Field School LocationColebrook, NH, USA
Field School OverviewProject DirectorsRichard A. Boisvert, PhDState Archaeologist and Edna Feighner Staff Archaeologsist NH Division of Historical Resources 19 Pillsbury St. Concord, NH 03301-3570 Field School DescriptionThe field school will take place in Colebrook, NH at a site discovered in 1996. This site contains Paleoindian (10,290 +/170 radiocarbon years) and Archaic components situated on an outwash terrace overlooking the Connecticut River. The initial investigations only partially documented the site. The 2006 field school will be focused on acquiring sufficient information to nominate this site to the National Register of Historic Places. Investigations will include additional survey to document the full extent of the site, intensive mapping as well as small block excavations designed to evaluate the extent and composition of the Paleoindian component.Participants in the field school will be instructed in the fundamentals of archaeological excavation techniques. The principal field methodology will entail excavation of shovel test pits and excavation by trowel in small excavation blocks, with the objective of obtaining stratigraphic as well as horizontal contextual data. The students will be taught artifact recognition skills, field data recording techniques and basic laboratory methods. Completion of the field school will provide a solid introduction to field methodology equivalent to that employed in cultural resource management evaluation projects. Fieldwork will be supplemented with lectures by specialists in related fields. The field school is co-sponsored by the NH Division of Historical Resources under the State Conservation and Rescue Archaeology Program (SCRAP) and Plymouth State University. All fieldwork and instruction will be directed by Dr. Richard Boisvert, NH State Archaeologist, and conforms to the standards for archaeology set by the National Park Service.

The objective in the summer field schools is to take each student at whatever level of experiance they may have and bring them to the next level of expertise. The field crews are extremely diverse in age, education and background. Volunteers receive the same training as credit students, the only difference is that the latter are required to complete an individually tailored project in addition to their field work. The 2006 field school will probe more fully a Paleoindian occupation that has produced a series of channel flakes, a post hole pattern and a hearth dating to 10,290 radiocarbon years. This is one of the few sites in New England to produce a well dated occupation. Surrounding the Paleoindian component are Archaic occupations and the potential remains for other components to be identified nearby. Systematic survey has the potential to reveal an exceptionaly long occupational sequence in a single location. The field school will be located in a quiet, scenic community in northern NH. The field camp will have dedicated facilities at a State Park located on a mountain pond with boating and fishing opportunities. Participants can take advantage of hiking opportunites in the White Mountains, Vermont or spend a weekend in Montreal which is less than a three hour drive. |
