Hi all,

My name is Jessica Bishop. Originally from South Dakota, I now live and study in Boston, am a junior attending Boston University as a double major in Spanish and Archaeology. I specialize in archaeology of the New World, particularly Andean. I excavated at Tiwanaku, Bolivia over the summer, and then took a week off to visit Peru and see Machu Picchu and everything else that I have studied about the Inca in Peru. As for my edits, I added a bit to the Tiwanaku article and am in the process of editing the Machu Picchu article. Stay tuned for more edits, maybe about the Moche, Nazca, or other Inca sites. At school I volunteer at the Gabel Museum of Archaeology as a volunteer curatorial assistant and am in the process of making a Nazca exhibit for the Archaeology Department here at BU. I am an active member of our archaeology club, and hope to be an officer my senior year. Also in the works for my senior year is an idea for my Senior Thesis (at BU we call it an Independent Work for Distinction). At the moment, I am planning to study Frederick Catherwood's 1840's drawings of Maya monuments and compare them to both photographs taken in the 1890's, and modern reconstructions done on the same monuments.

I am also an avid otaku, lover of all things anime (hey, can't study archaeology 24-7, you know).

Pictures and more happiness to come!!
