Historical Note

The Campus Archaeology Program was created by Michigan State University professor Lynne Goldstein in 2005. The program offers year-round training to both undergraduate and graduate students in conducting archaeological research using sites on the MSU Campus. The program hires interns who conduct lab work, excavations, and research, and also create blog posts for the program every month. The Campus Archaeological Program also offers a summer field school in which students can participate in archaeological field work.
