Field Work and Research Opportunities

The anthropology program regularly sponsors field schools in archaeology and cultural anthropology. These programs are locally based and are accessible to commuters as well as on-campus students. Occasional opportunities for fieldwork abroad are also available. Post-field independent research opportunities are available through individual faculty and the anthropology lab, which houses a collection of over 200,000 artifacts from more than 200 archaeological and historic sites. Students interested in fieldwork should contact the department.
