ANT 295-01 - Special Topic: Historic Schoolhouse Excavation

2 credits (Fall)

During the week before classes start, students will practice archaeological skills including site mapping and excavation by mapping and excavating a historical site near Grinnell which was the location of a one-room schoolhouse from the late 1850s to about 1950. This intensive week will be followed by readings about the history of education in Iowa to put the project in context and individual projects analyzing the and writing up the results of the excavations.
