About
Field School
Join Abbe Museum archaeologists at a site in Maine
where you will use archaeology to learn how people
lived in the past. Working alongside archaeologists,
you’ll excavate and recover artifacts at a Native
American site to help us discover what people did
there long ago.
Evening lectures and hands-on
lab workshops will give you background information
on Maine archaeology, identifying artifacts and Native
American history. Evening programs include: an overview
of Maine archaeology, identifying and analyzing Native
American pottery, identifying animal food bones and
how stone tools are made.
The information gathered during field schools is
shared with researchers, Native Americans and the
public through publications, lectures and exhibitions.
What Other’s Have Said About
Fieldschool:
“I know that each of the
students had different reasons for coming to field
school; mine basically was to make sure that archaeology
was indeed something that I liked and wanted to pursue,
not just a passing interest. The question was answered
quite easily for me in Maine. …It was truly
appreciated and made a difference for me.”
Sarah, University of Rochester
“I learned an incredible
amount, especially during the field excavations! I
could have continued digging for weeks.”
Zusa, Sullivan, ME
“Just letting you know
I had a wonderful experience with your field school.
I feel very confident that archaeology is the career
path I would like to pursue.”
Beth, Minnesota State
“It was a dream opportunity
come true.”
