PROJECT ARCHAEOLOGY PROGRAMS

Project Archaeology uses archaeological inquiry to foster understanding of past and present cultures; improve social studies and science education; and enhance citizenship education to help preserve our archaeological legacy.

Project Archaeology is a comprehensive archaeology
and heritage education program for everyone.

Project Archaeology teaches:

scientific inquiry
citizenship
personal ethics
character
cultural understanding

This curriculum is an excellent way to promote cultural awareness and sensitivity, which leads to an understanding of multicultural perspectives.

Project Archaeology teaches four enduring understandings:

Understanding the human past is essential for understanding the present and shaping the future.
Learning about cultures past and present is essential for living in a pluralistic society and world.
Archaeology is a way to learn about past cultures.
Stewardship of archaeological resources is everyone’s responsibility
