Teaching Archaeology: Highlights from the Committee on Curriculum and the Teaching Archaeology Interest Group

Archaeology is a subject that easily sparks interest among college students. However, it is often difficult to construct activities which teach methodological and theoretical concepts of archaeology within the four walls of a classroom. Archaeologists rarely get a chance to discuss effective classroom activities. This poster session seeks to provide a forum to do exactly that. The SAA Committee on Curriculum is working to provide a digital space for innovative classroom activities to be provided to educators. This session will serve as a platform to show the kinds of activities that will be made available on this new SAA webpage and foster awareness of the effort so that more activities will be submitted. Activity hand outs and all other materials will be made available during the session, along with recommendations for how many and for which students these activities are most appropriate.
