If by "field" Dan means the property of an object attached to a wiki page
#set ($field =
$xwiki.getDocument('Blog.BlogIntroduction').getObject('Blog.BlogPostClass').getProperty('publishDate'))
then the field type can be obtained from the XClass
#set ($fieldType =
$xwiki.getDocument('Blog.BlogPostClass').getxWikiClass().get('publishDate'))
$fieldType.classType
$fieldType.type
This is documented at

.
Hope this helps,
