Unearthing History: Archaeology Camp

June 23-25, 2026

Join the SIU Archaeological Field School at their dig location near Grassy Lake and Touch of Nature.

The camp will also include a day of hiking. Possible side quests include trips to other local archaeological sites and the Center for Archaeological Investigations Curation Center. Learn about Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Geographic Information System (GIS), and how to conduct an archaeological dig that uses the latest in technology in addition to traditional excavation and mapping techniques.

The Archaeology Camp is sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and the Department of Archaeology at SIU.
