Hey all!

I organized a symposium for the 2023 SHAs focused on student contributions to archaeological field schools. Please pass this along to any students you know who have participated in a historical-leaning archaeology field school over the past few years. I know Lisbon will be a bit of a stretch for a lot of us, not just undergraduae students, but I hope this will give them a dedicated space to showcase their contributions. Title and abstract is below. Thanks for passing it around!


"I Know What You Did Last Summer: Student Contributions at Field Schools: Every year, field schools train students in archaeological methods and theories to prepare them for careers in the field. Yet, students are not empty vessels into which professionals pour their knowledge in exchange for their labor. Instead, students are equal partners in archaeological explorations of the past who bring expertise and perspectives of their own. This session invites recent field school participants to share their important roles at their field schools. Rather than a show-and-tell of things students did and learned, papers in this session will address the ways students contributed to larger project goals through lab analysis, artifact research, documentation, technological knowledge, public archaeology/consultation/social media outreach, adjustments due to COVID, etc..."
