Be an osteoarchaeologist (bone specialist) for a week!
No bones about it – this summer camp is a unique experience! For the first time, ASM bioarchaeologists Lane Beck and John McClelland team up with ASM zooarchaeologist Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman to offer you a week-long course on human* and animal bone identification. Experience first-hand how and what these bone experts learn through hands-on activities, lectures, tours, and more.
Here’s what some past campers have to say about their experience:
“Fantastically rich program! Thanks for one of the most enjoyable and rewarding weeks of my long life. I look forward to continuing in the program. A great, great program.”
“This has been a FANTASTIC experience! I learned an incredible amount and had fun doing it. I really enjoyed getting to actually handle the various…materials… I would certainly participate in future programs.”
“Had a blast, learned a lot and as added value can utilize this experience in my workplace.”
