2012 UC Davis Archaeological Field School
June 25th-August 3rd, 2012
Program
Field schools are an important and necessary part of a degree and/or career in archaeology, and a valuable addition to a resume. Offered during the first UC Davis summer session (June 25th-August 3rd), the UC Davis field school will provide students with a demanding, extensive, six week course of hands-on training in archaeological field techniques.
During the course, students will receive practical training in the following areas:
• data recording methods
• excavation and surveying methods
• identification of cultural materials
• mapping
• global positioning systems (GPS) and total data station (TDS)
In addition, we will supplement this training with informal lectures given by instructors and guest speakers on a variety of topics. Students will be enrolled through UC Davis in Anthropology (ANT) 181 for 9 summer session units.
