| Field Sessions in Archaeology is designed to expose those students in the SP 20 UF in Ethiopia program to the methods archaeologists use to conduct archaeological fieldwork in general and the Southwest Ethiopian Archaeological Project in particular. During the first three weeks I will also be discussing on an ad hoc basis, the field methods we will be using at Mochena Borago. While in Ethiopia students will be exposed to field methods while conducting field work at Mochena Borago Rockshelter as well as visiting other sites and spending time at the Ethiopian National Museum in Addis Ababa. Students will also learn what Ethiopia’s Authority for Research and Conservation of the Cultural Heritage (ARCCH) is doing to protect, preserve and conserve archaeological sites, as well as expose and educate Ethiopians to the value of preserving Ethiopian cultural heritage. |
