Unearthing a Passion<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When Dr. Beverley Smith, archaeologist and associate professor of\u00a0anthropology<\/a>\u00a0in UM-Flint\u2019s\u00a0College of Arts & Sciences<\/a>, was a little girl, she would show up early for her piano lessons to\u00a0look through her teacher\u2019s collection\u00a0of\u00a0National\u00a0Geographic\u00a0<\/em>magazines. Recalled Smith, \u201cI learned about the\u00a0search for human ancestors in Africa and exotic sites in places like Peru, Cambodia, and North America. I also found the articles about animals fascinating. It wasn\u2019t until much later I found that I could integrate these two interests into a wonderful career. As an aside, I didn\u2019t know my piano teacher knew I was coming so early to read, but when she moved, she dropped off all the magazines in our garage. My parents were shocked but I was thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years later,\u00a0as an undergrad at the University of Toronto, Smith took courses in both biology and anthropology. \u201cI came to realize that, while I would have to specialize in a targeted area of study in biology, whether fish, birds, mammals, or invertebrates, as an archaeologist I would have the opportunity not only to study the bones of all of these animals, but to make them meaningful\u00a0by considering how the various species were procured, how they contributed to human survival, and what they symbolized in ideology and ritual to the people who relied on them within their environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a student with potentially disparate interests, Smith was fortunate to find a mentor in Dr. Howard Savage, described as a \u201cpioneer in the field of zooarchaeology.\u201d Remembered Smith, \u201cthis extraordinarily kind and patient professor taught me the analytic tools for my future work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her unique path was further defined when she\u00a0was recruited\u00a0to Michigan State University by Dr. Charles Cleland for her graduate studies.\u00a0His\u00a0\u201cwork on fishing techniques and the application of his research to a pivotal court case in Michigan, which supported Indian people with the right to use gill nets, made me realize that my research could benefit Native people in contemporary concerns,\u201d\u00a0said Smith. \u201cI have, ever since, worked closely with Native communities to facilitate their interests in their past, their concern for the destruction of archaeological sites, their struggle to repatriate ancestors, and their efforts to challenge restrictive jurisdictional and subsistence related laws in the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith is now an established expert who\u00a0specializes in the study of bones. Her work involves \u201cidentifying, quantifying, and analyzing the various animal species used by people [which] helps us to better understand the food sources, seasonality, and technologies used to hunt and fish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Smith, \u201cMy work also extends to the analysis of human bones, which can tell us a great deal about the health, activities, origins, and belief systems of the population. Consequently, my work overlaps considerably with more traditional STEM fields, such as biology, chemistry, and environmental studies as well as with the social sciences and the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teaching and Research at UM-Flint<\/strong><\/h4>\n

At the University of Michigan-Flint, Smith\u2019s teaching interests lie in\u00a0introductory archaeology, Mesoamerican archaeology, historical archaeology, biological anthropology, and Native Americans. She is consistently lauded as a favorite faculty member by her students, noted for her caring and excellence.<\/p>\n

Student Jonathan Henneberry described her as, \u201ca dedicated educator who has enlightened me in the practices of anthropology and archaeology through lecture as well as practice. In addition, she possesses great knowledge within the field of anthropology as well as being a wise counselor and steadfast mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"UM-Flint<\/a>

Smith\u2019s archaeological digs and expeditions have been the subject of both\u00a0UM-Flint News stories<\/a>\u00a0and those by the wider media. To her, they are an important way to connect her students to lessons.\u00a0Said Smith, \u201cThe most effective tool for engaging students in archaeology and biological anthropology is to talk about my own experiences and research in the field. When students engage in a course in which the material is a shared experience, it becomes a powerful tool for learning and opening up possibilities for their own future of inquiry. This is one of the many reasons an active and diverse research agenda by professors is essential to our legitimacy and success in a place of higher learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alumnus Thomas Steele agreed:\u00a0\u201cDr. Smith used text, supplementary readings, and videos that provided engaging, real-world experience to augment her instruction. She expected a great deal of academic maturity in order to grasp the complex cultural concepts of each course, particularly that of the Mesoamerican civilization and Native Americans . . .\u00a0I carried this level of expectation, cultural appreciation, and connection to community with me throughout my studies, which in no small way helped play a role in my academic success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of the classroom, Smith is currently \u201cworking on an National Science Foundation funded project that involves a group of scholars concerned with understanding the changing use of aquatic resources identified from inland eastern Woodlands archaeological sites during the Archaic period\u2014about 8,000 to 3,000 years ago.\u201d She and the other researchers are \u201cusing a program called, tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record) to integrate our datasets and to make this data available for other scholars in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using Expertise to Inspire<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Smith\u2019s work as a mentor and teacher continues in the community.\u00a0She is a part of the American Association of University Women\u2019s annual Explorathon\u2014a\u00a0spring event aimed at helping girls develop science literacy while being inspired by a dynamic selection of scientists and fields of study. According to the\u00a0AAUW site<\/a>, the event\u2019s \u201cfocus on women in science prepares and inspires girls by giving them role models and by showcasing state-of-the-art careers for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Smith, who presents on the popular topic of Forensic Anthropology, \u201cThis is an extraordinary opportunity for girls to learn that senior women in their aspired professions are approachable, interesting, and, hopefully, not nearly as nerdy as they expected. They value our advice which is, of course, to study and excel in as many sciences as possible in their high school coursework, and that sacrifices and hard work will reward them in their future endeavors. It is only with a broad range of knowledge and experiences that they may find something as interesting and wonderful as, for example, zooarchaeology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s expertise will be available to community members in the Flint area on\u00a0September 22, 2016,<\/strong>\u00a0as she presents\u00a0Archaeology in our Backyard<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Sloan Museum<\/strong>. Her special lecture will \u201cprovide an overview of the prehistoric past in the Flint region and will be geared to a general audience.\u201d She\u2019ll discuss methods and tools of archaeologists and the ways in which artifacts help reconstruct the past. Highlights from recovery efforts at a local ancestral burial site will be included.<\/p>\n
