Archaeological Field Experience
Archaeological Dig Field Experience runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. August 5 through 9 and August 12 through16.
Campers will uncover buried artifacts that have not been seen in hundreds of years. They will learn multidiscipline skills, such as GPS point and grid layout, excavating, washing, sorting, documenting, cataloging, and properly preserving artifacts that could be as old as 8,500 years. Instructors will explain the context and history of the artifacts uncovered to connect participants to the original people living on the site.
The cost for Fairfax County residents is $425 per camper. The cost is $440 for out-of-county campers. Registration for this camp is available online at Parktakes Online or by calling 703-222-4664. For more information, call 703-631-0013.
