Via the Topeka Capital Journal:

The Kansas Historical Society and the Kansas Anthropological Association will hold the annual Kansas archeology training program field school June 2-17 at the Kansa site of Fool Chief’s Village on the north side of Topeka, according to a news release.

The Kansa site was selected because of a road project at US-24 highway and N.W. Menoken Road, which will have a negative impact on the site. The Kansas Historical Society, under contract with  the Kansas Department of Transportation and under the direction of the Federal Highway Administration, will carry out a data-recovery program to mitigate adverse effects to the site.

The annual field school is an opportunity for the public to work alongside professional and avocational archeologists. No experience is necessary, just a desire to learn. Volunteers can attend for a few days or the entire 16 days of the field school…. more
