Derivatization and Detection of FAMEs in Ancient North American Soapstone Artifacts
No full textPresentation by Natalie Prodanovich ('18) and Stephen Carmody delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).Prior to the production of pottery 3000 years ago, humans would often carve large bowls out of
rock, usually soapstone. Samples of such an artifact from the Thrash site, a Late Archaic period
(3,000-1000B.P,) site in Pike Country, Alabama, have been subjected to a three step process for
identifying fatty acids, the primary substance of foodstuffs. We used gas chromatography/mass
spectroscopy (GC/MS) to analyze samples from the artifact along with samples of natural
soapstone. The presence of different fatty acids can provide information about prehistoric dietary
habits, whether from fish, mammals and/or plants. For the analysis, however, the fatty acids must
be converted (derivatized) to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). We used a method that converts
triacylglycerides into FAMES in a one step process. These fatty acids will be correlated to a
range of plants and animals that came into an extended period of contact with the artifact
"Body-ody-oddy" Opening Reception Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Helen Files and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in December, 2018.This is an image of the opening reception for the Body-ody-oddy exhibition held in the Clough Hanson Gallery on October 26, 2018. The exhibition consisted of artists exploring the body at, against, and beyond its boundaries, creating hybrids, amalgams, and excesses that illuminate the ways that politics and pleasures are made flesh. It featured work by Katie Torn, Alex Paulus, Melissa Wilkinson, and Moth Moth Moth and the Haus of Phantosea.
Alex Paulus commented on his work, stating "My paintings are a representation of how ridiculous I think life can be...I also like to include humor in the work. If my art can make people laugh and feel good, I’ve succeeded. The paintings are usually very bright and bold in color, and the subject matter can be a little bizarre. The use of brightly colored paint seems to curb some the strange imagery and make it more palatable to the viewer."
Melissa Wilkinson commented as well, saying "These series of paintings focus on my interest in dichotomies: obscuring and revealing, attraction and repulsion, good and evil, the past and the present. I appropriate imagery from a variety of sources in order to develop a pastiche that fractures the conventional male gaze and positions art historical models as both subject and spectacle. I choose to dismantle epic narratives from the past to create a schizophrenic perspective. The images break from their original sources into fragments, creating a complex visual experience that both irritates and seduces. It is through this body of work that I seek to challenge the hetero-normative male gaze and reinvent a fluid view that fluctuates between unconventional representations of the erotic body.
