ANTHR 2220 Field Course in Iroquois Archaeology

Course description

(summer only) This course is only offered in the Summer Session.

This course offers hands-on training in archaeological field methods through survey and excavation at historic-period Iroquois sites in the Finger Lakes region. The majority of class time is spent engaged in supervised fieldwork, supplemented by lectures introducing archaeological methods and Iroquois history and material culture. Excavations gather data on Iroquois residential architecture and domestic activities. Students master field procedures, record-keeping, and interpretation of field data; study Iroquois material culture; and write a short research paper (7-10 pages) that uses data generated by the project to evaluate a topic of anthropological interest. Most class time is spent off-campus; transportation is arranged by the instructor.
