Decker wrote that he was "...looking for info on any 6-credit field schools being offered this summer, preferrably by a New York State institution, but anything inexpensive will be sufficient." I have been bounced from the address given ([log in to unmask]) so I beg forgiveness from others on the list if this is a bother (although maybe others will have something to add?). Brian M. Decker: In your pursuit of summer field schools in archeology have you checked out the listing published by the Archaeological Institute of America titled Archaeological Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin(AIA-FOB) [ http://www.he.net/~archaeol/index.html ]? Also have you checked out the Newsletter of the Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA)? The March issue contains a number of Historical Archaeology Field Schools (for more info on SHA set your browser to http://www.azstarnet.com/~sha). There is also an incomplete listing of field opportunities at http://durendal.cit.cornell.edu/TestPit.html . The AIA FOB is much more complete but may not include listings submitted after publication cut-offs. As a response to similar inquiries and postings to the ARCH-L list, Mary Carrol of the NPS National Center for Preservation Tecnology and Training offered to start posting Field Schools on the NCPTT Web Site ( http://www.cr.nps.gov/ncptt ). I believe that this offer would be an incredible public service if we can suppot Mary in this endeavor. And now my personal plug-If you are interested specifically in historical archaeology and do decide to leave New York you might consider a field school offered this summer by the University of Nevada Reno which my office (BLM) is assisting with (This school is listed in the AIA FOB). For more information on any of these leads respond to me off the list please at the e-mail address above or by phone (702-289-1869). Good luck on your field school search and at least let me know where you end up going. Mark Henderson, USDI-BLM Ely, Nevada .
