\"Brown<\/a>Dr. Robert Wheelersburg, associate professor of anthropology, will present the findings of this year\u2019s archaeology field school during a brown bag lunch at noon on Oct. 2 in the Winters Alcove in the High Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Items from this year\u2019s dig will be on display at the event, including signs of a peace ritual between Susquehannock Indians and European colonists. Wheelersburg will provide his insight on the artifacts and their historical significance.<\/p>\n

Since the 1990s, students from Elizabethtown College who are interested in archeology have engaged in hands-on learning during a three-week summer course\u2014archeology field school.<\/p>\n

\n

Field school offers students … the opportunity to see change over time and the impact of contact between cultures.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cField school offers students from multiple disciplines the opportunity to see change over time and the impact of contact between cultures,\u201d said Wheelersburg. \u201cIt is a true real-world learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even non-sociology\/anthropology majors find the experience interesting and educational. Katie Owens, a senior chemistry major, found parts of her discipline applicable to the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cArchaeology field school was definitely not something I had ever envisioned myself doing for a month out of my summer\u201d said Owens. \u201cBut it was actually really fun and interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lecture is free and open to the public. Attendees are permitted to bring their lunch if they so desire. However, library staff respectfully requests that food be limited to a brown bag or lunchbox. No cafeteria trays permitted.<\/p>\n
