The UND Department of Anthropology invites students to attend its 6-week Archaeological Field School in May and June, 2009. The first part of the field school will involve survey and precision mapping work at the Elkhorn/Ebert Ranch in the western North Dakota Badlands, where Theodore Roosevelt had a cattle operation in the 1880s. The rest of the field school will consists of test excavations at prehistoric sites at Shadehill Reservoir, SD. Field school students will learn standard archeological field techniques, such as proper excavation methods, record keeping, site mapping via digital means (GPS, total station) and by paper, profiling and soil descriptions, photography, and so on.
Students will receive up to six semester hours of undergraduate credit in Anthropology 380, Field Techniques in Archeology (one credit hour per week of participation).
If funds are available, field school students will be paid minimum hourly wages as student interns while working on the field school. Employment after the field school is a distinct possibility for the successful graduate.
