Anthropology students get hands-on experience with on-campus archaeology field school
St. Cloud State University anthropology students have an incredible opportunity this semester to create their own excavation site and learn technological techniques that date back thousands of years. And they get to conduct the work right on the SCSU campus.
“Rather than excavating on a historical site, we’re making our own site,” said Anthropology Professor Mark Muñiz, who’s in his 19th year teaching at SCSU. “We are going through different traditional technologies that have been used by American Indian ancestors up to recent times; hopefully this gives (students) an appreciation of how difficult life was and how brilliant people were with the technology they had.”
