Past events...
In June 2022, some very targeted Project Archaeology lessons and activities were presented to Chandler Unified School District future Sixth Graders as part of their summer camp fun–over 90 students !
In March and May 2022, we did a Backwards Archaeology Living room investigation with over 80 students at the Mercury Mine School and a follow up investigation activity at the the Pueblo Grande Hohokam pithouse activity site. In both of these activities, students put on their investigator caps and used their new interpretation skills to identify evidence, context and how to infer site use. This was part of a school-wide year dedication to learning about indigenous cultures.
On October 30, 2021, Arizona Project Archaeology hosted a half day Investigating Shelter workshop in conjunction with the Arizona Site Steward Program Annual Conference. This session was held at the Pueblo Grande Museum Archaeological Park in downtown Phoenix. We reviewed curriculum and participated in some activities together.
