National Park Service’s 2012 Archaeological Prospection Workshop

The National Park Service’s 2012 workshop on archaeological prospection
techniques entitled Current Archaeological Prospection Advances for
Non-Destructive Investigations in the 21st Century will be held May 7-11,
2012, at the Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala, Nebraska.
Lodging will be at the Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala,
Nebraska.  The field exercises will take place at the site of Alkali
Station near Paxton, Nebraska.  Alkali Station was a major trail facility
used by travelers on the Oregon and California trails, the Pony Express,
the transcontinental telegraph, and the frontier army.  Co-sponsors for the
workshop include the National Park Service’s Midwest Archeological Center,
the Lute Family, and the University of Nebraska’s Cedar Point Biological

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
