Prior to teaching\, he worked at the Wisconsin Historical Society and on the restoration of the State Capitol \nMs. Kristin Schneider is an avocational archaeologist who managed the biology and chemistry laboratories at the University of Wisconsin –Waukesha for eight years before retiring. She has participated in two UW MIA Recovery and Identification Project excavations and has assisted with the analysis of artifacts recovered during the Historical Farmstead Project at the UWM-Waukesha Field Station. \nMr. Jadon Thornton is an aspiring classical archaeologist\, who has participated in the Historical Farmstead Project at the UWM-Waukesha Field Station\,  since its inception in Spring 2023. He has assisted with the survey\, excavation\, and mapping of the Field Station grounds as well as the analysis of recovered artifacts. \nThe Course: \nThe UW-Milwaukee Waukesha Field Station will serve as the setting for lectures\, field work\, and lab activities introducing participants to archaeological methods and principles\, especially as they apply to the study of a circa 1844 through 1970 farmstead\, as well as prehistoric sites\, marking the property. Lectures will provide a brief overview of archaeological research in Wisconsin and the development of farmstead archaeology. These topics will be followed by discussions regarding the necessity of a project research design\, the archival and archaeological research techniques that support such a design\, the significance of different artifact types\, and how documentary and artifactual data lend themselves to interpretations about the lives of people who lived on the property. Field and lab activities or simulations will break-up lecture times. Field work will consist of limited test excavations while lab work will focus on the cleaning and analysis of artifacts recovered during testing activities. Artifact analysis will include consideration of items recovered during previous investigations to provide participants with a broader exposure to artifact types and their significance. \nUpon completion of the course\, a participant will be familiar with the following: \n\nHow archaeological research design is developed.\nThe archival\, field\, and laboratory techniques\, methods\, and data that guide a research design.\nThe use of multiple sources of information needed to investigate and evaluate cultural resources sites and properties such as the UWM-Waukesha Field Station.\nHow to “tell time” or date a site using 19th- through mid-20th-century artifacts.\nThe importance of developing a historical context from archival and archaeological sources that allows one to recognize the significance of sites such as the UWM-Waukesha Field Station within the broader historical framework of Euro-American farming and culture in Waukesha County\, southern Wisconsin\, and the Midwestern United States between the Civil War and WWII.\n\nNo prior archaeological experience is required for one to enroll in the course. \nClass Schedule:\nWednesday through Friday 9 am – 3 pm. \nWEEK 1 \n17 June:  intro to instructors\, the property\, and archaeology and specifically historical archaeology; \n18 June:  intro to archival and archaeological methods; and \n19&22 June:  in field archaeological survey\, shovel testing. \nWEEK 2 \n22-24 June: cleaning artifacts\, \n24&25 June: analyzing and researching recovered materials\, and \n26 June: discussion about farmsteads\, archaeology\, and the interpretation of materials. \n Equipment and Dress:\nAll field and lab equipment will be provided for participants. During the analysis of artifacts\, participants should be prepared to bring a laptop computer for accessing Web pages that will assist with the identification and interpretation of recovered artifacts. Archaeology is a dirty activity\, and participants should be prepared to get dirty\, dusty\, and maybe muddy.
