Field School Description: This field school is a comprehensive training course (ARCH 201) in Eastern Woodlands archaeological field methods. The class meets from 8am - 4pm Tuesday - Friday all 11 weeks of the summer. 3 optional short courses are also offered in conjunction with the field class at no additional cost to the student. These classes will meet on Mondays throughout the summer. They include: Total station mapping, archaeological photography and how to get an archaeological job. It is the students option wether or not to take these extra classes unless they are a full time archaeology major at Hocking College in which case they are mandatory.

This field school is different than most others in many ways. 1. The experiences are all in SE Ohio as most of our graduates end up working in the Midwest. We have a study abroad program for an entire quarter in Peru (contact Joe Wakeman for details) to give the students the "exotic" experience. However, we want our field class, also the program capstone course, to be as meaningful as possible to realistic employment. 2. We have class for 11 weeks versus a more traditional 4 or 6 weeks. This allows us to work on many different projects and all phases of archaeology. 3. The focus of the field school is NOT to support faculty research, rather it is primarily focused on education. Research is important but it always comes secondary to goal of teaching sound and ethical archaeological methods. 4. We spend about 5 weeks focusing on land navigation, field mapping and Phase I survey methodologies. The remainder of the course is spent on excavation experiences.

Our college is situated on the Hocking River which has a long and rich archaeological history. We are fortunate to have numerous multicomponent prehistoric sites on our campus that we are in varying stages of investigations and several historic sites including a coal tipple, a remenant of a mining town and a canal lock. All of these sites are the setting of our summer class. Field school web site: www.hocking.edu/natural_resources/archaeology.htm

Field School Description:

The 2004 field school will be located in Deerfield , Massachusetts . In February 1704 a war party of 200 men, including French and Native peoples from a variety of Northeast communities, attacked the English settlement at Deerfield , Massachusetts . One hundred residents of Deerfield were taken captive by the war party, and were marched north to Canada . While some of those taken captive eventually returned to Deerfield , others remained with French or Native communities. Historians and archaeologists have yet to come to terms with the complex social and political contexts of this event, and the larger context of Native-European interactions of the Contact period. 2004 is the 300th anniversary of this raid, and it provides us with the opportunity to explore these complexities and contexts through the lens of archaeology.

The UMass Archaeological Field School will focus on at least one archaeological site in the Deerfield area, in order to learn more about pre- and post-Contact Native American lifeways and history. The five-week field school will include intensive training in New England Native history, archaeological survey techniques, excavation, laboratory methods, artifact analysis, and archaeological interpretation. Students also will learn about the geology of the region, which plays an integral part in archaeological interpretations of the past. The opportunity participate in our public education program will be a critical component of this field school.

Field School Description:

The 2004 Lakeside Laboratory archaeological field school will once again return to the Gillett Grove site in Clay County, Iowa to continue our on-going research project at this Oneota culture protohistoric village. The Gillett Grove site was first recorded in 1926 by Charles R. Keyes. Keyes, one of the founding figures of Iowa Archaeology, recorded hundreds of importuant sites across the State of Iowa . When Keyes visited the Gillett Grove site, he found archaeological materials spread across a 20-acre area, "two miles west and a little south of Gillett Grove...on a promontory of land on the north bank of the Little Sioux...12 low (house) mounds visible...large circular embankment/enclosure about 100 yards in diameter...on the highest central portion of the site." The site was formally entered in the Iowa Site File records and assigned the trinomial 13CY2 in 1960 by Bob Whiteside of the Sanford Museum . It has subsequently been visited by numerous Iowa archaeologists but only recently will include lectures on Iowa Archaeology and the culture history sequence of Western Iowa as well as day trips to the Sanford Museum in Cherokee, Iowa, the Dixon Oneota site, Jeffers Petroglyphs, and Pipestone National Monument.

Survey: Yes
Prehistoric: Yes
Historic: Yes
Periods: Range of periods and sites

Rural: Yes
Drive to site: Yes

Field School Description:

This four-week archaeological field school is designed to teach students
the fundamentals of archaeological survey and excavation. The school is
particularly appropriate for students contemplating careers in contract
archaeology/cultural resource management.

