The University of West Florida Archaeology Institute will be conducting a 12-week terrestrial archaeological field methods course between May 10 and July 30, 1999. The course is offered through the department of Sociology and Anthropology. Interested students will participate in archaeological field survey and test excavation of late prehistoric, contact, and colonial period sites in the Pensacola Bay system and its tributaries. Once located and recorded, these late prehistoric, proto-historic and colonial sites will provide important information about the poorly understood exploratory and colonial periods in West Florida when Europeans first discovered and colonized the region and encountered its native American inhabitants.
Participants are responsible for their own housing and meals.
Arrangements can be made to live in campus housing. Alternatively, the Pensacola area offers many weekly and monthly rentals.
