Overview
Ontario Field School
Summer 2013 Field School
The 2013 Ontario Field School provides a focused and intensive
introduction to archaeological field methods, from Stage Two (field
survey) to Stage Three and Four (excavation). Our fieldwork is
supported by digital survey methods, GIS, and digital cartography,
which provides participants with learning opportunities in GIS and
Total Station survey. We will be working in the vicinity of
Peterborough, ON, and mainly, but not exclusively, concentrating our
activities on the further definition and excavation of Archaic and
Woodland-period settlement patterns. The program runs for six weeks,
between Monday 29 April and Friday 7 June (Monday to Friday, 8am to
4pm). This is a non-residential field school, although summer
accommodation is available on the Trent University campus, and
short-term self-catered camping may be possible at the field site.
The short and medium range goals of the Field School Program are to:
provide participants with the technical knowledge required to
undertake and report on different types of archaeological field survey
and excavation methods that meet the current Standards and Guidelines
for Consultant Archaeologists (Ontario); develop participants'
theoretical understanding of the role of archaeological fieldwork and
its relationship to broader issues (First Nations, heritage
conservation, land claims, stake holder concerns; etc.); and build
participants' respect and understanding of Ontario's archaeological
heritage. In all cases, the technical and practical work will be
situated in an evolving problem-oriented framework, to which you are
expected to contribute through the course.
