I Dig UCI is one of several projects developed as part of the UCI AnthroLab's pedagogical and research initiatives
A major goal is to empower students to shape the archaeology of campus in ways that are inclusive to the whole of the university community and beyond.

Archaeology @ UCI
Archaeology does not only happen at the site with a trowel in hand. While students at UCI do get their hands dirty conducting surveys and excavations here on campus, they also participate in various active research projects that include lab instruction, archival research, and more. What we offer is not a standard "field school" experience, rather a holistic approach to the practice of archaeology.
