Archaeology Field School
Archaeology field school involves students directly with multiple phases of archaeological research, including survey, excavation, documentation and artifact curation and analysis. Work is conducted to professional standards. Students get hands-on training and have the opportunity to take part in unique discoveries in Midwestern prehistory.
The field school is offered during summer sessions at local sites and can be taken for 3 to 6 credits. Site reports, photos and videos from previous years' field schools can be found below.
