2025 Kansas Archeology Training Program Field School

The Kansas Historical Society (KSHS) and Kansas Anthropological Association are excited to announce that the 2025 Kansas Archeology Training Program (KATP) field school will be held June 6-15 in Lecompton. Plan to attend one or all ten days for a hands-on learning experience about archeology and Kansas history. Registration for KATP will be available beginning March 1, 2025, and is open to individuals aged 12 and up of all experience levels as training is provided.

This KATP will focus on archeological excavations around a structure built during Kansas’ territorial period and the procedure of processing, cleaning, and cataloging materials in an archeology lab. All KATP participants are required to attend classes on orientation and archeological principles, which last around four hours and are scheduled daily.

The Kansas Historical Society does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission to, access to, or operation of its programs. KSHS requests prior notification to accommodate individuals with special needs or disabilities.
