Archaeological Field School

In operation since 2012, is a Rutgers Study Abroad summer program that teaches undergraduate and graduate students archaeological field skills and methods. Among these are: excavation techniques; site recording and management skills; the handling, processing, and preserving of site materials, such as mosaics, painted wall plaster, pottery, human remains, and other small finds.
