The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History at UConn will conduct an Archaeology Field School for Educators Monday, July 18 through Friday, July 22, 9 am to 3 pm. State Archaeologist Dr. Brian Jones will lead the field school, which will take place in Windsor, CT.
Educators can spend a week learning about archaeology at the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center’s Field School for Teachers. This field school is designed to give educators who provide archaeological opportunities for students a deeper understanding of the ethical aspects of archaeology, as well as proper archaeological field techniques, data management, and reporting.
Participants will experience an authentic archaeological investigation, working with primary sources at a historic site. They will also learn about the role of the Connecticut Office of State Archaeology and how it can be an important resource in developing archeological lessons and activities for students. Space is limited. To request a registration form please contact David Colberg at david.colberg@uconn.edu or 860.486.5690.
