Newly hired Archaeologist
Dr. Timothy Riley has arrived at The Prehistoric Museum, USU Eastern, and is
ready to literally dig in.
The long awaited
arrival of an archaeologist for the museum has come to an end. It is with great
enthusiasm that the museum welcomes Dr. Riley as the newest member of The
Prehistoric Museum team.
Dr. Riley comes to us from Texas A&M University where he was
an adjunct professor in the Department of Anthropology. Upon his arrival, he has hit the ground running with an array of projects
that have been waiting for just the right person to tackle them.
This fits in
perfectly with the pace that Dr. Carpenter, Museum Director and Paleontologist,
has kept the museum running at since he came to the museum nearly two years
ago. Keeping the museum fresh and new has been a primary goal of Dr. Carpenter
and he has been incredibly successful in his endeavors.
When asked how he
feels about the archaeology position being filled, Dr. Carpenter said, “Dr. Riley
brings a well-established reputation in archaeology and we are lucky to have
him. I look forward to seeing some cutting-edge archaeology done at the Prehistoric
Museum.” It seems to be a unanimous conclusion that this recent event will be a
grand adventure for all.
The museum looks forward to seeing the exciting new things
waiting just over the horizon for archaeology and the museum.
