The Preservation Archaeology Field School in southwestern New Mexico will offer students an opportunity to learn excavation, survey, and analysis methods in a beautiful, remote, and archaeologically rich part of the American Southwest. The program will integrate research, education and preservation to investigate compelling questions about the past.

This six-week program will provide undergraduate students an opportunity to test excavations at the Gila River Farm site in New Mexico. The program will primarily focus on how different earlier traditions have allowed people of various cultural background to live together, which includes questions such as how local plants and animals are used and how raw materials are obtained.
