National Park Service’s 2015 Archaeological Prospection Workshop
*The National Park Service’s 2015 workshop on
archaeological prospection techniques entitled Current
Archaeological Prospection Advances for Non-Destructive Investigations in
the 21st Century *will be held May 25-29, 2015, at the Tobias-Thompson
Complex sites in Rice County, Kansas. Lodging will be at the Lyons Inn and
the Celebration Center in Lyons, Kansas. The lectures will be at the
Community Room at the Lyons State Bank in Lyons, Kansas. The field
exercises will take place at the Tobias-Thompson Complex sites in Rice
County, Kansas. Eight sites showcase the Little River Focus of the Great
Bend Aspect dating from 1500-1700 AD. The sites have been related to the
historic Wichita and may have been among the villages visited by Coronado
in Quivira in 1542. Co-sponsors for the workshop include the National Park
Service’s Midwest Archeological Center and the National Center for
Preservation Technology and Training, the Department of Anthropology at
Wichita State University, and the Archaeological Division of the Kansas
State Historical Society. This will be the twenty-fifth year of the
workshop dedicated to the use of geophysical, aerial photography, and other
remote sensing methods as they apply to the identification, evaluation,
conservation, and protection of archaeological resources across this
Nation. The workshop will present lectures on the theory of operation,
methodology, processing, and interpretation with on-hands use of the
equipment in the field. There is a registration charge of $475.00.
Application forms are available on the Midwest Archeological Center’s web
page at <http://www.nps.gov/mwac/>. Payment may be made by credit card
