Oneota Archaeology at the Crescent Bay Hunt Club and Schmeling Sites
May 27–July 3, 2008
The UWM Archaeological Field School will return to the
shores of Lake Koshkonong, near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. We will be conducting
survey and excavation at the Crescent Bay Hunt Club and Schmeling sites,
continuing our long-term research into Oneota agricultural villages. The
two sites were occupied circa A.D. 1200-1400 and have yielded evidence
for settled agricultural life including houses, palisade walls, dozens
of food preparation and food storage facilities, and tremendous amounts
of Oneota ceramics, stone tools, and copper implements. Read

Anthropology 685: Summer Field School in Archaeology (6 credits)
Much is known about the SunWatch site, a partially reconstructed
Fort Ancient village located just south of Dayton, Ohio. However, very
little is known about surrounding Fort Ancient settlements and their relationship
to SunWatch. This field school will continue to assess the structure and
timing of a newly discovered village near SunWatch, the general shape
of which appears to be very similar. Magnetic gradiometry and susceptibility
surveys strongly suggest that the site contains a plaza around a domestic
zone.
During this five-week field school, students will learn
the basic principles of archaeological fieldwork, including techniques
related to surface and subsurface investigations. Additionally, students
will visit other archaeological sites, conduct preliminary lab work, attend
guest lectures, and prepare for their future by attending a career workshop.
Submit an application
by Friday, March 28. Admission is competitive as class size is limited
to 20 students.
