Students will have a short introductory meeting Thursday morning, followed by two days working in the field, experiencing all aspects of an excavation. They will dig, screen for artifacts, and help with paperwork, all under the supervision of archaeologists. Native American artifacts provide archaeologists with some insight into what the early inhabitants of the area used. The workshop will allow participants to experiment making stone tools, pottery, games and more at Perrot State Park in Trempealeau. Participants should register at least one week in advance.
Programs fill quickly, so early registration is recommended.
