“…Test excavations, funded by the USFS, were conducted in House 2 as part of a cooperative field school organized by the University of Wisconsin and the University of Idaho. The excavation was conducted in consultation with the Nez Perce, and the research design began with the assumption that Hells Canyon households represent ancestral Nez Perce families (see Marshall, 1977;Schwede, 1966;Spinden, 1908;Trafzer, 1992). House 2 is the largest and least disturbed house feature at the Tryon Creek Site.…”

Excavation data from an ancestral Nez Perce dwelling in Hells Canyon, Oregon (1600-500 B.P.) are used to integrate 3-D GIS and spatio-temporal problem-solving for university-level archaeology instruction. By working through three sequential projects, students learn visualization skills as well as archaeological methods, spatial thinking, and problem-solving. These projects include digital excavation of a house site with evaluation of the spatio-temporal relationships and patterns of artifacts, group analysis of different occupation layers, and 3-D visualization. Beyond this, students were encouraged to continue to explore areas of interest, develop new research questions, and complete more detailed studies as independent research efforts. Applications like 3-D GIS have the potential to reach many more students and dramatically increase student interest in and understanding of archaeology, using computer methods as a supplement to field work.
