ARCHAEOLOGY SERIES FOR HOME SCHOOL STUDENTS (Grades 6-12)
This four part series will take you into the depths of understanding past human existence through the science of archaeology. Unlike studying history that uses mostly written documentation for information, archaeology uses artifacts, analysis, and scientific processes to help uncover the stories of people long ago. This class will teach the process, interpretation methods and ethics of archaeology. Utilizing curriculum from Project Archaeology, students will be given an opportunity to dive deeper in to the science of archaeology, hands on experiences and real archaeological application. One off-site visit will occur pending approval.

All classes run from 2pm-4pm in the Seminar Room.
Wednesday, April 7 - Intro to Archaeology
Wednesday, April 14 - Site Interpretation
Wednesday, April 21 - Field Basics and Archaeological Ethics
Wednesday, April 28  - Field trip TBA

Class size is limited to 10 (students only please), and pre-registration is required at 406.994.5282 or ndixon@montana.edu. Cost for the series is $50 for members and $75 for non-members.
