PAAC Historical Archaeology Workshop

The Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC) is offering a two-day Historical Archaeology Workshop.

Gain valuable insights into the field of historical archaeology during this weekend workshop taught by a leading expert, Colorado State Archaeologist Dr. Holly K. Norton. On Day 1, participants will be introduced to historical archaeology, a brief history of the subfield, and the identification and analysis of major artifact types such as ceramics and glass. On Day 2, participants will gain hands-on experience interacting with historical artifacts, applying what was learned on Day 1 through a case study of El Pueblo/Fariss Hotel site.

This two-day workshop is ideal for history and archaeology enthusiasts, students and lifelong learners in the field, and anyone with a passion for the past. No prior experience is required. Participants are encouraged to attend both days of the workshop. If you can attend only one day, Day 1 is recommended.
