In summer 2019 the UBC Department of Anthropology offered a six-credit archaeology field school (ARCL 306) in partnership with the Sts’ailes First Nation located 130 km east of Vancouver in the Harrison River Valley. Orientation and lab week began at UBC. During weeks 2-5, students lived in a Sts’ailes family longhouse and participated in an archaeological survey, mapping, and excavation of ancient houses and other features in ancestral villages. Students learned to record, analyze, and preserve archaeological materials as they contributed to the community’s long-term archaeological heritage and cultural awareness program.
