Archaeology for Young Scholars at Old Mobile

南阿拉巴马大学（University of South Alabama）将为15名11、12年级的学生启动一个为期四周的住校考古青年学者项目。这个项目将让高中生参与到旧莫比尔遗址的考古研究中，这是法国在美国的第一个长期殖民定居点，可追溯到1702年至1711年。学生将在挖掘和实验室分析期间与考古学家的专业团队密切合作，并将设计个人研究项目。在项目工作人员的支持下，参与者将在整个学年进行这些项目，目标是在科学博览会或国家科学院会议上展示他们的成果。该项目的一个重点将是探索考古和相关科学领域的职业机会。

The University of South Alabama will initiate a four-week, residential Young Scholars project in Archaeology for 15 students entering grades 11,12. This project will involve high school students in archaeological research at the site of Old Mobile, the first long-term French colonial settlement in the United States, dating from 1702 to 1711. Students will work closely with the professional team of archaeologists during excavation and laboratory analysis, and will devise individual research projects. Participants will pursue these projects throughout the academic year, with support from the project staff, with the goal of presenting their results at science fairs or state Academy of Sciences meetings. One focus of the project will be to explore career opportunities in archaeology and related fields of science.