This year we will be testing CA-SBR-485, a site located adjacent to Deep
Creek, on the northern side of the San Bernardino Mountains. This site was
originally identified as a food processing area and has recently been
disturbed by nearby construction activity. There are artifacts on the
surface and numerous bedrock mortars. While the current hypothesis is that
this site was a seasonal habitation for plant collecting during the summer
for peoples coming up from the desert, this is something that will be
tested. The Forest Service would like us to do testing and survey of the
site and surrounding area to understand the nature, extent, and integrity
of cultural deposits and to evaluate site eligibility for inclusion in the
National Register of Historic Places.

During the course of this season, we will do survey of the site itself,
access roads, and the creek bed to find more processing areas and other
sites. The majority of the work will be excavation of test units at
CA-SBR-485 as part of the testing program. During the final week of the
field school, we will have a field lab set up so students can process the
artifacts we collected. During evening sessions experts in archaeological
methods and material culture from SRI offices in California and Arizona,
as well as others from local universities, will teach students about such
topics as survey methods, mapping, historical archaeology, lithics,
ethnobotany, and rock art.

Academic Credit: Yes
Number of Credits: 5 quarter units (undergraduate, upper division)
Tuition: $825
Institution offering credit: California State University San Bernardino

Room and Board Information: Students will reside in a beautiful reserved campground in or adjacent to the San Bernardino National Forest at an elevation of about 6000 feet. The school runs from Monday to Friday each week; students are free at weekends, though they can choose to stay in the campground. Students must provide their own tents, sleeping bags, etc. Meals (including plates, cutlery, etc), prepared by a camp cook, will be provided. Solar-heated showers will also be provided.

Room and board cost: $650 for the entire field school, including all meals and local transport

Field School Description:

The University of Utah 's summer program in archaeological field methods will be held at Range Creek Canyon . Sponsored by the Department of Anthropology and the Utah Museum of Natural History, this eight-week field course is designed to teach basic archaeological field methods. Under the direction of Duncan Metcalfe (Associate Professor of Anthropology), participants will receive training in a variety of field techniques including survey, mapping, soil identification, and excavation. No previous experience is necessary, but some exposure to basic archaeological and anthropological concepts is recommended.

Admission to the field school is limited to 18 students. Admission is by application only. Priority for admission will be given to current University of Utah students and those pursuing a professional career in archaeology or a related discipline. Students will earn 2 to 8 semester credits upon successful completion of the field school (Anthr. 5712). Use the table below to figure exact tuition costs. There will be no additional or special fee this season; room and board will be provided free of charge. The University of Utah 's summer program in archaeological field methods will be held at Range Creek Canyon . Range Creek is a tributary of the Green River on the West Tavaputs Plateau in east-central Utah .

Range Creek Canyon is a drainage in the West Tavaputs Plateau in central Utah . Extremely remote due to the rugged character of this region, Range Creek is bordered by Nine-Mile Canyon to the north, the Book Cliffs to the east and south, and the Desolation and Grey Canyons of the Green River to the east. Range Creek heads at 10,000 feet in elevation and descends rapidly until it merges with the Green River 30 miles to the south at an elevation of about 4,000 feet The canyon itself is extremely rugged, consisting basically of a narrow, winding canyon floor at the base of two enormous canyon walls that tower nearly 3,000 feet overhead. The dozen or so named side-canyons that open into Range Creek, as well as the many unnamed ones, provide even the casual visitor with breathtaking vistas.

A large section of the canyon, and access to an even larger piece of the canyon and neighboring areas, was privately owned until 2002 when ownership was transferred to the Bureau of Land Management. Because of the long and vigilant efforts of the previous landowner, the archaeological sites in the area are in excellent condition and testify to a comparatively intensive Fremont occupation. In a single week last summer, 73 sites were located and recorded.

Simply stated, Range Creek Canyon shares many similarities with world-famous Nine-Mile Canyon , but without the 100 years of overt vandalism, visitor wear and tear, and the impacts of intensive ranching. We are unaware of another region in the state of Utah that has the sheer number and density of essentially untouched archaeological sites in fact, the archaeology of Range Creek Canyon may be unique in the 21st-century United States .
See field school webpage for full details!

