    In 2026, the Texas Archeological Society (TAS) invites all current and future members to attend our annual summer field school. This year we will be just outside of Rockdale. The week-long program offers activities and learning opportunities for all ages and experience levels, including excavation techniques, survey and laboratory methods, and special training for newcomers and teachers. The TAS website contains detailed information about what to expect at field school and specifics about this year’s archeological goals.
