The six-week class is part of the Fort Vancouver Public Archaeology Field School Author: Devon Haskins Updated: 6:45 PM PDT July 13, 2021
VANCOUVER, Wash. Archaeology students from Portland State University, Washington State University Vancouver and a handful of other universities are learning hands-on by digging through small sections of Vancouver s waterfront.
The students are participating in a six-week class as part of Fort Vancouver s 2021 Public Archaeology Field School. It s an area that we have not intensively studied, said Doug Wilson, an archaeologist with the National Park Service. This place is particularly special. It s a place where they had a whole complex of buildings. There were the docks, there was a boatworks, there was a hospital. That hospital was associated with the epidemic of malaria that hit this area in the 1830s.
