Join Archaeology Southwest and the University of Arizona this summer for the 2022 season of our Preservation Archaeology Field School in beautiful Cliff, New Mexico, May 24–July 5, 2022.
Our innovative Preservation Archaeology curriculum fosters critical consideration of how various communities value archaeology and history, and we explore diverse means of sharing research results with host communities
and the broader public. Field, laboratory, and experimental archaeology work is complemented by public outreach activities and field trips to archaeological and cultural sites that immerse students in the history and cultures of
the U.S. Southwest.
As an active participant in research, you will contribute to Archaeology Southwest’s long-term study of demographic change, migration, and community organization in the southern U.S. Southwest
in the late precontact period—the centuries just before Europeans arrived.
Undergraduate and graduate students will earn 7 credit hours while working at the 14th century Gila River Farm site in southwest New Mexico. Qualifying
students will receive financial support from the National Science Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates program.
Students from small colleges and historically underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
Visit archaeologysouthwest.org/field-school/ or email Dr. Karen Schollmeyer (karen@archaeologysouthwest.org) to learn more about the program, faculty, and amenities, and for application and funding information.
Applications are due March 4, 2022.