Academic Credit: Yes

Number of Credits: 2-8 credits

Tuition: 2 credit hours $578.90-8 credits $1,153.10

Institution offering credit: University of Utah

Room and Board Information: Expect comfortable but relatively primitive living conditions. Students are expected to provide their own camping equipment (personal tents, sleeping bags and pads, etc.). Meals during the ten-day work sessions will be prepared by a professional cook and an assistant. Water, toilets, and field equipment will be provided by the field program. All students will be expected to assist in the daily camp chores required to keep a field camp running smoothly.

We will camp in the ranch complex. Due to the efforts of the diligent US telecommunications industry, cellular phones now sometimes work at the Refuge and, when they don't, the Refuge has a microwave telecommunications link for emergencies. Cellular phones do not work in Range Creek Canyon , although in emergencies we hope to have outside communication through the grid of Bureau of Land Management repeaters. For safety reasons, students are discouraged from bringing personal vehicles to the field.

The course will consist of four 10-day work sessions separated by 4-day breaks. One or two vehicles will return to Salt Lake City at the beginning of each break; students have the option of staying in camp or going to Salt Lake City . Students choosing to remain in camp will be responsible for their own food and general camp management during the breaks. On the Saturday afternoon in the middle of each session at Range Creek, students will have the option of going to the town of Price to wash clothes and purchase personal items.

The weather in Utah 's Colorado Plateau is unpredictable and can change dramatically without notice. In general, expect hot days and cool nights, and dry weather punctuated by afternoon thunderstorms. This field season is sufficiently late that insects should not be a major problem, but students should be alert for rattlesnakes and black bears. The major problems are likely to be sunburn, dehydration and sore muscles. Keep in mind that this is a field school working out of field camps: storms can blow down tents, flood sites and camps; vehicles may break down or get stuck; and medical facilities are often distant. Much of the success or failure of a field season is a function of everyone cheerfully pitching in to overcome the adversities that are guaranteed to arise.

Room and board cost: Included in tuition.

Field School Description:

The Cox Ranch Community Research Project is exploring the nature of community organization during the Chacoan era (A.D. 1000-1150), with work at one of the southernmost settlements linked to the Chacoan regional system. Washington State University researchers will be conducting archaeological field work with field school students in the summers of 2003-2005. The program emphasizes linkages between field strategies and research interests, and is designed to provide a thorough introduction to archaeological field methods and Southwestern prehistory. The field school provides training in excavation, survey, and artifact identification methods. Excursions to archaeological and cultural sites in the region supplement the experience, providing a larger context for the project and Southwestern archaeological research.

The project is exploring the nature of community organization during the florescence of Chaco Canyon and the Chacoan regional system, a period in which there were widespread connections between settlements throughout much of the Four Corners area. Project research centers on Cox Ranch Pueblo, a complex consisting of a 50+ room Chaco style great house surrounded by 18 smaller residences. Excavations are designed to recover artifacts that will permit us to determine if the residences were contemporaneous, to reconstruct the types of activities associated with each, and to see how they relate to the focal buildings at the site. Students will collect representative artifact samples from residential and great house trash areas, and we will continue our testing of the great house, it's plaza, and a potential great kiva. Detailed mapping of residential structures will be conducted to better understand the growth of the site and its total population. Survey in 2002 and 2003 documented portions of a dispersed community.

Field School Description:

Southern Methodist University announces its 2004 Summer Field Program in Archaeology. This summer's course will involve participants in six weeks of intensive archaeological field experience in TWO areas of the Rio Grande region of New Mexico . The first area is west of Albuquerque along the Rio Puerco, and the second is outside of Taos , New Mexico . The primary focus at both locations will be on village formation and migration dynamics associated with ancestral Pueblo communities in these areas. With professional guidance, students participate in research demanding a high level of responsibility in observing, recovering and analyzing archaeological resources. Students play a central role in the collection of archaeological data during the field program, thereby making a major and lasting contribution to our understanding of the ancestral Pueblo peoples of New Mexico .
The philosophy of the field school is that each student will receive training in a wide range of excavation and survey skills, as well as become responsible for the basic analysis and interpretation of the archaeological data recovered during the fieldwork. Each student is involved in the full spectrum of field methods, including archaeological survey, site excavation techniques, sampling strategies, data recording (including mapping and photography), laboratory processing and materials analysis, as well as interpretation and report preparation.

