Any interest in me doing a special feature about your Field School on my website, Archaeological Digs? It would see great exposure as my site is visited by hundreds of students and volunteers every day. Click on the link in this text to see it or just do a search for "archaeological digs" on Google or just about any other search engine and it will come up number one in the results. Let me know by responding to this email if you are interested.

Summer Field School in Historical and Urban Archaeology
“Exploring the Lives and Material World of 18th-Century Merchants”
May 26–June 29, 2009 • Newport, Rhode Island
Salve Regina University and the University of Massachusetts Boston are
pleased to offer a collaborative archaeological field school in Newport, Rhode
Island. The research theme of the project is “Interpreting the Lives of
Merchants in Eighteenth-Century Newport,” with a focus on the role of
mercantile capital in shaping the urban landscape and the city’s social
structures of race, class, and gender during the colonial period. Through daily
archaeological fieldwork and laboratory analysis students will learn the
process
of excavation, field recording, sample collection, and basic artifact analysis
in
historical archaeology. The course includes an explicit focus on urban
environmental archaeology, with specialized sampling for recovery of plant,
animal, insect and parasite remains to study health, diet, and the changing
urban landscape.
