Hello all (and apologies for cross posting),

The Department of Anthropology at the University of North Dakota invites 
students to attend its Archaeological Field School in June and July, 
2006.  The course is being offered in cooperation with the National Park 
Service.  Field school students will participate in excavations at the 
Elbee Site (32ME408), an earthlodge village located within the Knife 
River Indian Villages National Historic Site.  A geophysical survey of 
the site will be performed to identify subsurface features that will be 
targeted by our excavations.  Field school students will learn standard 
archeological field techniques, such as proper excavation methods, 
record keeping, site mapping via digital means (GPS, total station) and 
by paper, profiling and soil descriptions, photography, and so on.

The field school can be taken as a four or six week course.  Students 
will receive four or six semester hours of undergraduate credit in 
Anthropology 380, Field Techniques in Archaeology (one credit hour per 
week of participation).  The application deadline is April 15, 2006.  
Enrollment is limited so please apply early.

Thank you for your time, and please pass this on to your colleagues and 
students who might find this of interest.


Best regards,
Mike Jackson