Students will participate in the field school as members of an ongoing research program. After meeting at SMU's Fort Burgwin Campus near Taos , the field school will move to its field camp near Albuquerque for research/excavation at Chaves-Hummingbird Pueblo. This 13th-15th century ancestral Pueblo settlement has yielded evidence of migrant populations integrating into an extant community during the early 14th century. Research will focus on questions of how to assess evidence of population migration, as well as how archaeologists approach cultural affiliation ties between this settlement and modern Pueblo communities. The first part of the research program will focus on excavation and laboratory analysis skills. During the field program we will be collaborating with cultural resource advisory teams from four pueblo communities (Hopi, Zuni, Laguna, and Acoma) to better understand the ancestry of Chaves-Hummingbird Pueblo from a number of complementary perspectives (oral historical, archaeological, ethnograph

The second half of the field program will take you to our Fort Burgwin campus outside of Taos. There the research focus will turn to survey, mapping, and some limited test excavation experience. Participants will take day trips to Taos and Picuris Pueblos, as well as local archaeological sites. Evening lectures on Southwestern prehistory and archaeological methods will be given by Michael Adler, Director of the Field School , Jay Theuer, Assistant Director, Susan Bruning, Assistant Director, and guest lecturers.

Students may earn either six or nine semester hours of credit for this course.

FACILITIES
Participants will reside part-time at Chaves-Hummingbird Pueblo, located on a private ranch 22 miles west of Albuquerque . We have a field laboratory facility where we do lab work and eat meals. Participants will sleep in their own tents during this first part of the field program. The second half of the field program will be at Fort Burgwin , an interdisciplinary research and teaching facility located at an elevation of 7,500 feet in a mountain valley ten miles south of Taos , New Mexico . The campus covers 300 acres, surrounded by Carson National Forest , and participants will stay in residential dormitories, and eat meals in the campus cafeteria. Fort Burgwin also has classrooms, archaeology lab, laundry and a computer laboratory.

ADMISSION TO PROGRAM
The field course is open to both graduate and undergraduate students who are in good standing with their universities. Academic credit is awarded on a semester-hour basis and is transferable to other institutions. All students not attending Southern Methodist University must apply for admission as Summer-Only students, but all applicants compete for field school admittance on an equal basis. Students may enroll for six credit hours, but should first check with their advisors. We draw participants from universities across the nation, and encourage all to apply for admission.

Project Directors: Dr. William M. Graves, Department of Anthropology, University of Iowa
Dr. Michael V. Wilcox, Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology, Stanford University

Field School Description:

The Department of Anthropology at The University of Iowa is pleased to announce the 2004 University of Iowa Archaeological Field School, directed by Professor William Graves. The Field School will be located in the Salinas district of central New Mexico , located east of the Rio Grande and southeast of Albuquerque . The major field site, Abó Pueblo, is located 10 miles west of the town of Mountainair . Abó Pueblo is part of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument .

Undergraduate and graduate students will receive training in archaeological field methods, focusing particularly on excavation and mapping. Students will also learn artifact recording and analyses while actively participating in a long-term research study of the late prehispanic and early colonial periods in the Salinas district.

Along with essential methodological skills, the Field School emphasizes the construction of research strategies that are effective in addressing questions of broad anthropological relevance. Fieldwork will be integrated with lectures on archaeological methodology and the prehispanic and early colonial periods of the Pueblo Southwest as well as occasional weekend field trips to archaeological sites in the area.

The Field School will be conducted in partnership with the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument . A proportion of the students time and effort will be spent working on projects of interest to the Monument staff, including ruins stabilization, site mitigation work, curation, and interpretive work. Thus, the Field School will provide an excellent introduction to cultural resource management activities and archaeology within a governmental agency. Since, the majority of job opportunities in archaeology in North America are within the field of cultural resource management, this experience will be of particular value to students of the program.

