The University of Washington Archaeological Field School will be
conducted for a third summer in Alaska's Kodiak Archipelago, 23 June -
4 August 2001. The course earns 12 undergraduate and 5 graduate credits.
Students live in a remote area of Alaska for 6 weeks, excavate a
7000-year-old stratified hunter-gatherer camp, and enjoy a beautiful
wilderness adventure. Students receive formal training in most
conventional survey, excavation, field recording, and field laboratory
methods (including both high and low-tech approaches to survey and
mapping). Applicants should be adventurous, good-natured, and
experienced in remote camping. A detailed description, photos, comments
from former students, and application forms are available online at:
http://www.anthro.washington.edu/Archy/fieldschool/fieldindex.html. or
by calling Field School Director, Dr. Ben Fitzhugh, 206/543-5240.
