Project Archaeology

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 2009 Project Archaeology Teacher Workshop was a success!

Eleven New Hampshire Educators gathered at Manchester Historic Association's Millyard Museum for the workshop. The teachers spent the day doing hands-on activities from the Project Archaeology Teacher's Activity Guide. The activities covered fundamental concepts in Archaeology with lessons such as, "Why is the Past Important?", "Culture Everywhere", and "Chronology: The Time of My Life". 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.