The Field School enrolls students with a variety of backgrounds, and we expect the majority of students will be contemplating a career in anthropology or archaeology. Applications from students from historically underrepresented groups in anthropology are strongly encouraged. Graduate students will conduct a small, original research project based on data recovered from the summer s work.

The Field School project is part of a multi-year research program investigating the late prehispanic (A.D. 1300 to 1598) and early colonial period (A.D. 1598 to the 1670s) Puebloan occupation of the Salinas district. In particular, we will focus on investigations at Abó Pueblo. Abó is one of nine large, late prehispanic and early colonial period pueblo villages of the Salinas district and was occupied from A.D. 1300 to 1675.

The ruins of a seventeenth century Franciscan mission, San Gregorio, are located at the site. The pueblo is situated in Abó Pass , the major east-west passageway connecting the Salinas district pueblos with the rest of the Pueblo world. Through a program of excavation and mapping, the Field School aims at reconstructing the political-economic history of the Pueblo of Abó, and understanding this village s relationships with the rest of the Salinas district and the larger Pueblo world of which it was a part. From previous research on other Pueblo village sites in the district, and given the strategic location of Abó within Abó Pass , it appears likely that Abó would have held a position of prominence in the larger Salinas district. Such prominence may have been due in large part to the involvement in economic activities by the inhabitants of Abó, such as the procurement of items through long-distance exchange and the production and distribution of socially valuable decorated pottery. Both activities would have l

The project will offer an unparalleled look into the social and political-economic history of a particular settlement and region of the ancient Pueblo world. In doing so, the research will contribute significantly to our understanding of sociopolitical developments in the ancient Pueblo Southwest as well as to our understanding of such processes in small-scale, non-state societies more generally.

The Field School is directed by Dr. William Graves, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at The University of Iowa. He will be assisted by three experienced graduate student field crew chiefs. We anticipate a student-to-staff ratio of approximately 4:1, ensuring that students will receive a great deal of individual attention and training.

The Field School is a joint project between Dr. Graves at The University of Iowa and Dr. Michael Wilcox of Stanford University . Dr. Wilcox and several Stanford students will join us for the duration of the field season.

Field School Description:

We will be conducting excavation at the Crescent Bay Hunt Club, a 700-800 year old Oneota village site along Lake Koshkonong , near Fort Atkinson , Wisconsin .

The Crescent Bay Hunt Club site has been the subject of intensive research at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee since 1998. Previous work by researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison discovered the remains of a house, hearths, and habitation debris. Our research has expanded to other areas of the site. We have determined that the site was an agricultural village, at least part of which was surrounded by a palisade, occupied from A.D. 1200-1350. The people grew, processed, and ate corn and wild-rice, as well as many other wild plants and animals particularly fish. The remains of wild-rice threshing pits, corn storage pits, hearths, structures and large amounts of stone tools, ceramics, and copper tools all have provided new information on this interesting time period in Wisconsin s past.

We will concentrate on excavations within the village, but we will also teach students the basics of archaeological survey, including pedestrian survey and shovel testing. Basic laboratory skills such as cleaning, sorting, and artifact identification will also be an integral part of the experience.

Who: Open to any student who has successfully completed at least one archaeology course, and by consent of the instructor.
What: 156-567-6 Fieldwork in Archaeology Six Credit Hours. Students may opt for an additional 3 credits Independent Study with instructor approval.
When: June 1-July 10, 2004. Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm.

Field School Description:

The 2004 University of Missouri - St. Louis archaeological field school will conduct an archaeological survey and testing to find the location of Sibley s Fort, a War of 1812 American trading post in Saline County , Missouri , and possibly the associated Osage Indian villages nearby. Excavations will focus on the bluff top north of Arrow Rock, Missouri where a 2003 preliminary surface collection and metal dector survey identified a concentration of metal. This bluff top site is currently in pasture and utilized by cattle and seasonal hunters, but has previously been farmed.

