VDHR-ASV-USFS are pleased to announce a Certification Program field school on the Eastern Shore, April 17-24. Sea level rise and the increased frequency of intense storms along the Atlantic Coast are not only impacting modern communities -- they are resulting in the loss of shoreline and coastal archaeological sites. VDHR's Threatened Sites Program has identified this as a high priority problem that needs the attention of the archaeological community.
The field school, which includes opportunities for survey and excavation, will take place at locations in Northampton and Accomack counties. Directed by Mike Barber (VDHR) and Mike Madden (USFS), this 8-day opportunity will provide a first-had look at fascinating archaeological resources as well as training in the documentation and testing of sites that may be lost to us in the near future. Applications are due April 1. Contact Mike Barber for more details.
