Project Archaeology: Teacher Workshops

Project Archaeology workshops bring archaeology to life and ensure optimal use of the activity guide. Participants learn about the science of archaeology and North Carolina's ancient past through:

• Intrigue of the Past lessons that are designed to teach basic concepts and principles;
• the expertise of professional archaeologists and teacher facilitators;
• discussions and activities regarding the ethics of archaeological site protection; and
• consideration of American Indian perspectives on archaeological preservation.
