2018 Field School in Southwest New Mexico (US)
kschollmeyer




Join Archaeology Southwest and the University of Arizona this
summer for the 2018 season of our Preservation Archaeology Field School!
Students will earn 7 hours of undergraduate or graduate credit through the
University of Arizona while investigating how ancient communities formed during
an era of migration and social change.
Our team will excavate at the
14th-century Gila River Farm site in beautiful southwest New Mexico. We will
also record sites on survey, analyze what we find in the lab, and learn to make
and use ancient tools. Field trips to archaeological sites, visits to
contemporary Native American communities, and public outreach events in our
project area emphasize communication with diverse audiences and reinforce the
principles of Preservation Archaeology as we focus on recovering maximum
information with limited impacts on the archaeological record. This field school is certified by the Register of Professional Archaeologists.
Funding is available for qualified
undergraduate students through the National Science Foundation’s Research
Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) program. Applications are due
March 5; for more information, see http://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/field-school/
or contact Dr. Karen Schollmeyer at karen@archaeologysouthwest.org.
