May 11th-June 17th 2004

In the summer of 2004, Indiana University and the Glenn A. Black
Laboratory of Archaeology (GBL) will again offer an archaeological
field school at a prehistoric Native American site near Bloomington,
Indiana.

This course is devoted to hands-on instruction in archaeological
survey, excavation techniques, the documentation of archaeological
remains, and the interpretation of archaeological data.  Preliminary
laboratory analysis, including the cleaning, identification, and
cataloguing of artifacts, will be interspersed with the fieldwork.
Intensive lectures in the first few days will provide students with a
background in Indiana prehistory.

The field school is a valuable part of the research program of the GBL
at Indiana University.  Previous GBL field schools have produced
important information about the prehistoric inhabitants of Central
Indiana with regards to their settlement patterns, architecture,
economy, and relations with other prehistoric people throughout
Indiana and the Midwest.  While you are learning, you will be part of
a decades-long tradition of academic and scientific excellence.

This course carries six semester hours of academic credit for both
undergraduate and graduate students.  Class will meet daily, 7:45a.m.
to 5:30 p.m.  The Glenn A. Black Laboratory will provide
transportation to and from the site.  In addition to IU tuition and
fees, students must purchase personal excavation supplies from the
GBL, costing less than $40.00

Admission to the field school is by application only.
