Field SchoolThe 2006 University of Oregon, Pacific Island Archaeological Field SchoolApplication Deadline: April 1, 2006 Project DirectorsProject DirectorE. Quent Winterhoff Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon UO, Museum of Natural and Cultural History Principal Investigator William S. Ayres Department of Anthropology Field School DescriptionThe Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon continues the two decade tradition of Pacific Island archaeology with the 2006 summer field school. We invite you for a six week of field training in unforgettable Tutuila, American Samoa.Simply, Archaeology is the study of our human past. However, an archaeologist needs a repertoire of complex skills to do Archaeology in the field and in the laboratory. For example, archaeologists need to understand orienteering, photography, geomorphology, drafting, survey and excavation techniques to conduct field work. The main focus of this course is to create an environment in which its participants can begin to master those skills. In addition to hands on training, the field school will include cultural workshops to help maximize the students understanding of contemporary Samoan society. The Samoan Island of Tutuila Located in Western Polynesia, the high island of Tutuila has steep volcanic slopes covered in lush vegetation surrounded by a small fringing reef. Previous archaeological research demonstrates that Tutuila was an extensive production zone for basalt tool exchange in prehistory. Stone tools from the island s different quarries have been recovered on surrounding archipelagoes at sites dating between 2000 to 300 years ago, thus making the island of Tutuila integral to analyzing processes of exchange in a larger Polynesian setting. The main research objective of this field school is to understand the role of Tutuilan stone quarries and their tool production variation in long-distance exchange as it relates to island societies and the development of social complexity in Samoa. The cost of the course is $2400 This includes your tuition, fees, room, board and equipment. Transportation will be furnished while on island. However, it is the responsibility of the participant to purchase their plane ticket (separate in price from the course cost) from the United States to Tutuila, American Samoa (PPG- airport code). Enrollment is limited. So, by April 15th, participants will present the instructor with a photocopy of a plane ticket receipt entailing the student's upcoming itinerary. (Contact the instructor prior to ticket purchase.) The ticket will be used as confirmation and deposit for the course. Students will live in a house within a rural setting. The house is part of a community, so remember to be courteous to your neighbors, and expect visitors. The house will have a kitchen, dining, laboratory, bedroom (although there will be sharing) and bathroom facilities. Also, cooking and cleaning chores will be shared. Students will be divided into six crews of two and assigned rotating camp duties, including preparing meals, washing dishes, and maintaining adequate cleanliness for the house. These duties will be in addition to the regular course requirements, and your participation will be a significant part of your grade. Tutuila s climate is tropical. During their winter (June, July and August), the island s average daily temperature is 85 to 75 °F with high humidity. Students will bring their own bedding, clothing, and personal supplies (check the webpage for further details). All archaeological supplies will be provided; however, participants will be responsible for their upkeep during the course. Essential Items: Backpack for day use, Hat, Clothing for two weeks, Bedding, Towels/ Washcloth , Toiletries, Sunscreen, Bug Spray, Two One-quart Nalgene Bottles, $500 spending money, !!Most Important!! Your own Marshalltown Trowel. Recommended clothing entail t-shirts or light-fabric button-up shirts, quick drying shorts, a pair of running shoes, a pair of flip flops, and a set of semi-formal clothes. Tutuila, similar to the rest of Samoa, is a conservative society when it comes to clothing (i.e. both sexes swim in shorts and t-shirts); so err towards modesty when choosing clothing to pack. Coin-operated Laundromats will be available on island. Suggested Items: Books, Cards, Music, Camera, Board Games, and Laptop.
