Archaeology Summer Camp for Adults
The Archaeology of Tumamoc Hill : June 15–19, 2015 (Full,wait listing)
Much about the prehistoric settlement atop Tumamoc Hill is still a mystery. Scholars argue that ancient hilltop villages in the American Southwest—such as that on Tumamoc—were constructed either for defensive purposes or to serve a ritual function. Recent work by ASM scholars combined archaeological excavation and geochemical analyses to toward identifying 1) when this ancient village was established, 2) how long it was occupied, and 3) why was it constructed (defense or ritual). Establishing the timing and purpose of these villages is critical to characterize human behavior at the origins of agriculture and permanent village life in the region.
Campers will visit the site, then work closely with ASM staff to assist in the processing and analysis of artifacts from our excavations.
