Archaeological Field School
Anth 372A/Anth 570T Summer Term III
The Department of Anthropology’s archaeological field school will be held at the
Bevier-Wright house from May 28 until July 5, 2024.
The Bevier-Wright House is a National Register of Historic Places listed property
in
the village of Port Dickinson, NY. Port Dickinson was a stop on the Chenango Canal
just north of Binghamton. The village was a sparsely settled, rural area in the 1790s
when the original portion of the Bevier-Wright House was built. The house, and its
occupants, have been part of the story of Port Dickinson ever since. We will be
exploring this story through changes in domestic life and landscape.
This is a six credit, six week course with classroom and field instruction in mapping, survey, and excavation techniques. The field school will be local and students will be responsible for the own housing (Housing is available on campus through residential life.
