ANT-205: Archaeology Field School

Course Description

This course will offer students the opportunity to participate in an ongoing excavation of the Bittner Farm, a 19th Century Euro-American farmstead in Monroe County, New York, on the campus of Monroe Community College. Students will broaden their understanding of anthropology, history, and science through training and practical experience in archaeology. Training and practical experience in a variety of archaeological field methods such as artifact analysis and record keeping will be provided. Students gain an understanding of basic techniques of survey, excavation, and post-excavation lab work. This will enhance concepts and practices acquired from previous coursework and be applicable to future courses, other archaeological fieldwork, or to their knowledge of local history. Course runs two weeks, six hours daily, Monday through Thursday, with a lunch break. Two class hours, two laboratory hours.
