"When the Common Core was adopted, we were told that we were not expected to broaden the amount of material being taught, but we were to add more depth. Project Archaeology gives me all sorts of ways to deepen the curriculum for my students. It’s an added bonus that I’m positive they will really enjoy learning it."
EDUCATOR - Utah
"This is by far the best workshop I have attended in a very long time. Not only did I learn new lessons to teach, but I am so excited that I can integrate them right into reading, writing, and math."
WORKSHOP ATTENDEE - United States
"Project Archaeology helped me explore and process traditional Dine' teachings and taboos about death and "Ancient Ones" who left artifacts, and messages on rock walls. Instead of being afraid of archaeological sites, like I used to be, I have changed my perspective and try to compare and correlate these two world views. There are still things I avoid, because of my tribal teachings, but some I can work through."
NEBO TITLE VI INDIAN EDUCATION COORDINATOR - Eileen Quintana
"Wow, I already have plans for your curriculum! I love it! During our PIR days, our school had two main objectives – Incorporating Native American studies across the curriculum, and writing. Your work covers BOTH…Our theme for the month of September is a “persuasive” paper. I have been struggling to come up with a meaningful topic for sixth graders… until now. This is perfect and so meaningful and relevant to our study of ancient civilizations…my recent exposure to the Anzick site has touched me deeply and inspired me to learn more! I’m truly excited about what lies ahead, and am so grateful for your collection of work that you have shared with me and other educators."

“Project Archaeology is a perfect vehicle for fulfilling the public outreach obligation for Section 106 treatment plans. What better way to reach a wide audience than providing teachers with hands-on experience to take back to their students? Metcalf Archaeology’s engagement with Project Archaeology was one of the best decisions we have made. Not only has it been good for the teachers, it has forced us to think about our work in a manner that enables better communication with the public at large.”
