WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

We provide services to school and museums educators, students of all ages, and archaeologists including: high-quality curricular materials which model authentic archaeological inquiry; professional development for educators and archaeologists; and support for Project Archaeology educators through state and regional programs, conferences, new materials, and networking opportunities.

FOR EDUCATORS - Engage learners, meet standards, and change lives


Utilize award-winning inquiry-based curricula that meets Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Our high quality, interactive curricula can be accessed through our professional development.

Project Archaeology teaches four enduring understandings:

  1. Understanding the past is essential for understanding the present and shaping the future.
  2. Learning about cultures, past and present, is essential for living in a pluralistic society and world.
  3. Archaeology is a systematic way to learn about past cultures.
  4. Stewardship of archaeological sites and artifacts is everyone’s responsibility.
