get there,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
