The Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Department of Anthropology鈥檚 Ecuador Field 杏吧直播间 has provided anthropological and archaeological field training for all levels of 杏吧直播间: 听undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral. 听Since its inception in 1997, the Ecuador Field 杏吧直播间 has trained over 600 杏吧直播间 in anthropological and archaeological field methods.
From FAU, the US, Europe and South America, 杏吧直播间 have learned archaeological and ethnographic field techniques and many have completed their theses and doctoral dissertations based on research they conducted at the Ecuador Field 杏吧直播间. 听FAU faculty, professional anthropologists and archaeologists provide 杏吧直播间 with methodological training within the context of ongoing research projects.
The ethnographic and archaeological research programs center on understanding local subsistence practices in variegated micro-ecosystems with the goal of building a record of how people in coastal Ecuador have made use of multiple ecosystems in a relatively small area from approximately 5000 years ago to the present.

The field program has also initiated an archaeological survey of an interior river valley populated with a number of distinct monkey species. 听This survey has the potential to expand the programs for the Ecuador Field School鈥檚 programs to include primatology, tropical forest ecology, zoology, geography, art and history.
