Project Description:

CWU Field School in CRM Archaeology: June 18 – July 27, 2018

Students learn cultural resource management (CRM) and archaeological fieldwork in workshop/seminar setting and by participating in CRM projects in central Washington State. 

We teach using our 25-year history of case studies and program development at undergraduate and graduate levels. We involve students in a full range of tasks: planning, budgeting, GIS applications, survey, site mapping, geophysical prospecting, testing, evaluation, site recordation and artifact analysis. Our field sessions include transect survey, total station and GPS mapping, ground penetrating radar, and shovel probing. Our projects support community participation and interpretation, and serve transdisciplinary geoarchaeological and landscape studies. Our partners include federal, state and tribal cultural programs.

 

Period(s) of Occupation: Pacific Northwest Heritage (10,000-50 BP).
