Archaeology Field School Description
The 2010 University of Arkansas Summer Field School in archeology at Historic Washington State Park will take place in Summer I, from May 17 through June 11, 2010. During this intensive four-week course students will learn the basic techniques of archeological excavation while working at Historic Washington State Park near Hope, Arkansas. Historic Washington, Arkansas, is a lovely, peaceful tree-shaded town in and one of the most historic places in Arkansas. Established in 1824, the town of Washington today is one of America's premier historic villages with over 30 carefully restored historic structures including classic examples of Southern Greek Revival and Federal architecture, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and those of hand-hewn timber framing or brace-frame cottage construction. Historic Washington State Park is a National Historical Landmark, a National Register of Historic Places site, and has been the subject of archeological investigation since the 1980s.
To reach the Historic Washington State Park, take Exit #30 off I-30 at Hope, Arkansas and travel eight miles northwest on U.S. 278 to Washington, Arkansas
