2009 Archaeology for the Curious Classes Available
Are you looking to learn more about Archaeology basics, or do you need a refresher on the history of the Pacific Northwest? The Oregon Archaeological Society is proud to once again offer its annual series of Training classes. OAS Basic Training, also known as Archaeology for the Curious, is taught by experienced regional professionals from organizations such as the National Forest Service, BLM, and the University of Oregon. The program is co-sponsored by the Washington County Museum and Portland Community College. The first two sessions will be held from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Jan. 31 and Feb. 14, 2009 at the Rock Creek Campus of Portland Community College in Building 7, Rm. 121. Topics include archaeology basics as well as information on artifacts, laws and ethics, Northwest archaeology and rock art, site stewardship and volunteering. The cost is just $25 for both sessions.
If you want to dig further into archaeology, training classes in field excavation, cataloging and laboratory methods, compass reading and site mapping will be held on the four consecutive Saturdays between Feb. 21 and March 14. Because class size is limited for the last four sessions, please reserve early. The entire six-session package is $90 and includes a one-year OAS membership or $60 for current members.
