Current College or University if NOT SUNY Oswego. Please note you will need to register for the full 6 credits of ANT 380 to take this class.
Coursework: Please list any courses that may be relevant for your preparedness level for the field school, including but not limited to anthropology courses. This is for instructor preparedness only; this will not determine your acceptance to this field school course.
Experience: Please briefly describe any previous archaeological field or laboratory experience you have had, including dates and any institutions (outside Oswego). Previous experience is not required, but helpful for planning.
Health and outdoor comfort: The excavation portion of the field school will take place outside in a city yard in Volney (Van Buren site just outside of Oswego city) and will occasionally involve some heavier labor (think, light shovel work or moving materials). Your baseline health information will allow the school to include a good mix of people so we can safely accommodate different levels of outdoor skills in this class.
Dietary/Allergies: During active excavation, our days run 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, so students will be on their own for lunch (after class) but occasional snacks and water will be provided by the field school. If you have any severe allergies or issues with exposure to food groups (e.g. nuts, milk, etc.) please mention this so we can be prepared and avoid any dietary issues. *
Potential Work conflicts. List any potential dates of conflict. The field school runs 6 weeks (Summer session 1-2) May 20th to June 28th, and meets daily Monday thru Friday 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. I can accommodate limited absences but a lot will interfere with your curricular experience. If you do not foresee any, please enter "Not applicable". *
I acknowledge that I will be contacted by the Director (Dr. Alanna Ossa) prior to being added to the class (if my application is accepted). Note: I will confirm with all students prior to adding them to the class. *
