What is your high school student doing this summer?
The Wakefield Estate's Summer Archaeology Institute is a hands-on archaeological excavation at the historic Wakefield Estate in Milton, MA. It is one of only a few programs of its type in the country. The Wakefield Estate’s Summer Archaeology Institute is designed for high school students interested in learning about archaeology and local history. Participants will work side by side with graduate archaeology students from Boston University. Each two-week session offers students a hands-on introduction to the field of archaeology through participation in an actual excavation on site at the estate. To read about some of the past discoveries, check the news archive on www.wakefieldtrust.org. The institute is a two-week course that includes a field trip to visit other active archaeological sites in the Boston area.

§ Session I: July 7 -July 18; M-F, 9am-3pm
