Designed for grade 3-8 educators, but all are welcome.

Archaeology Month 2012 has arrived! Are you prepared? Analyze groups of artifacts to identify and describe the various lifestyles of prehistoric culture in Ohio. This portion of the workshop covers the earliest Paleo-Indian groups through the Moundbuilders to the time of European contact. Next we'll excavate a simulated archaeology site on Museum grounds after a classroom orientation on proper archaeological methods. Suitable outdoor clothing is essential. We will discuss additional resources available for teachers at the CMNH Science Resource Center. A teacher pamphlet and a thorough exploration of the Museum galleries are included!
