The Lab

Since January 2012 we have trained students in archaeological lab techniques including cataloging, photography, database management, and analysis. Students enrolled at CRC or area colleges and universities with an interest in archaeology are encouraged to apply each semester. Typically we accept between 5 to 8 students and often have students work over several semesters in the lab.

Some semesters we focus on a particular artifact class such as metal or ceramics. We began by looking at artifacts dug out of a privy (or outhouse). Currently we are processing artifacts from specific areas of the field site that may be associated with individual residents.
