Social Sciences : Archaeology at WestConn

2005 Summer Field School in Archaeology in Colorado

In June of 2005, Dr. Weinstein and five students went out to Colorado and worked with Dr. Mark Stiger and Mr. Erik Bjornstad, and their students from Western State College, on a Paleo Indian site in Gunnison, Colorado. This “trial class” also participated in a three day tour of the 4 Corners area of the Southwest where they toured Mesa Verde and camped out. Despite one mishap (one tent blew over in a thunderstorm and filled with rain), the trip was absolutely breathtaking for all of us.
