Archaeological Field Schools - A Guide for Teaching in the Field (Hardcover)

The field school is often described as arite of passage among archaeologists.

Jane Baxter's practical guide about how to run a successful field school offers archaeologists ways to maximize the educational and training benefits of these experiences. She presents a wide range of pedagogical theories and techniques that can be used to place field schools in an educational, as well as an archaeological, context. Baxter then offers ahow to guide for the design of field schools, including logistical, legal, and personnel issues as well as strategies for integrating research and teaching in the field. Replete with checklists, forms, and cogent examples, the author gives directors and staff a set ofbest practices for designing and implementing a school.
