Course description

Students must apply to the School for enrolment in this course.

This course is a residential field school teaching practical core archaeological skills (survey, excavation, and artefact analysis) through participation in an authentic research setting. The field school is followed by a period of lectures and desktop research which contribute to students' field reports. Students will learn how field research is structured and implemented in archaeological research and cultural heritage management. Field locations will vary each year.

This course will have limited student enrolments. Preference is given to students who have completed ARCA1000 and ARCA/ARCS1001. Preference is also given to students enrolled in the extended archaeology major.

Contact the course coordinator (j.prangnell@uq.edu.au) to express your interest in this course.
