TAS Field School



 2025 Field School Details are here!


Milam County - June 14-21, 2025

Join us for the 2025 Texas Archeological Society’s annual Field School in Milam County.  The 2025 TAS Field School will focus primarily on the survey of Red Mountain (also known as Sugarloaf Mountain) and the surrounding areas, including Robertson County. Red Mountain is an important place for the Tonkawa people, who recently were able to reclaim this ancestral land and will maintain it with the help of the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail Association. Additional field survey and testing components of field school will also center around segments and sites along the El Camino Real de los Tejas at Rancheria Grande.

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2025 FIELD SCHOOL OPENS AT THE END OF JANUARY!

Each summer, the Texas Archeological Society (TAS) sponsors a week-long archeological field school.  The program provides training in archeological techniques to Society members and  contributes important new data to the state's archeological and historical heritage. No prior archeological experience is necessary.  Activities and learning opportunities are offered for all ages, including excavation techniques, survey methods, and special training for newcomers and teachers.  

​The TAS field school spans seven days and is led by professional archeologists and trained avocationals. Participants may register for a minimum of three days or for the full week and choose excavation, survey, or the laboratory.  Volunteers may also participate in the afternoon and evening workshops, educational programs, and social activities that are spread throughout the week.  Several Field School Scholarships are also available.
