LTRR Dendroarchaeology Fieldschool Webpages
These webpages showcase the projects carried out each summer by the
dendroarchaeology fieldschool of the
Laboratory for Tree Ring Research at the University of Arizona.
Every year since 2002,
the LTRR has
supported the Geosciences/Anthropology 497J/597J course,
a dendroarchaeology fieldschool for undergraduate and graduate
students and
professionals. This intensive three-week course is offered each May and
trains students and
professionals in sample collection, analysis, and interpretation. The
course has attracted participants from many US and Canadian
institutions (U
Arizona, U New Mexico, Colorado State U, U Utah, U Chicago, Cal
State, Laval, U British Columbia, Yale), government agencies (NPS,
USFS, BLM) and international participants from Poland, Japan,
Mexico, and Chile.
The goals of the class are to provide participants
with classroom, field, and laboratory experience in the theory,
methods, and applications of tree-ring data to archaeological
issues. Each project is designed to produce detailed
chronological,
behavioral, and environmental information about an archaeological site.
