We conduct intensive archaeological research and documentation of sites threatened by sea level rise from climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course involves conducting intensive Phase I archaeological surveys and limited Phase II excavation of multi-component archaeological sites. You will learn basic archaeological techniques and be required to write a research report and present a poster at the UCF Amy Zeh HIP Student Showcase on aspects of the this year&#8217;s research. Other requirements include readings.
