>>Duke University's Department of Biological Anthropology and Anatomy
>> (BAA) and the Office of Study Abroad are offering a six-week field-
>> study program this summer in the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage
>> Site in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The program, directed by
>> Professor Steven Churchill of Duke University, gives students hands-on
>> training in the field of paleoanthropology while conducting
>>excavations in a Middle/Late Pleistocene human occupation site. Also,
>> students will have the opportunity to see original fossils including
>> the Taung child and Mrs. Ples, and visit fossil localities such as
>> Swartkrans and Kromdraai. Game drives, bush walks, and structured
>> exercises in the field will add depth to the experience. While the
>> program is ideally suited for students with a strong interest in
>> archeology and prehistory, its strong focus on the geology and modern
>> ecology of southern Africa makes it appropriate for anyone interested
>> in natural science.
