Poster Title: The Nucleosynthesis History of the Sculptor Galaxy

Abstract: High resolution spectra are now available for 9 stars in Sculptor; 5 by Shetrone et al. (2003) and 4 by Geisler et al. (2003). They show a range of [Fe/H] values from -2.1 to -1.0. I will describe the trends of the abundances of a wide variety of species from sodium to europium with the Fe/H ratio. The observed ratios, [X/Fe] show a very di- fferent behavior as compared to the same ratios in the halo of our Galaxy. This indicates a difference in the supernova populations as a funtion of metallicity.
