Undergraduate and graduate students will receive training in:

• archaeological excavation
• survey
• artifact recording and analysis

Students will also engage in ongoing research concerning social and economic reorganization in southwest New Mexico in the 13th and 14th centuries. Along with essential technical skills, the program emphasizes the construction of research strategies that are effective in answering anthropological questions.

Field training is integrated with lectures and discussions concerning archaeological method and theory and the natural environment, prehistory and ethnography of the Southwest.

Students may conduct an original research project based on project data.
Field trips will provide regional context for the research, and visiting scholars
from ASU and other institutions will offer evening programs.
