Historical Archaeology Field School

A Historical Archaeology Field School is a hands-on educational program where students and researchers excavate and study sites tied to recent history, such as old buildings, neighborhoods, or workplaces. By carefully uncovering artifacts and features, they learn about past human activities, culture, and daily life. This process helps preserve cultural heritage and provides insights into historical communities. Participants gain practical experience in excavation techniques, documentation, and analysis, contributing to understanding historical events and societies. The field school often combines outdoor work with classroom instruction, fostering a deeper connection to local history and archaeological methods.
