Introduction

My name is Melia and this is my blog for UVic's Anthropology 392 class "Beyond the Grave: The Archaeology of Death." I am in my fourth year of my undergraduate degree and will graduate with my BA in Anthropology next December. After a break from school I hope to further my education with a social work degree, where I feel my anthropology background will be useful.

I am in this class because I enjoyed the last class I took with Erin, and also because I find interesting the ways peoples' attitudes toward the dead vary with time and location.
