Summary
Samiha Akter is an M.A. student in anthropology at the 夜色视频, under the supervision of Christopher S. Jazwa, Ph.D. Her research focuses on the archaeology of California’s Santa Rosa Island, part of the Northern Channel Islands. Samiha investigates patterns of human settlement, subsistence strategies, and environmental adaptation through the integration of faunal analysis.
Her work aims to understand how earlier island communities responded to shifting ecological conditions and resource availability, contributing to broader discussions of human-environment interaction, resilience, and coastal sustainability. Samiha’s research combines archaeological field methods with quantitative data analysis to reconstruct occupation chronology and habitat use across diverse drainages on Santa Rosa Island.
