ARCHAEOLOGY SUMMER CAMP FOR ADULTS: Bone Lab
Enjoy indoor, summer archaeology as part of an ASM research team! Museum researchers and scholars are your teachers. An air-conditioned laboratory is your setting. Experience first-hand how and what archaeologists learn about Arizona’s ancient cultures. Each year focuses on a different topic and on a specific research area of the museum. This year, ASM osteoarchaeologists (bone experts) team up to offer you a week-long course on human and animal bone identification. Experience first-hand how and what these experts learn through hands-on activities, lectures, tours, and more. Human bone of a non-archaeological nature will be employed in this classroom setting. Your camp leaders are bioarchaeologists John McClelland and James Watson and zooarchaeologist Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman.
