Abrahamson Receives Fellowship at the Boundary End Archaeology Research Center

Doctoral candidate Hannah Abrahamson received a 2021-22 George Stuart Residential Fellowship. The fellowship is housed at the Boundary End Archaeology Research Center, a scholarly retreat, library and meeting space place in the North Carolina mountains. The center was founded by Dr. George Stuart, a former Associate Editor of the National Geographic Magazine who, in that role, participated in many significant archeological investigations of Mesoamerican sites. The fellowship will help to support Abrahamson’s work completing her dissertation, titled “Women of the Encomienda: Households and Dependents in Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century Yucatan, Mexico.” Her advisers are Yanna Yannakakis, Javier Villa-Flores, and Tonio Andrade.
