Traditional Field Methods
The Notre Dame Archaeology Field School covers traditional field school
topics including:
Site Mapping
Students use a total station ("laser transit") to make an
accurate site map of the Bellinger Site. 
Excavation
Students prepare a profile wall for photography.
Each excavation level is screened to collect small artifacts.
Laboratory Analysis of Finds
Students clean, catalog, and identify the
artifacts.
Artifacts are identfied, described and numbered for future study.
Middle Woodland (ca. A.D. 200 to 400) pottery sherds of the Goodall Tradition
from the Bellinger Site show us when the site was occuppied.
