Wayne, Ind., during Purdue University's summer archaeological field school. For the first time, Project Archaeology, a national program based at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, brought teachers to Purdue for a three-day workshop to learn what it's like to be an archaeologist. On Wednesday (June 30), the teachers assisted with the excavation of the Wea View Schoolhouse (No. 8) site in Tippecanoe County's Wabash Township. Purdue's Department of Sociology and Anthropology field school takes place every summer and provides technical training for Purdue students.
