Archaeological Field School
Archaeological field school is available to students every summer.
Archaeological Field Techniques (ANTH 3300) is a four-week intensive field program based in the Intermountain West, where students gain training in archaeological survey, excavation, artifact identification, site mapping, photography, and soil analysis.
Under the direction of experienced faculty, participants will excavate prehistoric and historic sites in the region and contribute to original research. Students earn 6 credits while learning to apply archaeological methods in real-world fieldwork.
