Join Michigan Tech’s 2005 Field School in Historical and Industrial
Archaeology. From May 9 through June 23, explore the remains of the West Point Foundry, one of America's earliest iron foundries.
The site is in Cold Spring, New York, located in the Hudson River Valley, just north of New York City. Michigan Tech is continuing a long-term research project on this famous industrial site. The West Point Foundry Preserve, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned by Scenic Hudson Land Trust. Scenic Hudson has protected the site and is working to develop and interpret it as a public resource.
This summer will be Michigan Tech’s fourth field season at the Foundry, and will include mapping and excavations in both industrial and domestic areas of the site. The industrial component of the field school will focus on excavating a portion of the Foundry blast furnace, which operated from ca. 1817 through ca. 1844. The domestic component will investigate a
mid-19th century manager’s house and several unskilled workers’ dwellings on the Foundry property.
The field school will offer a unique opportunity for students to learn the methods of both historical and industrial archaeology on the 87 acre site. Students will gain experience in site mapping, including total station, GPS, and GIS. While in addition to excavation, students will engage in artifact classification, analysis, conservation, and photography. This field school is designed for students in Historical and Industrial Archaeology, Anthropology, American Studies, History, Military History,
Material Culture, and Museum Studies.
Program participants will live at a local summer camp. The project will pay for room costs, but participants will be responsible for their own food. Participants have the option of earning between 2 and 8 credits. Tuition is $235 per undergraduate credit for Michigan residents, $605 per undergraduate credit for non-Michigan residents. Tuition for graduate credit is $432 per credit, regardless of residency.

Shipwreck Central is an excellent site about exploring shipwrecks and their preservation. It is also home to the Sea Hunters with Clive Cussler (author of many novels, and finder of the Hunley) and James Delgado (archaeologist and author). There is a section for teachers, video of underwater dives, and an ongoing blog. There are plans for a membership site as well.

The Department of Anthropology at the University of North Dakota invites
students to attend its Archaeological Field School in June and July,
2005. The course is being offered in cooperation with the North Dakota
Army National Guard. Field school students will participate in test
excavations at multiple prehistoric sites in eastern and northwestern
North Dakota. Campsite and stone feature sites will be investigated.
Field school students will learn standard archeological field
techniques, such as proper excavation methods, record keeping, site
mapping via digital means (GPS, total station) and by paper, profiling
and soil descriptions, photography, and so on.
This year, we are offering archaeological field school participation as
part of a new student intern program. Internships will be offered to
students accepted into the class over a period of six weeks from June 6
to July 15, 2005. Students will receive up to six semester hours of
undergraduate credit in Anthropology 380, Field Techniques in
Archaeology. One hour of class credit will be earned for each week of
participation, with minimum participation of two weeks required. Student
interns will be paid at a rate of $5.15 per hour for each hour of
participation, up to a maximum of 40 hours per week. Only a limited
number of student interns can be accommodated under this program.
Preference will be given to those students who can attend the full
six-week session. Application deadline is April 15, 2004.
