From Stone to Screen: Instructional Skills Workshops

We are excited to announce that the From Stone to Screen team is setting up a series of workshops for some hands-on archaeology skills!

"From Stone to Screen is pleased to present a year-long series of hands-on, interactive sessions on current archaeological methods, tools, and practices. Our goal in creating this series is to provide archaeology students and enthusiasts from both the CNERS and Anthropology departments an opportunity to learn a variety of skills throughout the year which will be applicable to fieldwork and lab work, and to foster a collaborative environment between our two departments. These Instructional Skills Workshops will allow students to acquire the skills and experience necessary to prepare for the reality of modern fieldwork."
