The True Meaning Behind the Pine Lake Archeological Field School
The Hartwick College Pine Lake Archaeological Field School is nothing new. Students have been getting their hands dirty at this Charlotte Creek floodplain for decades. While the methods and tools may have evolved over the years, the fundamental lessons learned back then remain as relevant today as ever.
“What we really try to do at this field school is train students in the techniques, skills and conduct that is expected of them at any archeological site,” said Namita Sugandhi, associate professor of anthropology, who has run the Hartwick side of the program for three seasons.
