Field SchoolNew Philadelphia Archaeology Project (NSF-REU): Fieldschool in Archaeology and Laboratory TechniquesStart Date: 05/23/2006 End Date: 07/28/2006 University, Company, InstitutionU. Maryland; U. Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Illinois State MuseumField School LocationNew Philadelphia, Illinois
Field School OverviewProject DirectorsPaul Shackel, University of Maryland; Terrance Martin, Illinois State Museum; and Christopher Fennell, University of Illinois, Urbana-ChampaignField School DescriptionThe history of New Philadelphia serves as a rare example of a multi-racial early farming community on the nation's Midwestern frontier. The town's population reached its peak of about 170 people after the Civil War, a size comparable to many Pike County communities today. However, by the end of the century racial and corporate politics of America's gilded age resulted in the death knell for the settlement: regional investors routed a new railroad line to pass north of the town. Many of New Philadelphia's residents eventually moved away and, by the early 20th century, only a few families remained.This NSF-REU sites program will enhance undergraduate education in scientific methods and analyses in an ongoing long-term project at New Philadelphia. The excavation and analysis of artifacts and archaeobiology data will provide students with a hands-on learning experience and mentoring process for students in an interdisciplinary setting. Ultimately, these different data sets will be integrated and the students will gain an understanding of the importance of scientific interdisciplinary research as they examine the growth and development of the town. This research will elucidate how individual members and families of this multi-racial community made choices to create their immediate environment, diet, agricultural practices, social affiliations, and consumer choices. Each student is required to submit an application form, transcripts from all colleges attended, two letters of recommendation, and an essay. For best consideration, the final date for receipt of all application materials is March 24, 2006. This field school is sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates sites program, and will select students based on their scholarly ability as well as their motivation and ability to perform scholarly and scientific research. Students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
