Participants also learn about the cultures and history of <a

through
seminars and field trips led by USF faculty, and gain a broader
perspective on
the world by living and working in a modern Central American community.
Both
undergraduate and graduate students are invited to participate. The
program is
designed to allow participants to learn and practice methods of
archaeological
survey, excavation, data collection and materials recovery, recording,
and
processing, as well as laboratory analysis and artifact cleaning and
conservation.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 138pt;"><font face="Calibri"
size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;">The
curriculum surveys modern field and laboratory
analytical techniques appropriate to anthropological archaeology,
stressing
their relation to basic theoretical questions and assumptions. It also
provides
practical knowledge of, and experience in using, the methods of public
and
applied archaeology. Through readings, lectures, and discussions, the
historical development of archaeology and cultural resource management
are
considered, and then the key concepts that define the discipline are
analyzed.
These techniques and strategies are simultaneously applied to
investigate the
archaeological site of El Antigual, a hilltop settlement with
residential and
ceremonial components that was occupied at the time of Christopher
Columbus’ famous encounter with a local trading canoe in 1502 as he
passed by the island on his final voyage to the Americas.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 138pt;"><font face="Calibri"
size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;">The
curriculum also explores the evolving cultural
traditions of southeastern Mesoamerica. Participants begin by examining
the
ideas that influenced prehispanic religion, economy, and politics. The
continuities and changes in these traditions brought about by the
Spanish
Encounter are then pursued. More recent historical patterns and
processes on
Roatán and its neighboring islands are finally considered. This rich
and
complex history brought together a blend of indigenous Pech islanders,
Spanish
colonialists, African peoples, British and Dutch settlers, and
Caribbean
pirates and buccaneers, which gives Roatán its distinctive cultural
character
today.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

countries
for over 15 years. The first few days of the program are devoted to
orientation
to the community where we live and to the field site of El Antigual and
its
environs. The remainder of the program focuses on field and lab
research, with
participants divided into teams of three or four students each. Each

estimated total program cost is $4,700 for
