Archaeology - the study of past people through the things they left behind - teaches valuable critical thinking skills, promotes creativity, and makes history tangible and exciting. Our educational resources bring local archaeology right to your classroom! These lessons share more about how archaeologists learn more about the past and engage students with Gulf Coast history.
