Summary
The 2015 field season of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project marks the 40th annual archaeological field school hosted by Western Michigan University. Students enrolled in this RPA certified field school participated in a number of activities pertaining to public archaeology with a focus on architecture in 18th century New France. Students participated in fieldwork, lab work, writing blogs and posting to our social media, an annual public lecture series, public outreach to over 800 school children on field trips, our archaeology summer camp, and our annual open house. These outreach efforts give students a greater sense of the nuanced complexity of archaeology in the modern world and provide opportunities for community involvement.
