Do you like to solve mysteries by uncovering evidence? Do you like getting your hands dirty? Then spend this week with UConn archaeologists exploring the world of field archaeology. You will learn about the science of archaeology and how to use the tools and methods of genuine archaeologists. You will be part of a real archaeological field crew, doing hands-on fieldwork and laboratory research at an authentic, ongoing archaeological dig. We have been opening new areas of our on campus dig site each year, and every session we uncover something new! Call KAST at (860)486-9219 or visit www.kast.uconn.edu for registration information.
