About the Course Faculty Cost General Information Scholarship and Financial Aid Information Application Information USM's Summer 2001 Archaeological Field School will focus on the ecology and pre-Columbian settlement of St. John, the smallest and least developed of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Students will participate in the discovery, description, mapping, and excavation of pre-Columbian village sites, and will investigate the natural resources that were available to the Native American inhabitants of the island. During the first week of the field school, students will participate in field work during the daytime, and in discussions of study of West Indian geography and prehistory in the evenings. During the remaining period of the program, two evenings a week will be devoted to group meetings, and the remaining evenings will be free time.
Enrollment is limited and by instructor permission.
