During the field school we will be conducting various forms of remote sensing to locate the remains of slave houses located behind the main house. Then we will be excavating at those slave houses located during the survey. Enrollments will be limited to 15 students, graduate or undergraduate. There are no special prerequisites for the course, although physical ability to engage in field work is essential. Any student in good standing in a college or university is elibile to apply.
Housing is provided in downtown Natchez.
Students will be responsible for purchasing food, but cooking is communal.
