Welcome to the home of CAP, the Campus Archaeology Program!
Campus Archaeology works with multiple departments across the University to make sure that this cultural heritage is protected. Each construction project on campus that disturbs the earth is properly mitigated by CAP. Almost the entire process of completing an excavation project, from design to historical research to excavation to reporting to outreach is completed by MSU undergraduate and graduate students, advancing their education in unique ways. CAP also works to contribute to the public understanding of MSU’s cultural heritage, through contributions to academic journals, giving talks and presentations on campus, and developing outreach opportunities throughout the community.
- Follow the CAPBlog to engage in the day-to-day operations of the program. This blog will keep you updated on all the recent aspects of CAP, including reports from the field, the latest additions to website exhibitions, various outreach programs, and the latest research that we are working on. Participation by the public is encouraged through the comments section, so that we can be aware of what knowledge and input the MSU community may be able to provide.
