The 2001 Summer Field School in Archaeology will introduce students to basic archaeological field methods and techniques through participation in field projects throughout Nebraska. With these skills (and additional coursework), you will be equipped to work as an archaeological technician for private firms and government agencies in Nebraska and elsewhere.

To participate, you must complete an application form obtainable from:

Department of Anthropology and Geography
126 Bessey Hall
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Lincoln, NE 68588-0368
(402) 472-2411

Once accepted into the field school, you will register for 9 (nine) credit hours and attend an organizational meeting to learn about scheduling, study locations, and equipment needs.
