American Archaeology, Summer 2024: “Transformation in the Field”
From the article: “Scholars aim to make field schools for nascent archaeologists more affordable and accessible to help diversify the profession. Current economic conditions create a need for specialized training in CRM archaeology to bridge a labor shortage.”
This article arose directly out of a previous American Archaeology article about changes to the field as a whole. Field schools are required to become an archaeologist at any level, but traditionally these schools have been expensive summer programs close-to-inaccessible to students with disabilities.
But efforts are underway to make field schools more widely available–an essential step toward expanding the discipline.
