A short write up on the class project my students and I did on the Oregon Coast was published in the PSU newsletter. All in all, a pretty successful class project: http://www.pdx.edu/clas/news/psu-archaeology-students-and-faculty-study-archaeological-sites-oregon-coast. A month or so later I made a much less sunny but equally fun family trip to […]
