Field Schools   Faculty in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change conduct field schools in a variety of locations. These field schools provide hands-on experience and unique learning opportunities for students. Past field schools have allowed participants to excavate Bronze Age villages in the Mediterranean, explore the Ethiopian discovery site of the famed hominid fossil “Lucy,” study the ancient cultures of the American Southwest, examine the paleoecology of the South African coast and train at the Kampsville site of bioarchaeology and paleopathology pioneer Jane Buikstra. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities to expand their academic prospects and learn from some of the most esteemed researchers in their fields.
