OUR VISION

WHAT WE STRIVE TO ACHIEVE

We envision a world in which all people understand and appreciate their own culture and history and the culture and history of others.

UNESCO CONVENTION ON CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE
We join UNESCO in the belief that the protection of cultural heritage (a broad term which includes archaeological sites), as an expression of living culture, contributes to the development of societies and the building of peace.

MISSION
Project Archaeology uses archaeological inquiry to foster understanding of past and present cultures; improve social studies, science, and literacy education; and enhance citizenship education to help preserve our archaeological legacy.

    Our History, Our New Journey

    ByLaura

    Project Archaeology is a national archaeology education program founded by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for educators and their students. It was developed in the early 1990s for three purposes: to develop awareness of our nation’s diverse and fragile archaeological sites, to instill a sense of personal responsibility for stewardship of these sites, and to enhance science literacy and cultural understanding through the study of archaeology.  The program began in Utah in 1990 as a statewide project to combat the vandalism and looting of archaeological sites.
