Project Archaeology is a comprehensive archaeology and heritage education program for everyone interested in learning or teaching about our nation’s rich cultural legacy and protecting it for future generations to learn from and enjoy. Project Archaeology includes publications, professional development for educators, networking opportunities, and continuing support for participants. Using an innovative hands-on approach to history, Project Archaeology teaches scientific inquiry, citizenship, personal ethics and character, and cultural understanding.
The April 11th Project Archaeology Teacher Workshop was a success!
Sixteen Educators from all over NH (and some from VT and MA) gathered at Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum for the workshop. The teachers spent the day doing hands-on activities from the Project Archaeology Activity Guide. During the break we had an Atlatl throwing lesson where each participant got a chance to use this ancient spear-throwing weapon. After the workshop the teachers were treated with a guided tour of the museum. The participants left the workshop with a wealth of information on how to properly introduce students to archaeology and had everything they needed to start implementing this interdisciplinary and interactive subject into their classrooms.
