Hi All,

We're running a new field school out of the University
of Connecticut this year up in Crown Point New York. 
The site is an abandoned 19th century iron-ore mining
town. See below for more information:

Residential Field School in Historical Archaeology –
June 30 – July 25, 2008
6 credits

This 4 week intensive course introduces students to
the fundamentals of historical archaeology, including
archeological survey, excavation and historical
research.  We will be excavating at Hammondville,
Crown Point, NY, a 19th century mining “Ghost Town”
located in the eastern Adirondack region.  The course
is scheduled for Monday – Friday, 8am – 4pm, so
students’ weekends are free. Accommodations at a NYS
camp ground will be arranged and food will be
provided.  Students are responsible for
transportation, basic camping equipment, the cost of
room and board ($100.00/wk) and a $50.00 lab fee. 
Completing the field school provides students with the
basic qualifications for a job as a field technician
in contract archaeology.
