Archaeology

Community Archaeology Day

Each year, faculty and students in ARCN 246: Archaeological Methods and Lab share results from their recent archaeological excavations on Carleton’s campus. As an Academic Civic Engagement (ACE) course, students present their archaeological findings (artifacts, maps, historical documents, etc.) to the entire community.

Check out past explorations!
