Workshops

Archaeology Field Experience

This multi-day event includes both field and lab experiences and is a well rounded opportunity for those who want to learn about the process of archaeology. Explore what it is like to participate in an actual archaeological excavation, by working alongside professional archaeologists in the field. Participate in small-scale excavations (test units) and survey work. Lab work may include washing ceramics, stone tools, and other remains, and sorting them into basic categories. An experimental archaeology component of the event may explore making stone tools and pottery. Optional lab hours and local field trips will be available after regular field school hours. No previous experience is necessary. The location of this year’s field school is yet to be determined.

This experience is open to high school students through adults.  Fee includes a one year MVAC membership.  Supervised dorm facilities are available for high school students at an additional cost of $155 for 3 days.  Cancellation prior to June 30, 2008 will receive a full refund minus a $60 cancellation fee.  No refunds for cancellations after June 30, 2008.
