Program(s): Undergraduate Courses
This course entails four weeks of full-time, hands-on training in field archaeology in an excavation directed by a University of Chicago faculty member. Students will learn techniques of excavation and digital recording of the finds; attend evening lectures; and participate in weekend field trips. Academic requirements include the completion of assigned readings and a final written examination, in addition to the work on the site and in the lab. Students who are enrolled in this course will pay a Summer Session tuition fee in addition to the cost of participation in the dig. Students should contact Prof. David Schloen (dschloen@uchicago.edu) to enroll in the excavation. UChicago students are eligible to apply for a grant to fund their participation.
