General Field School Information

Each summer, TAS sponsors a week-long archeological field school.  The program provides training in archeological techniques to Society members and contributes important new data to enhance the state's archeological record and cultural heritage. No prior archeological experience is necessary.  We are an inclusive organization.  Activities and learning opportunities are offered for all ages, including excavation techniques, survey methods, and special training for newcomers and teachers.  

​The TAS field school spans seven days and is led by professional archeologists and trained avocationals. Participants may register for a minimum of three days or for the full week and choose excavation, survey, or the laboratory.  Volunteers may also participate in the afternoon and evening workshops, educational programs, and social activities that are spread throughout the week.  Several Field School Scholarships are also available.
