The Voices of the Ancients Institute will expand the length and breadth of American history by employing archaeological inquiry and content, visiting culturally significant places, and hearing the history of those places told by diverse voices.
These ready-to-use lessons equip you to guide students through the core tools of archaeological investigation—observation, inference, evidence, context, and classification—while meeting curricular needs in science, social studies, art, language arts, and math.
