Colorful Collaboration in Colorado: Recent Work by the Project Archaeology Colorado Chapter

Author(s): Rebecca Simon; Sarah Baer; Dani Hoefer

Year: 2015

Summary

Colorado archaeologists have a long history in promoting Project Archaeology by providing data for curricula, field work opportunities, and training workshops. Nonetheless, for several years the participation was minimal. A revival of Project Archaeology in Colorado began in 2012 with a teacher training workshop in Broomfield, hosted by SWCA Consultants. Since then, the program steadily increased its presence across the state. Through the devoted efforts of its members, the Colorado Chapter provided facilitator/teacher workshops, developed partnerships with local organizations including the Colorado Council of Professional Archaeologists, Bureau of Land Management, and State Historic Preservation Office, and helped in the evaluation of new materials. This poster presents the standing legacy of Project Archaeology in Colorado while highlighting the success of recent programs and efforts.
