Poster #105
Since 2021, UWM students and faculty have conducted archaeological research at the UWM at Waukesha Field Station. This work has provided over twenty students with experiential learning opportunities in archaeological field and lab methods as well as public outreach with the communities we serve. Our research has also provided new insights into past human behavior and adaptations at the Field Station through the discovery of archaeological sites. Recovered archaeological materials represent thousands of years of human occupation there, representing the activities of past inhabitants at the Field Station. Archaeological research at the UWM at Waukesha Field Station has helped us explore cultural landscapes on the property, provided training to students, and helped us engage with the public. All these support the mission and goals of the UWM at Waukesha Field Station, the College of General Studies, UW-Milwaukee, and the Wisconsin Idea.
