Summer 1995 Archaeological Field Training Programs in Illinois and Iowa
Co-sponsored by:
Illinois Historic Preservation Agency
Iowa Archaeological Society
University of Illinois Department of Anthropology
University of Illinois Division of Extramural Programs
Field Prorgam Sites: LaSalle-Peru, Illinois & McKinney Oneota Village, Iowa.
Dates: June 12- August 2, 1995
Two eight week field training programs in archaeology will be held this
summer. One will be held in the area of the Kaskaskia Village State Park,
LaSalle-Peru, Illinois. The other site is at McKinney Oneota Village, Iowa.
The primary objectives of the field programs will be to provide University
of Illinois students with a well rounded introduction to methods, practices
and functions of field archaeological research within the context of major
research programs. The research goals that will be used to guide the
educational program will be to locate, identify and record the prehistoric
and early historic components at the sites focusing on recovering
information that will allow an accurate reconstruction of the subsistence
of the inhabitants with an emphasis on human-plant interactions.
At each location, students will be expected to engage with professionals in
survey, test excavations and excavation of larger units, and in collection,
washing, sorting and cataloging of artifacts recovered from the site. They
will learn the rudiments of mapping, recording stratigraphy, completion of
field forms, and related activities. Each student will keep a field
journal of their work and will present a paper at the end of the summer
summarizing their experience. In addition to research through excavation,
there will be lectures in the evening and formal discussions related to the
group's work.
Lodging is primitive with tent camping the norm: meals will be a communal
exercise with students participating in all aspects of the life of the
excavation camp. Additional information will be provided upon reciept of the
pre-enrollment form.
