Hello Everyone,

Please share the following information regarding our historical archaeology
field school run by St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM) with any
interested undergrads. The program is a mix of archaeological field, lab
and material analysis training.

This program is a collaboration between St. Mary’s College of Maryland
(SMCM) and the Maryland Archeological Conservation Lab (MAC Lab) at Jefferson
Patterson Park and Museum
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jefpat.maryland.gov/Pages/mac-lab/mac-lab.aspx__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!f7teix2WlUp735JV1VGXSN63lffrA_GB6Ro28FCLOYr_F2AtZ6T2dXPdIlzeebRRDykVwwDnl5UQ_e4UwA$ >. Our goal is to
provide undergraduates experiences in archaeology including the latest
scientific and methodological approaches to fieldwork, artifact curation,
materials analysis, curatorial interpretation and public engagement with
scholarly content.

This REU builds upon St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s 25 years as the
state’s Public Honors College. This distinction includes a tradition of
student driven research and collaboration with faculty in line with the
mission of the NSF-REU program. Students will receive comprehensive
training in areas of archaeological and museum practice frequently
unavailable to undergraduates. By utilizing the latest technology (e.g.,
drone use and photogrammetry), field methods, and laboratory procedures,
participants will gain experience in all stages of archaeological
collections generation (i.e. excavation), care (conservation and
management), and analysis (materials characterization and cataloging).

Rising sophomores and juniors as well as students currently enrolled in
community colleges are strongly encouraged to apply.
