UGA - Franklin - Archaeology Field and Laboratory Methods Camp in Spain


This program advances college and department learning goals in three areas. It provides students with a hands-on experience in which they are required to extend their learning beyond the classroom in order to succeed. It offers students a learning opportunity in which they collect, visualize, analyze and interpret data to develop strong data literacy skills crucial to their future success as citizens and professionals. The interdisciplinary nature of the program serves to promote knowledge and skills that transcend anthropology as a major while allowing students to simultaneously achieve deep disciplinary knowledge of the human experience. A unique strength of anthropology as a discipline is that it bridges between traditional STEM fields and the classical humanities.

Program Location: Aragon, Spain

The Ebro River Valley lies at the crossroads of European history, and has been at the center of human use, occupation and conquest of the Iberian Peninsula since the Neolithic. You will have the opportunity to work at the Medieval market town of Mercadal to learn archaeological and landscape field methods, and visit monumental archaeological sites across Aragon from Bronze Age hill forts to decisive battle fields in the Spanish Civil War.
