What I Did On My Summer Vacation The growth of interest in archaeology for kids in the US comes from two A big debate in the field of archaeology and kids is what should we do about http://www.summer.uncc.edu/camps/Lyon.html
Extractions: Over the past 15 years, American archaeologists have greatly expanded their educational outreach to primary and secondary school audiences. This trend is part of a development of public education in archaeology which encompasses outreach to schools, amateurs, avocationalists, government officials, and the general public. The importance of outreach, although it still tends to be a minority activity in the lives of most professional archaeologists, is crystallized in the fourth principle of archaeological ethics established by the Society for American Archaeology: Public Education and Outreach Archaeologists should reach out to, and participate in cooperative efforts with others interested in the archaeological record with the aim of improving the preservation, protection, and interpretation of the record. In particular, archaeologists should undertake to: 1) enlist public support for the stewardship of the archaeological record; 2) explain and promote the use of archaeological methods and techniques in understanding human behavior and culture; and 3) communicate archaeological interpretations of the past. Many publics exist for archaeology including students and teachers; Native Americans and other ethnic, religious, and cultural groups who find in the archaeological record important aspects of their cultural heritage; lawmakers and government officials; reporters, journalists, and others involved in the media; and the general public.

SFKC Home Program Summary What do you picture when you think of Texas? Cattle, oil, empty prairie? Scratch below the surface and youll find that those prairies are far from empty, pardner. In hundreds of sites all over the state are buried the remains of the earliest humans in the New World. Two of Iras guests have been studying the remains to develop theories that fly in the face of traditional archeology. For the past 72 years, it has been accepted that the first humans in America were the Clovis people, named after the place where their artifacts were first discovered. They were thought to have walked over a land bridge from Siberia to Alaska about 12,000 years ago, slowly spreading over the continent and into South America. Archaeological evidence of humans that dates back to 12,500 has been found in Chile, while a Clovis site in Texas reveals a culture far too complex to be a founding one, suggesting that Clovis culture developed from an earlier people. Texas digs have also thrown new light onto what we know about mans transition from the paleo period into the archaic period. The Gault project is the excavation of a Clovis culture site that was continually occupied for 11,000 years; artifacts found there have provided insight into how early North American man adapted over time to changes in the environment, such as the end of the Ice Age and the resulting disappearance of large land mammals.

Extractions: ARIZONA ARCHAEOLOGY Arizona is one of the most archaeological-rich states in the nation. Many parks and monuments around the state feature ruins and cliff dwellings along with museums and artifacts. If you live in New River, Cave Creek, or Black Canyon City, there are probably Indian ruins within walking distance of your home. Some of us have even found arrowheads and potsherds right in our own backyards. Next month will be "Arizona Archaeology Awareness Month" in honor of the earliest inhabitants of our state. Everyone is encouraged to visit some archaeological sites and learn more about Arizona's ancient peoples. New River's Archaeological Treasures The land around New River is covered with prehistoric Indian ruins and archaeological sites. Many of these sites are located at the southwest corner of the Tonto National Forest. This transition zone between the lower and upper deserts was the northern periphery of Hohokam culture. The settlement sites in this region are mostly small, widely diverse, and informally organized. The inhabitants were probably in contact with the larger Hohokam villages in the Salt and Gila River Valleys. Hohokam Indians began settling the New River area around 600-800 AD (at the time of the Vikings). The major occupation of the region took place between 1000-1250 AD (the beginning of the Middle Ages). Hohokams lived along the Agua Fria River until approximately 1450 AD (the end of the Middle Ages). By around 1450 AD, this entire area along with the rest of central Arizona had been abandoned.

Extractions: Have you ever dreamed of participating in an Archeological excavation? If so, then an Archeological Vacation might be the vacation for you. Programs are offered by several states during the summer months to train the average individual in excavation techniques, along with record keeping and surveying procedures. You do not have to be an expert in the field of Archeology to participate. Most people who attend these field workshops are interested in archeology or history but have never had the opportunity to explore this area. Archeology is not limited to the study of things prehistoric-pertaining to the time before recorded history. Historic archeology is another popular field that deals with the not-so-distant past. Programs offered by the states listed are for both prehistoric and historic Archeology. The Texas Archeological Society sponsors an archeological excavation/field school to train individuals in the proper techniques of excavating, recording and the preservation of finds. Each year the dig is located in a different part of the state during one of the summer months and lasts for eight days. During the excavation/field school individuals stay in tents or RVâs that are located close to the excavation site. The principle focus of the dig is for the average individual to be able to participate in a professionally run archeological excavation. Participants can choose from several different jobs at the dig:

Paulsen said they thought it was just an animal and kept digging. The boys, all age 14, uncovered a portion of a rib cage and what appeared to be the back of a skull. Schofield told his grandfather about their discovery who then called police. Salt Lake City police Lieutenant Cray Croft say the remains were in a hole about four-feet deep and said they had been there for a long time. " Full story: KSLTV
