Beartooth Foothills Project
WHO:
AERI members are welcome!
​
WHAT:
The Beartooth Foothills project, located near Fishtail, MT, will take place on private land. This project will primarily include excavation to assess the possible cultural affiliation of aligned stone features. These excavations will primarily include preliminary tests that will determine future investigations.
This project will be perfect for learning the process of archaeological excavation and scientific data recovery. We will also have many fun discussions about methodology—which is just a fancy way of saying we'll discuss the most appropriate methods, or ways of collecting data and applying analytical measures, for future investigations to answer a scientific question using the archaeological record.
​
We are very excited about the Beartooth Foothills project as it begins its first season.
