American Archaeology, Fall 2023: “Discover the Past–Shape the Future”
From the article: “Project Archaeology is a national education program designed to develop awareness of archaeological sites, cultivate personal responsibility, and enhance historical literacy and cultural understanding.”
I was happy to get this assignment from American Archaeology, because it seemed so straightforward: a program that provides curricula to K-12 teachers to introduce them to archaeology. What I didn’t expect was for this program to mean so much to so many people. I literally had two people start crying when they described how much this programs means to them. Archaeology really is amazing!
