1) 2018 Preservation Archeology Field School

Archaeology Southwest / U of Arizona's upcoming field school in southwest New Mexico. As

in previous years, undergraduates will receive a $3000 stipend from the National Science

Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program to support their attendance. They

are hoping to attract some students who might not normally be able to attend a field school in this

way. While down there we will assist in an archeological dig for four weeks (June 1, 2018 to June

29, 2018) and learn some basic information in lectures and laboratory techniques. Also while

attending this 6 credits will be counted to your school, as well as other opportunities in the

southwestern New Mexico area.

 Large knowledge in archeology

 Some previous work experience

 Knowledge of skeletal anatomy

 Basic chemistry laboratory technique

2) Juvenile and Adult Osteology Laboratory Research Workshop – Transylvania, Romania

2018

During the workshop, participants will have the chance to study the growth and development of

the human skeleton across various juvenile age cohorts, ranging from prenatal to preadult. In

addition to hands-on laboratory instruction, participants will also contribute to numerous seminar

discussions and hear lectures on topics related to the bioarchaeology of children, respectively:

growth and development, weaning and dietary stress, juvenile trauma and pathology, as well as

reconstruction and interpretation of infant mortality. Moreover, seminars and lectures will
introduce how novel technological applications (i.e., histology, CT imaging) have been utilized

by bio-archaeologists who study juvenile remains. It will take 4 weeks (mandatory, July 3 to July

28)

 Knowledge in skeletal anthropology

 Ability to identify bone

 Minor archeology skills

 Has taken Bio-archeology and Human Osteology

3) Excavation and Exploration of the Roman Frontier - Transylvania Field School 2018

The project integrates Classical excavation approaches with various exploratory field techniques,

ranging from STP (shovel test pits), geochemical soil analysis (phosphate spot testing), and

surface field collection coupled with topographical total station assisted mapping. We will be

looking at the transformation of the countryside in relation to the development of the Imperial

road river infrastructure, and the role of our “palatial villa” in the development of a "creole"

Roman landscape. Cost: US$ 1295 per session. It will take 4 weeks (mandatory, July 3 to July

28). In addition, you will also have the opportunity to have your name published in a scientific

paper. This session will take place from July 1 to July 21, and will involve new discovered lab

techniques.

 Large knowledge in archeology

 Some previous work experience

 Minor archeology skills
