Participants are also welcome to tent camping in the fields adjacent to the bunkhouse. Total cost of the field school includes lodging, food, equipment and official project t-shirts. We share cooking and kitchen patrol duties. We work Monday through Friday. During weekends, students are welcome to stay at the field camp but are responsible for their own meals.
Transportation is provided from field camp to the work site each day.
Weekend ride sharing from Lakeshore campus to the field camp can be arranged. Dr. Daniel Amick is an Assistant Professor at Loyola University Chicago and a Registered Professional Archaeologist. This grant is intended to promote research on the archaeology of Illinois and will fund collections research on historic or prehistoric sites in Illinois. We seek to encourage scientific study on existing archaeological collections rather than gathering additional materials through archaeological fieldwork. This grant is open to eligible all undergraduate or graduate students in anthropology and archaeology programs throughout the United States.
