FIELD SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: The Department of Anthropology at UBC is pleased to offer the third archaeology field school in the Harrison River Valley, in southwestern British Columbia in collaboration with the community of Sts’ailes. Students will live in a Sts’ailes guest house for the duration of fieldwork (July 5th – July 30th 2021) and participate in archaeological survey, mapping, and excavation of houses and associated features in ancestral villages. This research will build on previous archaeological investigations by the Sts’ailes community. Students will also have an opportunity to conduct analyses and contribute to the Sts’ailes community’s archaeological heritage and cultural awareness program.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: Several millennia of unbroken occupation has left a remarkably rich archaeological landscape, including hundreds of archaeological features, including pithouses and plank houses, food processing pits, caches, burials, and legacies of forest gardens. These well-preserved features present an exceptional opportunity for students to engage with a wide-range of archaeological sites, features, and materials in a community-based archaeological setting.

WORKING CONDITIONS NOTE: This field school will primarily be conducted on the Sts’ailes reserve on the Harrison River. Students will be housed at the Telmex’w Awtex Annex building. Rooms are available for students, or students may choose to camp in the grounds adjacent to the building. UBC will provide all equipment and supplies for this project. This class will be conducted outdoors in all weather. Students must be prepared to work under all conditions and should bring sunscreen, raingear, warm clothes, etc. as appropriate. Appropriate footwear (hiking boots/rain boots) is required. Students arriving without proper clothing and footwear will not be allowed to participate in research activities.

ADDITIONAL COSTS NOTE: There is a $950.00 fee, in addition to regular 6 credit tuition, in order to help cover the costs of travel, meals, lodging, and other expenses.

Please contact Morgan Ritchie for more information (mritchie@alumni.ubc.ca)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Field school is contingent on UBC and Provincial COVID-19 guidelines.
