Archaeological Field Methods introduces the theory and methodology of fieldwork to Monroe County Community College students. Students spend the majority of this class out-of-doors engaging in hands-on activity while working on actual archaeological sites. As such, students experience the excitement and hard work that goes into recovering artifacts and other archaeological material. Students will learn how archaeologists plan and conduct research, learn proper excavation and recording methods, and learn how to identify artifacts. As importantly, you will recognize the social aspects of archaeology, including the value of individual work and self-discipline as well as the value of teamwork. When finished with the class, students will have a basic yet thorough knowledge of archaeological field work techniques and will be prepared for more advanced study.
