Greetings,

Please circulate to any interested students. There are still places available with Monmouth University's field school in Caribbean Historical Archaeology. This year's field school will continue last year's work at the site of Fort Charles, the best preserved fort in Nevis. The fort was constructed in the 1600s and remained in use until at least the 1870s. Preliminary analysis of last year's materials suggests a unique history of European and Afro-Caribbean interaction during the site's 250+ year history.

Students will learn traditional and advanced surveying methods, how to conduct pedestrian surveys, standard archaeological excavation techniques, and how to identify, catalog, and analyze artifacts. There will be weekly lectures on Nevisian archaeology, history, and culture by project staff and experts.

Dates: May 24 - June 14, 2014
Costs: 3 hours credit (~$2500); $1000 room & board; round-trip airfare (~$600)
Undergraduate and graduate course credits available!
$200 deposit and application materials due by March 28th. Hurry, space is limited!
