I'm Tasha Hodgson, and I'm currently finishing my undergraduate thesis on lithic use-wear at Brandon University. I grew up in Rivers, MB, and graduated high school in Roblin, returning afterwards to Brandon to attend University. Over the last few years I have worked as an Archaeological Instructor for Brandon University's Mini University, a Student Archaeologist for Parks Canada, excavating in the Cypress Hills (Saskatchewan), as well as Churchill, Manitoba. This past summer I took part in the large-scale Paleo site just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am attempting to develop a specialty in lithic use-wear analysis, with the hopes of building my career in Southwestern Manitoba.
