Chloe Coberley

Throughout the 2024 Summer season, I worked as a collections management intern under the direction of Dr. Mindy Pitre, Chair of St. Lawrence University’s Anthropology Department. My internship involved re-cataloging and researching a series of Alaskan artifacts from a collection donated to the university in 1978 by James and Ione Couch. 

Image of a series of artifacts incluced in the Couch collection including: a model blanket, an ivory Ptarmigan figure, a decorated birch container, an Inuit doll, a fossilized Mastodon tooth, a grass basket, a charcoal drawing by George Aden Ahgupuk, a carved wooden spoon, and a Projectile Point
