Mark Leone
is interested in critical theory, as it applies to archaeology,
and particularly, to historical archaeology. He has directed Archaeology
in Annapolis since 1981. This project focuses on the historical
archaeology of Annapolis and features the use of critical theory.
Through the Department of Anthropology, Leone runs a well-known,
six-week archaeological field school in Annapolis each summer.
The field school is open to graduate students, as well as undergraduates.
Leone is committed to public interpretation of archaeology and
welcomes graduate students who are interested in learning about
the relationship between public interpretation and the politics
of archaeology. Archaeology in Annapolis is co-sponsored by Historic
Annapolis Foundation, which offers rich potential and practical
experience for public outreach.

field schools. A list of selected publications follows.
