Field School Description
Field School Description
The University of Maryland Department of Anthropology and the Office of Continuing and Extended Education announce the 25th season of excavation with Archaeology in Annapolis, a summer program of onsite archaeological excavation and research. This intensive, six-week program devotes eight hours daily to supervised archaeological fieldwork. The Summer 2006 excavations extend a long-term program of public archaeology in Maryland s state capital that is supported by the Mayor and City Council of Annapolis.
Excavations within the city will take place in Parole, the site of a Civil War prison camp, and a working- and middle-class African American neighborhood that developed during the 19th and 20th Centuries. As this will be our first work in the neighborhood, and excavations will be exploratory. This year excavations will also be conducted outside of the city, at the former plantation of Edward Lloyd on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, on Maryland s Wye River. This former plantation is where Frederick Douglass was enslaved as a boy, and is described in his autobiography My Bondage, My Freedom. Test excavations were carried out during the summer of 2005, and these verified the location of a former quarter for slaves and the existence of very rich archaeological deposits from Frederick Douglass time. Intensive excavations at this site will begin during the summer of 2006, continuing this multi-year archaeological study.
ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES:
This course offers training in archaeological field techniques and related concepts, and students will be evaluated according to the skill and understanding that they acquire, the quality of their work and their contribution to the research. Students are responsible for reporting to the site each day and contributing to the fieldwork, lab work and ensuing discussion as each progress. Students will complete weekly reading assignments that address the methods and theories of recent historical archaeological research. Students will review their assignments at a weekly discussion led by project staff. There will be weekly site seminars where students will share progress in their excavation units with others so that an understanding of the whole is always in sight.