This survey and testing will be conducted over three weeks in June of 2004 and will include a systematic metal detecting and posthole testing survey as well as unit excavations. A metal detecting survey will be conducted over the project area identifying, mapping, and collecting metallic objects. Since this site was occupied for less than a year, this survey methodology will help in defining a possibly very thin or light archaeological site. The second survey will include a 20 gridded posthole testing across the project area. A posthole digger will be utilized instead of a shovel because it will provide a standard hole size. Each posthole test will be excavated in half-foot levels until sterile soil is encountered. Each level will be bagged and screened separately using a quarter inch screen. Data collected from both survey techniques will be combined and analyzed using a SURFER mapping program to determine the site location and boundaries. Information collected from these surveys will also be util

Dr. Timothy Baumann, an Assistant Professor in Anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, will serve as the principal investigator of this project. The Missouri Division of State Parks will provide housing and laboratory space at the Arrow Rock State Historic Site during the field component and staff from the Arrow Rock State Historic Site and the Van Meter Park/Historic Site will also assist in the fieldwork and archival research.

Information compiled from this survey will result in a report that summarizes the history of Sibley s Fort and the broad social and political relationships between historic Native Americans, African-Americans, and European-Americans in Missouri after the Louisiana Purchase and through the War of 1812. Information compiled from this survey will assist the Arrow Rock State Historic Site and the Friends of Arrow Rock to develop more diverse and detailed educational programs through exhibits, site tours, and K-12 workshops. Locating Sibley s Fort will also promote the long-term preservation and protection of this site by expanding Arrow Rock s National Register of Historic Places district boundary to include this site and possibly the acquisition of this site by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

Community support for the Search for Sibley s Fort is immeasurable. This project will continue the 80+ year tradition in Arrow Rock, Missouri to protect and preserve Missouri s cultural resources. Arrow Rock was and continues to be a pioneer in the preservation of Missouri s heritage. In 1923, the first state owned historic building to be restored and opened to the public for tourism was Arrow Rock s Huston Tavern, a general store, tavern, and hotel established in 1834. In the 1930s, the Work Projects Administration helped to create the Arrow Rock State Historic Site, a state park encompassing today over 100 acres and including the Huston Tavern, the home of George Caleb Bingham and other historic buildings, a campsite, hiking trails, and a 1991 interpretive center dedicated to central Missouri s history. In 1959, a non-profit group called The Friends of Arrow Rock, Inc. was organized to work with the Arrow Rock State Historic Site to preserve and interpret the structures and history of Arrow Rock.

Field School Description:

New Jersey 's longest running historical archaeology project, the Feltville Archaeology Project will complete its seven year history this year by investigating the 19th century summer residence of the founder of this industrial utopian community, the David Felt House. Located and tested during the 2003 field school, this cellar hole and its surrounding gardens are, today, part of the "Deserted Village of Feltville / Glenside Park " the historical focus of Union County 's Watchung Reservation, and a National Register District. The village was converted from an 18th century frontier farming community by Felt in 1845. As an early example of a planned industrial town, a predecessor to modern suburban neighborhoods, Feltville incorporated various solutions to the problems and complaints of the working class, including freedom of religion, free education, sanitary living conditions and adequate housing. After Felt sold the village in 1860, it was abandoned for a while then converted into

The Feltville Archaeology Project gives students the most thorough and wide-ranging introduction to field techniques we are aware of, while getting them direvctly involved in project planning, problem solving, and professional quality academic and CRM oriented field archaeology.

------------------------------------------------------------------ George Washington's Fredericksburg Foundation announces a field school in historical archaeology during the summer of 2004.

Students will excavate at Ferry Farm, a National Historic Landmark that is rich in history. George Washington grew to manhood here, moving to the plantation at age 6 in 1738, and leaving in 1752. Legend claims that the cherry tree story ("I cannot tell a lie") and his powerful toss of a "silver dollar" across the Rappahannock took place at Ferry Farm. During the Civil War Union troops camped here during the Battle of Fredericksburg. We will continue the large-scale excavation of Washington 's boyhood home this summer.

The field school allows participants to gain proficiency in excavation, recording, and field interpretation, and will include instruction in the practice and theory of historical archaeology. University of South Florida field school (May 31 - July 2) This five-week long field school carries from three to six hours of undergraduate credit and graduate credit. Housing at Mary Washington College dormitories is available for an additional fee.

Enrollment is limited and the application deadline is May 1, 2004. Interested parties should contact Dr. Philip Levy at (813)974-7642, email: plevy@chuma1.cas.usf.edu
