A six-week Florida State University archeological field school at the Letchworth Mounds site, will introduce students to basic field and lab methods in archeology, including survey, mapping, excavation, and preliminary analysis of artifacts. The project also will improve current knowledge of the prehistory of Northwest Florida and the Letchworth Mound Complex and aid in interpretation of this publicly owned site.
The Letchworth Mound is a nearly 50 ft tall Native American construction that is part of an archaeological site complex in western Jefferson County, Florida (about 20 miles east of Tallahassee, off State Road 90). The site includes other smaller mounds and a habitation area.

Iron Age, Viking Age and Early Medieval period Field School
The Thy Project: Our research, which focuses on how decentralized societies become states, is set in the later Iron Ages-Early Medieval periods of Denmark, where between AD 500-1200, several autonomous chiefdoms were transformed into a single, unified polity. To fully understand the era, our study begins around the time of Christ, in the Roman Iron Age, when Danish warlords traded with the Roman world. Directed by Dr. Tina L. Thurston
