Abstract
Field schools are a context for many different types of experiential learning. This chapter examines how the Homol’ovi Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (HUROP) integrated public outreach into hands-on archaeological field training. With examples from three public outreach projects, I also explore how the educational objectives of the program and the field setting provided opportunities to collaborate with a Native community, specifically the Hopi Tribe.

Archaeologists spell Homol’ovi with an apostrophe, following the spelling in the Hopi Dictionary (Sekaquaptewa et al. 1998). The State Park name does not use the apostrophe. In 2011, Arizona State Parks decided to drop the word “ruins” was dropped from the Park’s name.
