Archaeology provides an amazing vehicle for teaching the Common Core and engaging students in lessons across the curricula, while emphasizing teaching for deep understanding of big ideas or broad concepts. Social sciences, history, and science easily find avenues for collaboration, while students use language arts and math skills to analyze and apply data, as well as to write reports. Archaeological inquiry may be used to understand the human past, employing such tools as observation, inference,...
Colorful Collaboration in Colorado: Recent Work by the Project Archaeology Colorado Chapter (2015)
Colorado archaeologists have a long history in promoting Project Archaeology by providing data for curricula, field work opportunities, and training workshops.

This presented the opportunity to assist in determining the scope and direction of national Project Archaeology while remaining cognizant of the challenges Iowa would face as a state where curriculum decisions are locally determined. Thirteen years later, Iowa PA has a stable foothold with dedicated...
Inquiry-Based Learning and the Kingsley Shelter Curriculum (2013)
Archaeologists invested in outreach and education, such as the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), are adapting to an American educational climate focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)-based resources. As such, the investigation of a Kingsley Slave Cabin addition to the Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter curriculum is a critically needed resource, allowing students from elementary schools across the southeastern United States to engage in science and math...
My best day at FPAN was teaching teachers: Celebrating 10 years of Project Archaeology in Florida (2016)

Archaeologists in the state linked with educators as early as 1992, disseminating curriculum materials as part of Kansas Archeology Week. An early focus on shelter played a key role in the development of national Project Archaeology's first Investigating Shelter unit, drawing on a Kansas example. Since then, the Kansas Historical Society has adopted the national themes of shelter, food and culture, and migration...
