> The Department of Anthropology, University of North Dakota, invites
> students to attend its Archeological Field School in the summer of 2010.
> The six-week field class is scheduled for 24 May through 2 July 2010. The
> course is being offered in cooperation with the National Park Service. The
> field school will be held at the Elbee and Karishta sites, located within
> the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, Mercer County, ND.
> This National Historic Site was established in 1974 to preserve over 50
> archeological sites located near the mouth of the Knife River in
> west-central North Dakota. The Elbee Site is a multi-component site that
> contains as many as eight cultural components, the most prominent being a
> Plains Village occupation dating to A.D. 1520-1630. The site was recently
> damaged by high water and ice flows in the Knife River, which has exposed
> features and artifacts along the entire length of the site. Two
> archeological features are presently hanging out of the cutbank and are
> slated for excavation this summer. The goal of the 2010 will be salvage as
> much archeological information as possible, before the features and other
> parts of the archeological deposit are lost to future erosion.
>
> A geophysical survey of the Elbee site will occur before the field school,
> in advance of the NPS Midwest Archeological Center's
> Geophysical/Archeological Prospection Workshop. Our students will have the
> opportunity to observe the workshop and gain exposure to this ever
> expanding field of archeology. Students will receive hands-on training and
> experience in the traditional areas of archeological research: the use of
> different kinds of field equipment and techniques for excavation and
> artifact recovery, site mapping, documentation, and record keeping. Use of
> modern electronic mapping techniques and instruments will be demonstrated,
> including an electronic total station and global positioning system (GPS)
> receiver.
>
> Field school students will have the opportunity to conduct excavations at
> the Karishta site, a nearby archeological site within the Knife River
> Indian Villages National Historic Site, which has also been affected by
> river erosion. If time permits, students will have the opportunity to do
> archeological survey work elsewhere in the Knife River drainage of western
> North Dakota.
