ANTH 381 - Field Methods in Archaeology

This course - taught in tandem with ANTH 387 - introduces students to contemporary archaeological fieldwork through participation in research on a Late Woodland - Contact Period Monacan village site, Monasukapanough, in Albemarle County.  The class will consist primarily of archaeological fieldwork including excavation, site interpretation, artifact classification and cataloging, drafting and computer-aided mapping.  To place this research in a broader context we will also visit the Monacan Ancestral Museum and work with the Monacan people to see first hand how they interpret their own history.
