A group of four Framingham State University honors students will be performing archeology fieldwork in New Mexico from May 30th to June 12th under the direction of Dr. Ben Alberti.

The students will be blogging about their experience before, during and after the trip at https://framinghamtothegorge.wordpress.com/.

Since 2013, Dr. Alberti, a professor of Anthropology and chair of the Sociology Department, has taken Framingham State University students to Northern New Mexico to participate in archaeological fieldwork. The Gorge Project (co-directed by Dr. Severin Fowles, Columbia University) investigates the archaeology of northern New Mexico, primarily in the Rio Grande Gorge. The project focuses particularly on rock art and landscape around the Pilar area, near Taos. The four students joining this year’s Gorge Project are: Bobby Rice (Global Studies), Sarah Morgan (Psychology), Deanna Kenyon (Food and Nutrition), and Nikki Husselbee (Psychology)."
