between A.D. 900 and 1100. It is on the edge of the San Francisco volcanic
field and adjacent to Sunset Crater. Geological features include sink
holes, lava flows, blow holes, earth cracks, underground caverns, and
squeeze-ups.

The field school program is designed to fulfill most of the requirements for
the AAS Certification Program. Each day will start early with field work.
Afternoons will be devoted to completing paperwork. Lectures will occupy
evenings. Each student must bring a 35mm camera and a compass. Film will
be supplied. Individuals provide their own food, camping equipment, and
personal items. A primitive forest camp will be set up. The nearest town
