Archaeology Programs

The Montpelier Archaeology Department is active year-round, performing everything from surveying historic areas to excavating archaeological sites, and processing artifacts in the laboratory.

A cemtral philosophy of our program is offering the public the opportunity to participate in our research programs.  We offer a range of programs from 12 one-week public archaeology dig programs, in-the-lab public programs, and metal detecting programs.  The Department  also hosts two month-long archaeological field schools for undergraduate, graduate, and seniors in high school looking for college credit.
