In 2024, 24 OU students from Anthropology and Classics participated in the Anthropology Department’s Archaeological field school at Spiro run by Patrick Livingood, Amanda Regnier, and Scott Hammerstedt. Students got to examine three areas of the most famous archaeological site in Oklahoma and initial indications are these three areas date to 1050-1250. These investigations help us to better understand daily life at this very important site. Students not only contributed to very important research, but also learned archaeological excavation methods. This project was conducted with the permission and support of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Caddo Nation, and the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes.
