In the lab

    

Dr. Reber is a Professor of Archaeology in the UNCW Anthropology Department.  Her research interests include archaeological pottery residues, the coastal archaeology of North Carolina, agriculture and plant domestication, archaeobotany, mass spectrometry, stable isotopes, American Bottom archaeology, the Mississippian emergence, and the archaeology of the African diaspora, especially in the Wilmington area.  Her lab, the UNCW Pottery Residue Lab, is a dedicated facility for GC/MS analysis of absorbed and visible pottery residues.  Her dissertation, Maize Detection in Absorbed Pottery Residues: Identification and Archaeological Application, applied compound specific stable isotope analysis to develop a new technique for the identification of maize compounds in archaeological pottery residues. 

 

Her book, An Archaeologist's Guide to Organic Residues in Pottery will be released in June 2022 by the University of Alabama Press.
