The UNB Bioarchaeology Field School is now accepting applications for the 2017 season. Come explore the Fortress of Louisbourg in beautiful Cape Breton, Canada and learn about one of the most expansive 18th century Forts in North America. This field program will offer students a unique opportunity to excavate and analyze skeletal remains belonging to the villagers of Louisbourg but also those who fought and died during the sieges at the Fortress. As a National Historic Site of Canada that has been partially restored, students will have the opportunity to gain field experience while also learning about the Fort and experiencing East Coast Canadian culture.
