The Connecticut State Museum of Natural History, part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UConn, will conduct an Adult Archaeology Field School Monday, August 3 through Friday, August 7, 9 am to 3 pm. State Archaeologist Dr. Brian Jones will lead the field school, which will take place in a central Connecticut location.
Spend an entire week learning about archaeology at the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center’s Field School! This intensive field school will cover the cultural aspects of archaeology, as well as proper archaeological field techniques and data management. As a member of this program, you will have the opportunity to participate in a dig at an archaeological site as part of the official team of investigators under the Office of State Archaeology. Your findings will add important information to our understanding of Connecticut’s rich historic past!
