This summer's UNL Field School in Archeology will
be outside Nebraska for the first time in years.
Peter Bleed, associate professor and chairman of
the anthropology department, said that the 1983 field
school will be taught in the Ozark National Scenic River
way. The 130-mUe-long Riverway, a national park, is
in the eastern Ozarks of southeast Missouri.
Mark Lynott, a visiting assistant professor of anthro
pology will direct the school. He has worked at the site
during the past several years. Lynott is also a supervisory
archeologist of the National Park Service's Midwest
Archaeological Center, which has been located in Lin
coln for about 15 years.
The field school, in session between May 16 and July
8, is open to any UNL student as well as students from
other colleges and universities.
Students participate by enrolling for a total of eight
credits in Anthropology 280 and 281 summer session
courses. Tuition is $258 for residents and $698 for non
residents. Other expenses include $7.50 in student fees,
35 cents per day for insurance and $20 to $25 per week
for food.
Accommodations, according to fliers supplied by
Bleed, are "semi-rustic." They include tents, running
water and perhaps electricity. Students will be asked
to provide their own bedding, field clothes, personal
items and something called a "4-inch Marshalltown
pointing trowel."
The only prerequisite to the field school is an intro
ductory anthropology course, Bleed said. But even
the prerequisite can be waived for students who have a
particular reason for enrolling in the field school.
Money for the field school comes from summer session
funding, which has been reduced for 1983 because of
budget cuts. However, Bleed said the field school will
be unusually rich this summer because the school will
be linked with a National Park Service archaeological
project. As a result, the field school will cost students
less this summer than it has in the recent past.
The focus of the research will be on the end of the
archaeological record - early historic Euro-American
sites, such as pre-Civil War American frontier communi
ties and very late historic Indian communities. The
Osage and Wichita tribes were indigenous to the area,
he said.
"A field school is a unique kind of' opportunity,"
he said. "There's a good deal of work. What you do eight
hours a day is dig, but the digging is combined with a
lot of intellectual work.
"Any time you're doing archaeological research,
you're continually solving and looking for a number of
different kinds of relationships as sort of little puzzles.
"The recovery of articles is a very specialized craft
that you can't learn except by doing it."
UNL's archaeological field school has been conducted
almost every year since the 1930s, Bleed said. It compares
favorably with programs conducted by other major
universities, he said.
"The research started by the field school will be
continued by the National Park Service after the end
of the field session," he said. "Some of our students
will be hired to continue the work."
The field school enrollment will be limited to about
25 students.

A meeting for students
interested in study abroad
will be Thursday at 3 p.m.
in the Nebraska Union,
Roberto EsquenazkMayjp,.
director of UNL's Institute
for International Studies,
said.
The purpose of the meet
ing is to introduce students
to the International Student
Exchange Program. Through
the program, which UNL
joined VA years ago, stu
dents earn university credit
while studying abroad,
Esquenazi-Mayo said. About
55 to 60 U.S. colleges and
universities participate in
the program, which sends
students to Western Europe,
Africa, Asia and Latin
America.
Students need not be
language majors to study in
a particular country, but
they need to be familiar
with the language, as
courses will be taught in the
country's vernacular,
Esquenazi-Mayo said. Stu
dents who participate in the
program are eligible for
financial aid from the
government and their uni
versity, because they earn
credit for their degrees from
American universities.
