Enjoy indoor, summer archaeology as part of an ASM research team! Museum researchers and scholars are your teachers. An air-conditioned laboratory is your setting. Experience first-hand how and what archaeologists learn about Arizona’s ancient cultures. Each year focuses on a different topic and on a specific research area of the museum.

Your camp leaders are bioarchaeologists John McClelland and James Watson and zooarchaeologist Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman.
