Archaeology Field SchoolMountains and Plains ... UW Archaelogy Field School 2006 (UWAFS2006)Application Deadline: 5/15/06 University, College, InstitutionUniversity of Wyoming Location of Field SchoolWyoming USA
Field School OverviewProject DirectorsDr. Charles A. Reherand Mr. Rick Weathermon Department of Anthropology University of Wyoming Field School DescriptionThe University of Wyoming is offering the 30th Annual Archaeology Field School for Undergraduate and Graduate Students. This class provides professional‑level training in field research methods at several locations, emphasizing controlled excavation of stratified geological/cultural deposits, use of mapping instruments, systematic surface survey procedures, excavation of dense bone middens and dry rock shelters, and other tasks. Related workshops, tours, and discussions deal with Plains cultural history, dating methods, historical archaeology, geomorphology and matrix processing, zoological analysis, ethnobotany, flint knapping, and public archaeology.Prior to the three Main Field Sessions, we are offering a Professional Orientation Workshop which greatly expands student training and enhances the Field School experience. Other possible options include supplemental credit and alternate schedules. Please note that we can offer In-State Tuition rates for the Main Sessions. We have a strong record of producing entry-level professionals qualified for employment on research and CRM crews. Juniors, seniors and graduate students are preferred but we sometimes can accept Anthropology majors with less background who are trying to "get a jump on the competition", or students from other majors who want to learn more about field archaeology. Any UWAFS-06 member can volunteer for more excavation experience at other UW research projects during or after the Field School, and there often are employment opportunities. UWAFS-2006 is a good place to find out if you want to pursue a career involving field excavation and survey. Be prepared to spend half of a summer "living and breathing" archaeology. The Professional Orientation Workshops (June 6-10) will be held at the High Plains Archaeology Project (HPA) in the small SE Wyoming town of Pine Bluffs. Morning and afternoon sessions will delve into Plains cultural chronology, basic lithic analysis and faunal analysis, use of mapping instruments, excavation control systems and other topics as well as field trips to sites. HPA Project is a long term research, public education, and economic development project which is investigating western Plains adaptation at numerous sites in Wyoming, SW Nebraska, and NE Colorado. HPA sites include the Pine Bluffs Site (48LA312), which has over 6 meters of stratified deposits extending from the Early Historic frontier era back to Paleoindian times. Other research sites include stone circle (tipi ring) sites, prehistoric butte‑top defensive sites, rock shelters, bison kill sites, Early Historic homesteads and an 1880's cavalry training base. HPA facilities include a large field lab/museum complex, a dining hall, Field School Session 1 (June 13-22) will emphasize training in site survey techniques at the Pine Bluffs stone circle landscape, where 2500 tipi rings have been discovered and studied. The goal in 2006 is to continue survey of this a few remaining unsurveyed zones in this High Plains scarp woodland, and selective site mapping and testing procedures also are scheduled. Field School Session 2 (June 27-July 6) will move to the NE Wyomng Black Hills at the Vore Buffalo Jump (48CK301), one of the largest and most intricately stratified kill sites in the world. It has been estimated that the butchered remains of 10,000 20,000 bison are encased in the 6 meter-deep deposits at the bottom of the large Vore Site sinkhole. A companion excavation project will take place at Crystal Cave (39LA504), located just across the Wyoming border near Spearfish, South Dakota. Crystal Cave is a dry cavern site containing exceptionally well preserved organic artifacts in association with stone tools and hearth features. This year s Field School will expand a small block excavation started in 2005. Field School Session 3 (July 11-20) is scheduled for continued excavation at the Vore Buffalo Jump, with a companion excavation at the Williams Spring Site (48CK624), a richly stratified hunting camp located in the pine-covered upper elevations of the Wyoming Black Hills. Three previous years of testing and excavating a large block excavation will culminate this year with several test units configured to better define the elusive Paleoindian component at the site.
