Towner, is offered by Laboratory of Tree-ring Research, University of Arizona, in Tucson, Arizona, and western New Mexico from Monday, May 16 to Friday, June 3, 2016, 9 am – 4 pm daily.* The Laboratory of Tree-ring Research at the University of Arizona is pleased to offer its 14th presession course devoted entirely to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of archaeological tree-rings. Participants (undergrads, grads, professionals) will learn the most accurate and precise dating method used by archaeologists via lectures, laboratory exercises, and field work. The centerpiece of this intensive 3-week course is a field trip to various archaeological sites in western New Mexico area led by Dr. Ronald H. Towner. The first week in Tucson will provide participants with a basic background in dendroarchaeology. The required field trip to western New Mexico will constitute most of the second week. During the third week back in Tucson, participants will prepare, crossdate, and interpret the dendroarchaeological samples collected during the field trip.
