We don’t know what the future brings, but we’re planning to offer a field school this summer. Lots of other schools are too, so we want to prepare you for the experience. If you want to know more about field school, join Drs. Shelby Anderson and Doug Wilson for an info session, with details on the Summer 2021 PSU Fort Vancouver Field School.
Date & Time: February 9th, 4-5 p.m.
Location: Via Zoom https://pdx.zoom.us/j/86510936929
This year, PSU Anthropology is celebrating Giving Tuesday by joining in the PSU Day of Giving.
We are asking for donations to support summer experiences for our undergraduate and graduate students. Feedback from students tells us that summer research opportunities—in the form of field schools (for archaeology, bio and cultural anthropology) or travel for internships to work in museums or non-profit organizations—can truly be “life changing.”
Please consider making a donation of any amount ($5, $10, $50 or more!) towards our summer scholarship fund. We want to send as many of our students as possible to practice their anthropology out in the world. Your support will make a big difference in the lives of our students!

The Off the Beaten Track summer field school for anthropology and ethnography is now the longest standing anthropology field school in the world. With over 20 editions in 12 years, we have gathered a cohort of anthropology professionals and enthusiasts working on a variety of projects and sharing their experience in this summer project.The number of slots during our three sessions is limited, but at this point there is still room for some more participants.
It’s almost field school season! Adams State University is accepting applicants for our current field school program, excavating Fort Massachusetts in southern Colorado. This program is designed to be as enriching as it is affordable, for both undergraduate as well as graduate students.
The joint NPS/PSU/and WSUV Public Archaeology Field School is now taking applications for this summer’s field work at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. Please see the attached flyer. For those who are considering a career in archaeology, please consider this essential course in field methods which also includes public archaeology interpretation in our nearest National Park Unit!
