“Gallia Field School” by Noor Sullivan, University of Maryland, MPS in Cultural Heritage Resource Management student
Noor is interested in community-collaborative cultural resource management and
programming, particularly among indigenous communities. To this end he is enrolled in the Cultural Heritage Resource Management program at University of Maryland. In order to move his career interests forward by experiencing archaeological methods and being introduced to indigenous communities of New Mexico, he chose to attend the Gallina – Puebloan Rebels of the Southwest Field School. Noor will give a presentation on experiences at this field school.

“Blackfriary Archaeological Field School” by Brianna Ramirez, New Mexico State University recent graduate
This past summer, Brianna attended the Blackfriary Archaeological Field School in Ireland. This school provided a summer course on field work for bioarchaeology and post-excavation methods. Since Brianna is interested to become a forensic anthropologist this field school was signification because of the director’s commitment to ethics in the analysis and treatment of human remains and a dedication to community engagement and heritage. Brianna will discuss her experiences at the field school.
