Students interested in pursuing a career in archaeology are urged to register for the Archaeological Field School (ANTH 490). The purpose of the field school is to train students in the basic techniques and methods of archaeological survey, excavation and analysis, and usually involves six weeks in a field camp setting. For archaeology students the school is a necessary part of the curriculum. Students are encouraged to attend early in their academic careers as this may provide additional field work opportunities. Notably, most federal agencies now require a field school as appropriate training for government service.
