The IUP 2011 Archaeological Field School investigated Historic Hannas Town, the first colonial period county seat west of the Allegheny Mountains. Founded in 1773 by Robert Hanna, Hanna's Town acted as the "capital" for much of western Pennsylvania. In addition to being a legal and commercial center, it was an embarkation point for settlers moving farther west.

The 2011 Archaeological Field School trained undergraduates and graduate students in the Applied Archaeology Program in the methods of historical archaeology. The focus of the field school was on the development of the landscape after the town was abandoned.
