Fun, Games, and Learning at the Archeology Field School

With the inclement weather making the ground rock hard, Professor Schuck's Archeology Field School students concentrated on the theory behind archeological digs this past weekend.  There was still time to take advantage of the relatively warm weather.  In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, John Willamowski and Matt Stackhouse tried their hand at the strange sport of curling.  They presumably took home the Gold Medal for the event...

The Filed School is held at the Metzger Nature Center, and ONU property near New Philadelphia on the eastern side of the state.  Students have been excavating a nineteenth-century farm site for the past few years.  They have uncovered a number of artifacts, and part of their work is to learn how to clean, catalog, and display the artifacts.  To hear more about the Field School in Professor Schuck's words, and to see students in action, click on the following link.
