Dr. Carpenter Achieves International Recognition
Dr. Kenneth Carpenter, the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum director and
Renowned Paleontologist has received international acclaim by receiving the UniBio Press Award for palentological research.
The UniBio Press is a non-profit organization that distributes biology-oriented academic journals including The Palentological Research, and the Journal of Palentological Society of Japan. The “UniBio Press Award” is given each year for each journal to the authors who produce the most frequently accessed
paper among all the papers published in the previous year.
Dr. Carpenter’s paper entitled “Variation in a Population of Theropoda (Dinosauria): Allosaurus from the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry (Upper Jurassic, Utah, USA” (Paleontological Research), vol.14, no.4 pp. 250-259. December 31 2010 met this criterion for the award.

January CVAS Meeting
On Thursday January 19, the guest speaker was Grant Smith; he is the USDA/National Recourses Conservation Service Archaeologist and a new member of CVAS. He was also a guest speaker last fall
His lecture “Newest Discoveries from the Promontory Caves” drew such interest that all of sixteen people who attended kept him long after the lecture to answer several questions about the exciting finds that were found in the caves.
He promised to return to tell the group about other future discoveries in the Promontory Caves.
CVAS Vice-President Elected
A Vice-President has finally been elected to serve as the CVAS Vice-President. At the January 19, 2012 meeting Heidi Essex, a new member of CVAS volunteered to serve as the 2012 Vice-President. Heidi is a full-time student at USU Eastern majoring in secondary education and history with a minor in anthropology. She enjoys archaeology and all other aspects of anthropology.
A motion was made to elect her the CVAS Vice-President, it was seconded and she was unanimously elected. CVAS members are thankful to Heidi Essex for stepping up and being involved in the mission to preserve the past for the future.
