A One-Day Archaeological Adventure
If you have ever had a desire to have a "hands on experience" in archaeology we offer the very unique opportunity to work with a team recording and documenting ancient sites on public lands administered by the Bureau Of Land Management. Under the direction of a professional archaeologist, participants are instructed in the lifeways of the ancients, proper site etiquette and archaeological methodology: mapping procedures, artifact identification and recording.

 

Native American Archaeological artifact: art


The information gathered on these expeditions is submitted to the Bureau Of Land Management to help them determine the future of these sites, and is recorded in the Arizona Historical Records.

Guests – parents and children – work on recordingThis is a full day experience, approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for small groups of about 5-15 participants. It includes continental breakfast and lunch. Participants should bring appropriate footwear, sunscreen, sun hat, water bottle or canteen. We recommend long pants or jeans.
