Archaeology camp provides experience
By Brenda Finnell
Kansan staff writer
While surveyors were examining a site for a proposed highway near Leavenworth in 1984, they found archaeological artifacts more than seven centuries old.
The road was rerouted, and this summer, University of Kansas and Kansas State University students will study the artifacts while attending archaeological field school.
As many as 20 students can participate in the school. This year's applicants have not yet been selected.
While at the school, students learn how to process artifacts, identify them and prepare them for cataloging. In addition, students attend weekly lectures by scholars from KU and K-State who discuss regional prehistoric sites and research subjects.
subject. The site near Leavenworth appears to be remains of a Indian habitation from about A.D. 950 to A.D. 1300. After the surveys discovered it, it
was placed on the National Register of Historical Places. Brad Logan, program director, then obtained permission from the Kansas Historical Preservation Department to conduct the field school at the site.

school activities.
Buildings near the field site will be rented to establish a field lab, kitchen, dining room and dormitories.
Logan said that although students would have free weekends, living together during the week was an important program element. The environment is similar to archaeological projects students might participate in during their careers.
"It is important because it is about the only opportunity where students can get not only hands-on experience, but instruction in the methods and theories of archaeology," he said.
"It offers all sorts of excavation research potential about what was going on on the Kansas side," Logan said. "It combines the best of a research program and an educational program."
Salle Blankenship, Topeka senior, studied at the archaeological field school in the summer of 1986.
archaeological field school in the summer of 1986. Blankenship said she enjoyed her summer and learned a lot about surveying and retrieving techniques.
Students can earn six hours of undergraduate or graduate credit by attending the field school.
Although she does not plan to pursue a career in archaeology, Blankenship said the field school experience was good for both students who are certain they want to be archaeologists and for those who are not sure. The work helped her decide which were interested in anthropology than archaeology.
Recovering items from a field site also helps students understand the work behind finding
"It makes you really appreciate the artifacts you recover since you do it yourself." Blankenship said.
City Commission meeting takes on international flavor
By a Kansan reporter
In an international spirit of goodwill, a visiting Soviet World War II veteran thanked the Lawrence City Commission last night for the city's hospitality and warmth during his stay here.
Former Soviet Gen. Vladimir Orlov was one of 45 Soviets traveling with a Soviet exhibit on display at the Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
Orlov, two other Soviet World War II veterans and their interpreter took part in a celebration at Central Park Monday honoring the 43rd anniversary of U.S. and Soviet troops linking up at the Elbe
River in Germany
Orlov, through an interpreter,
said he liked Lawrence.
"What impressed us more was the warmth and hospitality of the citizens of Lawrence." Orlov said. "We felt here a real respect for human beings and a warm feeling toward us."
in keeping with the international spirit, the commission received a report from the Sister City Advisory Board about progress in Lawrence becoming sister cities with Chamalieu, France.
